Honestly, I'm extremely surprised by this. Even from just a few seconds in, I can tell that you put a lot of effort into it.

After listening to this, I can easily say that it sounds just like it would be in KA itself, dare I say sound better than the actual song from Kirby Super Star and Planet Robobot.

Sonic 2 - Secret Woods Zone Act 2 (Fan Remix)

Uses original in-game MIDI, arrangement made entirely with C700.

This came about from the incredibly half-baked idea of "what if THIS was arranged to be the Porky's Porkies equivalent of Pokey Means Business's Heavy Section???" 
I keep coming back to this idea, but always give up on it before getting anywhere because I already know the amount of planning, effort, and actual skill that I would need to pull off the 'PMB Heavy Section' arrange of Porkies like I want. The final product is literally never the "Porkies Mean Business" I have in mind.

Even with THIS I wanted to stick with exclusively PMB instruments. However, like most humans I'm obsessed with imitations that are as close as possible, and just ended up making the equivalent of a soundfont cover. Fuck off

At least this "attempt" bore some kind of fruit. It turned out pretty good, actually. In particular, the Rock Organ sounds great with these settings for the FIR Filter.
Like I alluded to earlier, I ended up importing the Rock organ, ride cymbal, a tom, and the Franky guitar, but for whatever reason couldn't bring myself to import the Crash Cymbal.

I was expecting translation to be a lot more of a headache, but to my immense satisfaction it ended up being rather streamlined. I was even able to *add* in new notes (to recreate the power chords) because of how the channels were originally handled. 
The trumpet and sax channels were barren outside of the two places you hear them for, and the intro trumpets were their own separate channels. I only needed to bring their notes over to 3 of the original channels and do stuff with the Events. Plus, thanks to BRSO Articulate I could use the already differing note colors to my strah-TEE-jik ad-VAN-tejj.
Rearranging the percussion was probably about the same amount of trouble, and for the most part it's because of the "cymbal" overlapping with other things. Of course because I just ended up using the Noise as a shitty stand-in it's not as big of a deal.

I like how, because I used the default hat in some places and included the Franky guitar, it ended up sounding more like EB. Not to mention, by coincidence the patches I chose for the brass are the same as the original Runaway Five songs'. Originally I went with them because I (rather hypocritically) didn't want to import too many new sounds.

Oops, I forgot to make the thumbnail... and left this sitting here unposted for like 3 hours.

Burst-In Rock 'n' Roll - Mother 3 (EarthBound Mix)

One of the more Legit classic MM boss themes, in the sense that it's a more fleshed out song, rather than a musically interesting but overly short little loop.

Mega Man 10 Boss (MMX Style)

Pipca reblogged a thing for this on twitter. Since she's been doing WL4 stuff recently it's kinda rekindled my interest in WL4 soundfont covers a bit, which I'm happy about.
Took me about 28 minutes to completely arrange in SynthFont using the sequence from m3_ulti_rip

[V3] Sonic 3&K - Marble Garden Zone Act 2 (Stardust Remix)

Revenge Of Meta Knight (Remix)

Vs. Meta Knight (Remix)

A track I made for some guy after I decided to answer music requests. I immediately regreted this decision since it was a real pain to create on that song. Anyway I still tried to put my best inspiration into it. Hope you enjoy it though :)

** About the cover **
Greetings!

An arrangement of one of my favorite pieces, by one of my favorite video game composers, Jun Ishikawa! Many great tracks can be found in Kirby Super Star, but I thought I'd give this one a run. I decided to transcribe and add the original theme from Metaknight's Revenge opening at the beginning : )

The mix sounds good, but took a while to combine the sound worlds created by ensembles. I will revisit the mix for this piece in the future and upload a revised version to my SoundCloud page.

Unfortunately I don't have anything transcribed to tabs or a score, as everything was performed from memory!

Please enjoy!

Welp i finally remembered how to make a song! (kinda). I wanted to give a gift to a friend for his birthday so i made this song based on him and he gave it a name. I'll be posting VGM songs often while im working on the Prog Album. Hope you enjoy it!
