My opinion on MIDIs has changed

[MNC]

If you still think of MIDIs as those bleepbloop music files, well, I really hope you're about to change the way I did. Program used: music animation MIDI player (www.musanim.com/player/). So hattanyaro makes midi files, puts them into this player and records the visual output. The outcome is amazing.

LOL that's awesome.

I miss awesome video game music like this. Even if the sound technically fails.

[Con]

Wow, amazing

I love my 1000-midi-keygen-sound-collection :awesome:

[beele]

I really like it.

Midi's all depend on the program playing them. I personally prefer the older style MIDI files than the ones that play the songs with modern representations of instruments.

[Roostervier]

Really cool. I'd fix the link in your post though. :\

ditto, but you cant say that the megaman 2 one didnt bring back the good old days.

[Zeph]

I actually never played megaman for more than an hour.

I wonder what the music from Sonic looks like.

Are you serious? I don't know how I'd live without my Chrono Symphonic. Honestly one of my favourite instrumentals that I've listened to and it's all electronic. Takes songs from Chrono Trigger, one of the BEST RPGs of all time, and does a movie-like remake of it.

It's by a group from OCRemixes.

Oh man, I feel sorry for you. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/CN3089/Emoticons/07-19-06-smith.gif

Link fixed.

Oh wow, that rehash of Wily's Fortress is orgasmically awesome. He took one of the best (imo) platformer BGMs ever written to date and somehow made it better.

[Pooky]

Needs the Metroid Brinstar theme :(

This thing is cool! I have always been a fan of MIDIs, ever since I owned a Win95 computer with only 2gb of hard disk space (I mean, who would download mp3s if you could only have 50 of them and have to uninstall Duke Nukem 3D to make them fit? Wouldn't happen).

It brings to light, though, that my midi driver isn't working properly (some of my midis have sounds in them that don't even play, and this program even shows that the sounds are supposed to be there). Slightly offtopic, but how do I reinstall just my MS GS Wavesynth drivers for Vista so that this thing works properly? If it requires a Vista install CD, I guess buying a computer with a pre-installed OS was a mistake, eh?

Didn't the first Halo make use of MIDI instruments?

[flibitijibibo]

Botolf: Yup, pretty much everything but voices were MIDI.

I wish my MIDIs could be animated... don't have the visual 1337ness to think of arrangements like that though.

So that's how those Japanese video game makers came up with thousands of unique songs...
