about

Official soundtrack, produced in partnership with the original composers. (This is version 2 of the soundtrack, having been (surprisingly) updated with a collection of lost music discovered at the end of 2020.)

The Roland MT-32 is the original mother version of the soundtrack for Might and Magic III, present in the original PC MS-DOS version of the game, as well as also available in the PC-9801 and FM-Towns Japanese ports. The music was later edited and converted into the game's final .M music format by Todd Hendrix. But in the process, due to a programming error, the notes of every single song are played in the game itself 2 semitones too low. (An error which has *not* been retained in this recording.)

The soundtrack has been recorded using an authentic MT-32 from the composers' original MIDI files, with an exception of those done by Rob Wallace, which were recorded from the the converted .M files. Due to the hardware limitations of the MT-32 resulting in polysynth problems, each channel has been recorded independently and then merged into a single track. Therefore, no notation data is lost through polysynth limitations and the tracks may finally be heard as intended.

Bonus material:
(#1) Detailed archival tracklist.

The archival soundtrack series contains all known music from said title, including 1 second jingles, unused music, beta versions, and more.

Soundtrack and any bonus materials may not be re-distributed elsewhere withouth the express permission of Xeen Music.
