[[Music in Pikmin|''Pikmin''{{'s}} soundtrack]] was composed by Hajime Wakai. He uses the [[#Kurzweil K2500|Kurzweil K2500R]] and [[#Roland SC-88|Roland SC-88]] synthesizers, and the SampleCell II software. The two aforementioned synthesizers make up the vast majority of sounds heard in the soundtrack, though a few sample CD-ROMs are also seldom used; these CD-ROMs are formatted for SampleCell II, which serves the function of a sampler.

[[Music in Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} soundtrack]] was composed by Hajime Wakai and Kazumi Totaka, and features a wider range of products used. The Kurzweil K2500R and Roland SC-88 are once again prominently used by Hajime Wakai. SampleCell II sample libraries no longer see any use by Hajime Wakai for this title; instead, sounds from InVision Lightware 1, East-West Drums + Percussion, and the AKAI CD3000 Sound Library can be heard, all of which came packaged with the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G52ErOIwXAY AKAI CD3000] sampler. Kazumi Totaka uses the [[#Yamaha S90|Yamaha S90]] and a slew of different sample libraries for his music.

===''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} soundtrack]] was composed by Asuka Hayazaki, Atsuko Asahi, and Hajime Wakai. It was the first main title to have a soundtrack consisting wholly of streamed music; singular instrument samples do not exist individually within the game itself, although sampling can still occur within the music creation process. The Kurzweil K2500 is still prominent in this soundtrack, but it is being used by Asuka Hayazaki, alongside her {{w|Korg Triton|KORG Triton Studio}}.

===''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin 4|''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} soundtrack]] was composed by Asuka Hayazaki, Kenta Nagata, and Soshi Abe. Due to the recency of this soundtrack, it is the most subject to complex sampling techniques and higher sound design standards. The majority of the instruments used are also now software instruments. Although a few old sounds from the Kurzweil K2500 and Roland SC-88 are still occasionally used, every instance of a preset is merely a singular sample; no evidence suggests these hardware synths were physically present during production.

===''Hey! Pikmin''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Hey! Pikmin|''Hey! Pikmin''{{'s}} soundtrack]] was composed by Masato Kouda and Kento Hasegawa. Since these two composers are unique to this title, the utilized libraries are also notably unique to this soundtrack. Similarly to ''Pikmin 3'', its soundtrack is streamed, though the absence of older hardware synthesizers marks a turning point in the desired fidelity of instruments; this game's musical compositions mainly consist of software instruments, and this preference over older, less realistic hardware instruments can be further examined in the music of ''Pikmin 4''.
