eXtra Wide Body Jet (Ensoniq ESS-ESFM Original Song)

"eXtra Wide Body" is a moniker given to an aircraft developed by Airbus, specifically the Airbus A350. It was developed in the early to mid-2010s as a response to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Like its rival, the aircraft is made with composite materials, though it doesn't use electric systems extensively like the 787 (the A350 uses bleed air, which generally takes the compressed air from the engines and uses it for cabin pressurization). As its moniker implies, the "eXtra Wide Body" of the A350 allows for 10-abreast seating, and the passengers have more headroom, larger overhead storage space, and wider windows when compared to its predecessor the A330 (and, by extension, the A330's re-engined variant the A330neo). Due to its size, the A350 does tend to be larger than even the largest 787 variant, and is more comparable to the larger variants of the A340 (also its predecessor, which it was designed to replace) and the Boeing 777 (which it also competes with). The moniker "eXtra Wide Body" is also given to the engines that power the Airbus A350 (Roll-Royce Trent XWB).
This tune is based on a very early version of Highway Rush Rewritten that I had started back in September 2018, which would've been around two months after I took a non-constructive comment to heart about my original songs at the time. Under the name of "Highway Rush Mk.II," I set about redoing the song with completely different notes on Famicom using the VRC6 and only the noise and DPCM channels of the RP2A03 (pretty much the same setup as the original version of Highway Rush), before putting it in the backburner as a result of a little demotivation, and then remade it on YM2608 in 2020 using what remained of the original version of the song (I still have a WIP module of it as I recall overwriting the module to the final version of it at some point). I basically took whatever I was doing in that early version of Highway Rush Rewritten, and transformed it into something else entirely. This song serves as the sequel to my FM Towns tune Dreamliner.
What is the ESFM? This appears to be a variation of the Yamaha YMF262/OPL3 by Ensoniq, which was used on their ESS AudioDrive cards. Compared to the various clones of the OPL3 from the 90s, Ensoniq seemed to have expanded the capabilities of their version. There are 72 oscillators, which are configured as 18 separate 4OP channels. There's also individual frequency controls and stereo masks on each operator, and you can freely configure which operator is the modulator and the carrier. In other words, the ESFM is basically an OPL3 on steroids. This isn't my first use of the ESFM, as I covered a song some months ago on this chip just to get a feel for its capabilities, and I was impressed. So, I decided to create an original tune to go all out with this chip's capabilities.
