I've not been this chilled on soundcloud in a long while :D

This will be a specialised collection of Peach's Enhanced Game MIDIs, with arrangements and remixes in top priority.

Peach's Enhanced Game MIDIs Select

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 ditty plays while displaying the Continue, Save, and Retry options screen if Link is killed.  Originally, this MIDI was written in 1998 and featured as an official part of Zelda Classic, a fan-made game supporting custom quests.  For its enhancement, the simple melody just begged for an accompaniment-bolstered arrangement to make it more unique, rather than just a truncated version of the ending theme.  What resulted is a lullaby complete with harp bass lines derived from Evan's piano practice in Majora's Mask and the game over tune from Four Swords.  You can hear the new content after the first loop.

A Moment of Innocence (Seiken Densetsu 3 - Innocent Sea Remix)

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.

Near Christmas of 1998, I wanted to create a Christmas remix for VGMusic fans in the spirit of the season.  Kakariko Village was a practical source for me and I played with some ideas, such as sleigh bells and bell instruments to accompany beautiful strings.  The original MIDI disappeared from VGMusic since, but it made its way onto various MIDI sites over the years.

For this enhancement, my goal was to improve on the sound without damaging the compositional integrity of the classic remix.  There is a rustic charm about it that I want others to recognise if they ever heard the old MIDI.  Some additions, such as a cello that follows the bassline of the strings ensemble and a flute that follows the melody during the repeat, should accomplish those goals.  Merry Christmas!

[NOTE: Many may think that the original MIDI was written by a user named after the Hylian hero, but considerable evidence exists proving that I am the author of the seasonal remix.  See example below.

This medley featuring overworld music around Timber's Island was originally five separate Diddy Kong Racing MIDIs in 1998.  It seemed appropriate to combine them, since they all use the same base.  The singing children could not be mimicked properly (especially with general MIDI samples), so it was replaced with a vox.  Does anyone else wish there were a variation of this song associated with Future Funland?

The beach and "The Salty Hippo" (pirate ship) themes of this medley of the second world of Banjo-Kazooie were sequenced in 1998.  I added the third part, the outdoors underwater theme, in 2003.  Polishing this piece was a challenge, especially the kalimba, which sounds distinctly different compared to the in-game sample.  A little known fact about Treasure Trove Cove is that the original song during development was quite different (see below).

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.
