Jade Mountains - A Wuxia Game Music Pack - 44 Tracks

Jade Mountains is a 44 track score for wuxia and martial arts games: the sect hall, the training courtyard, the market town and the teahouse, the mountain road and the bamboo forest, duels, battles and bosses, and the cues a game fires all day.

Five notes, every part. Every track is written in one of the five pentatonic modes (Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi and Yu; this record has Gong 16, Shang 4, Jue 1, Zhi 8, Yu 15) and no part of any track ever plays a note outside its five. That means the bass, the chords and every inner line, not only the tune. Checked on the shipped MIDI, 10015 notes across all 44 tracks, 0 outside. Run the same check over the other 24 albums in this studio's catalogue, 949 tracks, and not one of them passes it.

Ornaments written into the notes. The lead lines carry 230 leaning grace notes and 238 written out slides, and the guzheng parts sweep up the pentatonic strings into a section 6 times. They are real notes in the MIDI, so they stay when you re voice a part.

What plays what. General MIDI has no erhu, dizi or guzheng, so the parts are written in those instruments' idiom and played on the nearest General MIDI sound: violin for the erhu lines, flute and piccolo for the dizi, shakuhachi for the xiao, koto for the guzheng, dulcimer for the yangqin, oboe for the suona. The Readme lists every one. If you own the real instruments as samples, the MIDI is yours to re voice.

What is in it. 32 full pieces and 12 short cues, 44:23 of music. The sect: Jade Mountains, Rivers and Lakes, The Old Master's Tale, Hall of the Azure Peak, Morning Forms and Scripture Pavilion. The jianghu: Lantern Market, Teahouse Gossip, Inn at the Crossroads, The Mountain Road, Cloud Above the Pass, River of Reeds, Bamboo Forest, Map of the Jianghu and Moon over the Pagoda. Steel: Bamboo Duel, Bandits at the Ford, Rival Sect, Surrounded, The Iron Fan Master, The Demon Sect Leader and Rooftop Pursuit. Quiet places and memory: Hidden Temple, Meditation Cave, Mist on the Peaks, The Swordswoman, The Fallen Master, Parting at the Willow, Lantern Festival, Burned Monastery, Return to the Mountain and Song of the Wanderer. Cues: Victory, Defeat, Breakthrough, Secret Manual, Ambush!, Hidden Cave Found, Tea Is Poured, Tournament Gong, Killing Intent, Setting Out, The Master Appears and Technique Mastered.

What you get. 44 OGG files, 32 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. Peak, Blade, Mist, Tea and Crane. Peak opens the title, the sect hall and the road; Blade throws it open into a leap and opens every duel and boss; Mist turns it to fall for distance and loss; Tea settles it for the towns; Crane climbs straight up the five notes for breakthroughs and victories. 447 statements and fragments of those cells across the album, counted by the harness in the finished MIDI.

Gate results. 776 theory checks and 492 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: Jade Mountains, the title theme, then Bamboo Duel and The Iron Fan Master, which open on the same cell, back to back.

An honest note on the style. This is a game score written in a pentatonic musical language with the ornaments of the instruments it imitates. It is not a recording of traditional Chinese music and does not claim to be. The renders are a General MIDI reference render through a conventional soundfont. The composition system is AI written code and no generative audio model is used anywhere.
