MODER MOTION MUSIC PACK
Version 1
Released November 29, 2013 by Kevin Fields (kamnet)

RELEASE NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Modern Motion Music Pack pays tribute to the spirit of the original music from Transport Tycoon Deluxe and composer John Broomhall. Running nearly 99 minutes long, these 30 songs bring a modern sound to OpenTTD, and should inspire gameplay for games in the late 20th and early 21st century. All songs here are original compositions from Kit "Monochrome" F, George E. Martin, Bjorn Lynne and Brian Dill.

All works are copyright by the original artists and released to players of OpenTTD under a Creative Commons license. Users may distribute this original collection with proper attribution to all artists, it may not be used for commercial purposes, and you may not distribute any modified or derivative versions of these works. This release is intended solely for your own personal use and enjoyment.

I noticed at the end of you post, you suggest to search for your winter set rather than "Modern Motion" at the fruit store.

Plenty of Bjorn Lynne, maybe time to switch music back on in the game?

Hello, tycoons!
Remake of "Home Town" soundtrack melody from OpenTTD, written by Kit "Monochrome" F. Like it so much, that i want to redone it, in more modern way: non-general midi approach.
You can listen to it here:

Hope, you like it.

If you don't mind of course:)

I can't give permission for those, you'll have to seek them from the original composers.

have you asked that "monochrome" guy, if you can do remixes and distribute it under a specific licence ? if so, you can include it in a Music Set and release it (or more tracks...if you want a real set.)

Apologies for necro'ing a thread with my first post. There is a reason for it - I promise!

I contributed four of the tracks in this pack, although life got in the way and I dropped off the internet for... well, a while. I wasn't sure if they'd actually been used or not - things were still up in the air the last time I was about. Anyway...


First up, spacedrone808, if you find your way back here, you're absolutely welcome to redo any of my tracks. I always made my tracks available, free of charge for any non-commercial use, with derivative rights included. Unfortunately, the site these were all hosted on (Laura's Midi Heaven) is now defunct, but I'll reattach some of the files I contributed here to make things easier for folks.

Green Hill. This is actually an updated build - the file used in the pack has a playback bug in Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10. They've reduced the polyphony limit on the default synth, and that causes the lead instrument to cut out randomly. This version simplifies some of the background sound-field to avoid triggering that bug, at the cost of some fidelity on XP.

Home Town. Version used in the pack.

City Of Energy. Version used in the pack.

Now, off to the wiki to see what the format for a music pack is. :)

Welcome back to the digital side of life! When I get a chance I'll make an update with the improved version of Green Hill. Thank you for your contributions. "Modern Motion" is the music set I pretty much exclusively use myself. :)

Thanks for this compilation, it sounds great. Uploaded the whole set on youtube so I can listen to it in any device without depending on MIDI devices acting up or not :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI7AGPdL_OM
"Laura's Heaven" is offline, do you happen to know other sites to find cool MIDIs like these? The problem is MIDI playback is a pain to setup on modern browsers, the only way I know is downloading them and playing them manually afterwards. Never imagined I would see the day MIDI playback would become so hard to get going, it was such a basic default thing back in the days, any computer would play it out of the box. :lol:

Unfortunately there are not many sites like that left these days. Many of the people who were in the MIDI scene have become inactive or passed away, their sites untended. Many of those sites were set up on free web hosting platforms that have gone under, and even in the cases of those who had a dedicated domain name, the sites were not maintained by their families or friends (if they had any) after their deaths. Their hobbies, passions and works have simply vanished.

Those who are still in the scene have also mostly switched from posting raw MIDI files to posting MP3/MP4/MPA/FLAC/OGG audio files, because it allows them to record their music with the sound fonts of their choosing and the music sounds exactly as they imagined it and do not have to rely on the end-user to have the same set-up.

Play back in the web browser is a little problematic. I'm on Windows. I use the XMPlay audio play with the MIDI playback extension and some sound fonts installed. The program has a feature that automatically starts playing a URL for a music file if you copy the link into your clipboard. Makes for fairly effortless playback for a single song if I want to listen to it.

Hello,

It appears that the file can't be downloaded correctly from BaNaNaS anymore. Thus, some musics such as "The Angry Pawn" or "Let's Go" don't have all their notes playing. Could you please correct this issue ? :)

Thank you very much in advance.

The files in question make calls that are not supported in the basic General MIDI spec. While this did play correctly in versions of OpenTTD up to 1.8.0, corrections to bugs in the MIDI player starting with 1.9.0 meant that these files no longer play all of their notes.

Since I am not the original composer of these files, and they are not open source, I am not legally allowed to alter them and distribute them.

The issue was recently raised on the OpenTTD Github as a user pointed out to me.
https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/issues/10298

As noted in the thread, there is a workaround. Open your openttd.cfg file and modify this entry:

Code: Select all

musicdriver = win32
This will revert OpenTTD to use the older/flawed driver and should play as expected.
