Hint: It might be helpful for composers to hear out the instruments from the list below and think about for what kind of sound they are fitting for their own projects while listening.
Instruments used (12):
Drums: Basedrum 909 Analog Kick (NTonyx 32MB GM Stereo Bank + Soft Amp FM25 to increase the kick punch with some extra 'Drive') + SFZ Soundfontplayer, TR-909 Elements (Echo Soundworks Wave Samples + Sitala VST as Sampler)
Percussion: Emu SP-12 Wave Samples, Reverse Cymbal Wave Sample
Bass1: Roland SH-101 / TAL Bassline "layered" / SubBass Preset +PanCake Effect / Rhythm Preset Panorama effect / higher tweaked to keep free space/room for 2nd bass
Bass2: (as Monster Bass) Lately Bass Wave Samples + Sitala (+OldSkoolVerb / Spatial Plate Preset +SoftAmp FM25 for more punch) plays two root notes (octaved)
Strings: HQ Orchestral SF Bank / Strings Preset 48 + Ambience Reverb,
Fluid R3 SF Bank / Tremolo Strings Preset 44 + Ambience Rev. for the more intense and increased energy moments as well as for the more 'melodic' string parts.
Synth Pads: Octave Choir (Tomb Raider1 PSX Choir / Single Soundfont) Yes, this is definitely the Preset used in PS1 Tomb Raider for Choir sounds! (for 80-95% sure, or if not, it must sound extremely simular) + Ambience Reverb / Papen bright and long Preset, slightly tweaked to fit the required sound. If you read this and havent know before how to create these nice Tomb Raider 1 Choir sound 1:1 than you're very lucky to finally have the ingredients on how to produce this sound.
Lead: Superwave P8 / Trance Arpeggio Preset + OldSkoolVerb / GrandHall + PanCake Panorama Effect / Left to Right 2 Preset + TAL Dub III Delay/Echo Effect / Std. Preset
Nylon Guitar: Spanish Classical Guitar (Single Soundfont) + OldSkoolVerb / Grand Hall, for certain melody and guitarsolo parts

My Todo list (Still undone but planned for version2)
- A 2nd Lead on the Rap verse part (also to make the rap part easier to perform for the black man
)- Rhythm Guitar (in particular chord rhythms)
- some more guitar arp effects on transitions
- More interesting Percussion Fills like Toms on transitions
- chorus vocals (some vocals are still recognizable at strings and nylon guitar)
As for V2 Changes:
- increase of the nylon guitar volume slightly
- improve of some percussion parts
- some slight variations on the main lead
- make the Rap verse more 'rappable' by creating a nice, unique extra rhythm feel/touch
