Lee Jackson recently released the MIDI of the full, complete version of the Grabbag music theme from Duke Nukem 3D. This extended version was included as a bonus CD Audio track on the Atomic Edition addon of Duke 3D, but only the short version was actually used ingame.
0:00 - Roland Virtual Sound Canvas
2:07 - Roland Hyper Canvas
Notes
* The full version of Grabbag was actually written for the Roland SC-88.
* There are 2 versions of the Grabbag MIDI: One for GM devices, and one for GS devices.
* The GS version was used for the VSC recording, with the VSC in GS mode.
* The GM version was used for the Hyper Canvas recording, since the Hyper Canvas does not have a GS mode.
