My Enhanced Game MIDI collection consists of MIDI files I sequenced and routed through my Yamaha Motif ES8 keyboard, utilising its rather nice-sounding General MIDI samples. The staff view was played with Cakewalk Express and the presentation was recorded with CamStudio. All instruments use the standard MIDI patches unless otherwise noted. To follow the notes in the sequence and to ensure the best sound quality, viewing full screen in 720p (HD) is strongly advised.

This sinister march can be heard while venturing in the castle of Lord Exdeath (X-Death) in Final Fantasy V.  In 1998, I sequenced the basic MIDI by request for the home page of a classic RPGamer regular.  Nearly 15 years later, I noticed the composition could sound good with a snare, so I added one without intention to keep it.  However, I liked the new drumline to the point where I wanted to implement it.  So, to create a fuller arrangement, a sorprano flute and synthetic choir were added along with the snare after the first loop.
