MFG38's MIDI Master Thread

[MFG38]

A select few of you may know that I'm somewhat of a musician, having made music as a hobby for the past 8 years or so. However, even fewer people probably know that I've also composed my fair share of MIDIs. And I figured that now if ever is a good time to share that portion of my creative misadventures with the Doom community.

 

Now, I have shared my MIDIs prior on the Doom MIDI Repository site, but I thought it might be a good idea to create this thread to promote them outside of the site to those who don't know about its existence. Below, you'll find links to all the places where my MIDIs presently live, along with .zip files containing all of them in one neat package. I've also provided a list of all MIDIs with some brief descriptions of each one (see bottom-most link in the list). I'll do my best to keep this thread updated and may also post "alerts" whenever a new MIDI by Yours Truly appears.

Thanks for sharing your tunes.

Thanks! Always happy to hear that someone likes my tunes. c:

 

As far as soundfonts go, I generally compose my MIDIs with Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth in mind, so they sound best on that. To my knowledge, MSGS is based on the Roland SC-55 soundset, so an SC-55 soundfont should play the MIDIs close to the intended sound. I can't vouch much for other soundfonts - while these can sound decent on some soundfonts, the bass sounds on a lot of them are way too loud in comparison to MSGS in my experience.

You're halfway correct. MSGS is a mixture of SC55 and SC88.
