>>23267404Yeah! This actually works with almost any Piano you can find on Ninsheetmusic..!
Bespinben's MIDs are generally quite quiet, but that also happens to be one of the few formats that you can set VLC to past 100% volume without getting distortion at all, so it makes up for it.
>>23264877It definitely can be good. With full control over the soundfont, it becomes very similar to Module files. (.S3M, .IT, .MOD, .XM, etc...)
I think Nintendo still does this with some of their games. (The re-release of Wind Waker used MID AFAIK, and Explorers of Sky used it too.)
But the way it was abused to make versions of popular music before MP3s were widespread, particularly rock music, was and always will be terrible.
You need someone with some skill to make Midi sound good, and not simply convert riffs from some tab into a tracker and expect the result to even be passable, even if you have a decent synth.
