"The heart of the Tomb Raider sound is the Roland JV-1080 and SR-JV80- 02 Orchestral Expansion Card. If anyone has this combo, they could easily replicate the TR sound. I did make use of several other instruments including a Korg Trinity v3 (a lot of this can be heard on Puzzle_Part_I) as well as my own Yamaha AN1x (which can be heard on Boss_01) but, 90% of the time, it’s a JV + Expansion."

The track that set the wheels in motion for me, way WAY back in early ‘99. 95% produced on a Roland JV1080 + SR-JV80-02 Orchestral Expansion Board. THEE sound of Tomb Raider… and some Peter Siedlaczek samples too.

"Roland JV-2080 / 1080 Synthesiser

25 years ago, this was my bread and butter synth, I wrote pretty much everything on this machine. Tomb Raider 4 & 5 OST’s were composed on it, and, today, they still stand tall and have passed the test of time "
