Prince - bobby prince Music, BMIThese are the official MIDIs of the original full-length versions of "Into the Fortress" and "The Serpent" from Blake Stone: Planet Strike. The MIDIs were downloaded from Bobby Prince's website using the Wayback Machine. "Into the Fortress" was originally written for Aliens of Gold but ended up being used in Planet Strike. According to Bobby's website, memory limitations at the time meant all the songs unfortunately had to be significantly reduced in length in order to be usable in-game. These are so far the only full Blake Stone tracks released by Bobby.The recordings in this video were made with CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth 2.11.2 and Arachno SoundFont 1.0.The song titles and copyright notices were found in the MIDIs' metadata.Blake Stone was developed by JAM Productions and published by Apogee Software.Blake Stone can be purchased from 3D Realms here: 3drealms.com/catalog/planet-strike_21#DOS #MIDI

DOOM E1M1 - At DOOMs Gate - Vir2 VI.ONE 32 MB General MIDI Ochre Cliffs 2020-06-30 | "At DOOM's Gate" from DOOM E1M1: Hangar played with the General MIDI bank from Vir2 Instruments' VI.ONE v1.1.VI.ONE v1.1 is a Kontakt sample library workstation containing 2,120 total NKI instruments (including 27 keyswitch versions of the orchestral instruments, 128 General MIDI melodic instruments, and 8 GS drumkits) plus 20 multis. The library is 13.6 GB when lossless NCW compressed, and the uncompressed size is 21.0 GB. The General MIDI samples are 24.4 MB when lossless NCW compressed (the uncompressed size is 31.5 MB), as they only make up a tiny fraction of the workstation's sample data. VI.ONE's price is US $99.95. I do not recommend purchasing VI.ONE solely for obtaining its mere 32 MB worth of GM sounds, as this is a workstation intended for composing original music rather than just General MIDI playback.This video is not affiliated with Vir2 Instruments or Big Fish Audio.Music composed by Robert Prince.

DOOM II Title and Map 5 Music - Ensoniq AudioPCI (8 MB Waveset) (Emulated) Ochre Cliffs 2018-10-26 | This is an AudioPCI re-recording done in high quality with emulation instead of a real VIBRA 128 card. Unfortunately, however, the emulation does have some timing issues that weren't present on the real card.0:00 - DOOM II Title0:18 - Map05 "DOOM"These two tracks demonstrate this card's unique sound. The DOOM II title has a cool synth "growl" effect at the end (Synth Strings 2), and the bass in Map 5 is dark and acidic (Synth Bass 2). Many GM synths and soundfonts do not play those instruments in that style (e.g., most GM banks typically have a "fat" sound for the Synth Bass 2 slot), with the exception of the original Roland SC-55 hardware.DOOM II's music was composed by Bobby Prince

Unfortunately, however, the emulation does have some timing issues that weren't present on the real card.Notice that some of the choir notes in E1M8 are missing completely. The same issue is present on the original hardware, so it is not a fault of the emulation.0:00 - Intro0:09 - E1M1 "At Doom's Gate"1:47 - E1M8 "Sign of Evil"DOOM's music was composed by Bobby Prince

Raptor - Wave 1 Music - Black Tyros GM SoundFont Ochre Cliffs 2018-10-24 | Well, this is unpleasant (the soundfont, not the MIDI song). The instruments' samples are too loud and shrill, to the point of audibly clipping.Reducing the soundfont's volume in CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth does not help much, as distortion/artifacts are present in the samples themselves (CoolSoft's volume was set to 100% for this video, to make it a fair comparison with the other soundfont recordings of this same track. The internal sample clipping is still noticeable even at 50% volume, particularly on the Charang).Now, I am really not trying to attack this soundfont or its creators. I am simply trying to give fair and honest feedback on how this soundfont sounds in CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth, especially since this is one of the only ones I've tried that has all the issues mentioned above.Edit: I have uploaded a recording with CoolSoft's soundfont volume set to 20% (the distortion is still there, but it's a little easier on the ears): youtu.be/_7QQ-et4BvcMusic composed by Matt Murphy

Bandstand's balance is so bad that the MIDI's individual note velocities would have to be modified in a fullblown sequencer to make the drums audible.That glitch at 1:27 is Bandstand attempting to, and failing to, play a gunshot sound. That happens every time the MIDI is played.Atomaders' music was composed by Vakhtang AdamiyaGame website: http://www.kraisoft.com/arcade-games/atomaders
