506b - Town Night A [was Outdoors Night: Lava] (real MT-32 version)
From the full and complete soundtrack OST to Might and Magic V(5): World of Xeen: Darkside of Xeen (and Swords of Xeen) (マイト・アンド・マジックV)

GAME FILE: twnnitea + twnnitea end (midi, game)
Date Composed: 1993-02-07~1992-02-18, 1993-09-29(9801), 1993-11-25(9821), 1994-02-14(FMT)
Composed by Tim Tully & Greg Alper ©1993

(NOTE: Commentary has been written for the MT-32 version, and may not apply to all versions of the soundtrack.)

This is one of the five themes which randomly play in every town: 'Town Day 1', 'Town Walk', 'New Bright Town', 'Town Night A', and 'Town Night B'. There is an additional "end" measure in order to construct a non-looping version of this cue (MT-32 only).

The game version (B) changes the original version's (A) "Harpsichord1" to "Harp1".

The original commission from Mike Heilemann to Tim Tully on 1993-02-08 states, "Town: 3x 60 second days, and 3x 60 second nights." However, in the final game, the same random cues are selected from out of the group regardless of what time of day it currently is.

The text comment in the original midi file reads, "Night Lava," which means that at some point this was originally supposed to be "Outdoors Night (3?): Lava".

The music from this game, having originally been composed using the Roland MT-32, has been recorded directly from an authentic MT-32. Due to the hardware limitations of the MT-32 causing polyphony problems, each channel has been recorded independently and then merged into a single track. Therefore, no notation data is lost through polyphony limitations and the tracks may finally be heard as intended. It also must be noted, that due to a programming error in the final game's .M music format, the notation of every single song in the final game has been lowered by 2 semitones. The FM and SC-55 Canvas versions (having been made from the original MT-32 versions, and the FM version being unable to be altered) have retained this 2 semitone lowering (with an exception of the Main Opening Themes in the SC-55 version, since unique Sound Canvas versions were composed for these by Tully's team), while all of the MT-32 versions play at their original tone as composed even though they would be lowered by two semitones in the final game.
