Airship - A Steampunk Fantasy Game Music Pack - 44 Tracks

Airship is a 44 track score for steampunk and airship games: the helm and the boiler deck, a clockwork capital with its market, workshop, clock tower and music hall, the moors and the coal seam, a clockwork vault, sky battles, two bosses and the cues a game fires all day.

Two gears, every track. Every track on this record carries a canon: a second line, the part named counter in each MIDI file, enters behind the tune and plays the same melody, in the same rhythm and the same steps of the key, while the tune is still going. In each full piece it follows one bar behind in the first part of the loop, then closes to two beats behind in the second part; in each cue it is two beats behind. Checked note by note on the shipped MIDI: 218 canonic entries across all 44 tracks, 2056 counter notes in canon. Run the same reading over the other 26 albums in this studio's catalogue, 1037 tracks, and 5 of them carry one; no album carries one on every track.

Brass, steam and clockwork, one voice. Trumpets, horns, trombones and tuba, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, flute and piccolo, an accordion, a reed organ and a calliope, with harpsichord, harp, marimba, celesta, tubular bells and a music box for the machinery. 30 General MIDI sounds in all, six modes (Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Lydian, Aeolian and harmonic minor) across 36 keys.

What you get. 44 OGG files, 34 of them with sample accurate LOOPSTART and LOOPLENGTH tags, which is what RPG Maker MV and MZ read. 44 editable .mid sources. A Readme with per engine import notes, the proof reports, and a royalty free commercial licence.

One family of 5 cells. Steam, Cog, Gale, Furnace and Crown. Steam climbs two thirds and opens the title, the deck and the city; Cog breaks that climb into a tick for the machinery; Gale widens it for the open sky; Furnace turns it over for the enemy; Crown takes it in one leap of a fifth for the court and the king. 2608 statements and fragments of those cells across the album, counted by the harness in the finished MIDI.

Gate results. 780 theory checks and 498 audio checks, 0 failed, and the reports ship inside the download. They say the music is correctly written, rendered and tagged. They are not a claim about taste, which is what the free tracks are for.

Three full tracks are free on this page, with their MIDI: Halcyon Rising, the title theme, Inside the Great Clock, the clockwork piece, and The Clockwork King, the final boss.

An honest note. The renders are a General MIDI reference render through a conventional soundfont, so the MIDI is yours to re voice with your own instruments. The composition system is AI written code and no generative audio model is used anywhere.
