[Released] Ultimate MIDI Pack - A community music replacement for the original Doom

[continuum.mid]

Updated the ZIP with @TheUltimateDoomer666's excellent new intermission music. I also added three placeholders for the remaining duplicates - two are from Freedoom and one was made by me for that project - thus making this fully functional as a duplicate-replacing MIDI pack for now. These Freedoom tracks obviously don't fit the maps nearly as well as a track designed for them would, so I hope to see more slots claimed, particularly E2M7, E2M9, E3M1, and E3M7.

 

Enjoy!

Hi again! Going to clear some stuff out in the next couple days that should enable me to get some good work done on this project. I think I'll snatch up E2M9 and E3M7, if you'd have me!

They're yours, and I think you will make something great! As I'm sure you noticed, these are the last claims needed to open up the Thy Flesh Consumed tracks. I'm not ready right at this moment but I'll make another post shortly announcing that.

 

I'm also changing the rules to allow a single contributor to claim up to six slots total in the MIDI pack, since three seems a little restrictive in comparison to previous projects. There is still a limit of three claims at a time so as to prevent someone from snatching up every slot at once and never finishing the tracks.

[continuum.mid]

And with that, it's time to get started on Milestone 2. The Episode 4 maps are all now open for new MIDIs, along with D_INTRO, D_INTROA, and D_VICTOR.

 

@Peter @Cammy you are now free to claim E4M6; @STILES you are now free to claim D_VICTOR.

[Diabolución]

I post I am really glad there will be, eventually, a replacement for Chiron / And Hell Followed, and I leave the thread alone.

[TheUltimateDoomer666]

I would like to claim E3M6: Mt. Erebus and E4M8: Unto the Cruel.

Sure, looking forward to your submission!

I'd like to claim E4M2: Perfect Hatred if it's available.

It is! You can have it as long as you get back to me in under two weeks.

Will do!

Excellent! I'd appreciate seeing the draft MIDI file for your track, but if not you have two weeks to show me some more progress

[leejacksonaudio]

Um ... is there room for another person here on the project? If there is, I'd like to get in on E4M4, if it's still available.

I'd be honored to have you involved in this! E4M4 is still available, so I have reserved it for you.

I'm pretty sure at this point, we'll get TNT midi pack in the next 3 months

There is actually a TNT MIDI pack in progress, though the announcement thread hasn't gone up yet. Don't know how long development should be expected to take, though.

holy shi-

[continuum.mid]

Updated the ZIP with @Cammy's new E2M9 MIDI, which is excellent, as one might expect from him. I also added eight Freedoom tracks to serve as placeholders for Episode 4's music. Enjoy!

Also, decided to quickly throw something together myself for D_INTROA, because I suspect not many other people will want that slot; it only plays for a few seconds if OPL playback is used and some ports don't honor it at all. 

 

Edit: Bloo has also submitted an old, but unreleased track of his that will be used for E4M3.

 

They will be in the next ZIP release.

I'd like to claim E4M5 and E1M9, if possible.

Wow, lots of people joining in the last couple of days. It's like I announced the pack all over again!

 

Anyway, they are yours! Looking forward to the MIDIs.

[continuum.mid]

ZIP updated with two new MIDIs: my own replacement for D_INTROA, and a new track by @Bloo that is tentatively being used for E4M3. ultimidi-0.0.6.zip

 

I'm really looking forward to the next two weeks, because a whole bunch of great musicians have signed up!

[Diabolución]

It seems like this project engaged the turbo mode.

This was his first post, literally.

[continuum.mid]

Claiming D_INTRO for myself to go along with D_INTROA. Going to start with a riff similar to my D_INTROA and probably include some quotes from the original Doom's soundtrack later on.

E4M3 Sever the Wicked - "Good Luck" by Bloo Note: This MIDI was submitted for no map in particular, but I thought it would fit best for E4M3. If you have a better idea for this map's MIDI, you are free to submit it.

 

I would assign Good Luck to either E1M1 or E2M3, preferably the former. I think said MIDI is really fitting for a short introductory map, whereas it might become repetitive and knackering for a relatively long map, such as E4M3.

Good point, I'll listen to it with those maps and see how it sounds.

 

Edit: I think I prefer to use it for E2M3. I would want something a little more unique (and short) for E1M1. I chose E4M3 at first because it gets straight into the action, though I think that map's MIDI should ideally have some more variety in instrumentation.

I've reserved it for you, looking forward to what you make!

 

For everyone else: If someone claims E4M3 and E4M9, I can open up the rest of the tracks very soon!

[continuum.mid]

I've updated the ZIP again with not one or two, but three new MIDIs: my own track for D_INTRO, @TheUltimateDoomer666's E3M6, and @Lippeth's E4M5. This project has indeed engaged turbo mode, and I'm expecting to see more MIDIs in the next few days. Enjoy!

[continuum.mid]

Updated the ZIP again with @Bloo's MIDI for E1M7, bringing the project closer to the Milestone 1 release. Feedback is welcome!
