The [https://www.vintagesynth.com/kurzweil/k2500.php Kurzweil K2500] is a synthesizer manufactured by Kurzweil Music Systems in 1996. The Kurzweil K2500R is its rackmount variant, and the specific model that was owned and used by [[Nintendo#Hajime Wakai|Hajime Wakai]]. Typically, rackmount versions of synthesizers are identical in functionality, but they lack a physical keyboard. This makes them more compact and easy to cram into a studio space; however, it is intended that they be connected to an external MIDI device, such as a musical keyboard, a computer, or some other MIDI-compatible instrument in order to use them.

The {{w|Roland Sound Canvas|Roland SC-88}} is a General MIDI-based synthesizer, manufactured by Roland in 1994. An entry in the Roland Sound Canvas series, it has 654 default instrument presets and 22 drumset presets that are designed to perfectly conform to the General MIDI standard, making it excellent for the playback of MIDI songs. It is still useful as a compositional tool; the sounds from the Roland Sound Canvas line of synthesizers are very common in video games. Compressed samples of audio from a SC-55 are even utilized for the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, the default "soundfont" for MIDI playback on most computers.{{cite youtube|vqlnV4ukreg|of a live comparison between the SC-55 (via the virtual SCVA plugin) and the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth}}

*The [[#Kurzweil K2500|Kurzweil K2500R]] and [[#Roland SC-88|Roland SC-88]] alone make up nearly 90% of the soundtrack for {{P1}}, and over 55% of the soundtrack for {{P2}}.{{cite web |rname=spreadsheet}}

*The in-game instruments that play the sequenced music of ''Pikmin 1'' and ''Pikmin 2'' use {{w|Envelope (music))|envelopes}}, of which there exist four types with different attenuations. There exists a basic "Linear", "Square", and "SquareRoot" attenuation, but only the fourth type gets used, curiously named "SampleCell".<ref>From instruction <code>0x80478be0</code> of the US Demo 17 ''Pikmin 2'' DOL; function <code>JASOscillator::relTableSampleCell</code> with debugging symbols.</ref> This fourth envelope type is similar to the SampleCell II software's instrument attenuation, suggesting that the instruments may have been programmed and designed in this software, prior to their in-game implementation.
