Some additional notes (this applies to part 1 and 2 of this video): I did indeed do a few covers, but I decided to only include two of them because the others had too many inaccuracies incurred either by being limited to only 4 tracks (Auxy Classic and Beatwave), not having access to certain features (automation in Medly Music Maker since I have a 2nd generation iPad running iOS 9.3.5), or a complete improvisation of certain parts that I now think didn't work out too well. Billie Jean is a well-known song, and Dark Dungeon is from some obscure Game Maker game from 2009 called "Pam's Adventure: The New Adventure." I only covered it (as well as Volcanic Velocity found in part 2) because it was included with The Ultimate Megadrive Soundfont (I was into "chiptune" soundfonts when I covered the tune). I let some of my relatives (mainly my sister and cousin) try their hand at making music, and at some point, I either did my own version of their songs or I mashed them into one song. I only uploaded my versions of those songs. "JS1997" is the initials of one of my previous usernames (JetStar1997). You'll hear many songs reusing the same notes and beats and whatnot. On some songs, I attempted to emulate a sound system with a limited amount of polyphony. It doesn't work out too well since the instruments have a set release rate. As such, whatever limited polyphony I was going for ended up being broken anyway. The song "Ionic Offense" was originally done entirely in a chromatic scale. In 2015 (when I did this song), I had no concept of musical scales, so I just went with it. But, for the sake of better listening (and I think the song sounds too strange and unlistenable now), I re-recorded the song with the aeolian scale. Over time, I would update the songs either because I wanted to change or improve a few things or take advantage of what new things were added to apps I used. All songs in both parts are the latest versions I did before abandoning music making apps on iPad in 2017.

4 hours, 29 minutes and nearly 40 seconds of seratonin
also known as SuperJet and The iPad Symphony
Even more so when you add part 2 and 3, which is nearly 8 hours and 30 minutes 😉
4 and a half hours of music, I liked it
Stay tuned for part 2! That one has another 3+ hours worth of my very old tunes.
