YES! This is how it should have been done.

original is Flying from the LG S5100
you can listen to it HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHXBCMHK09s

this ringtone is funny so i did a cover (YM2612+SN76489)

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)

A surf rock style arrangement of On The Beach from Yoshi's Story!

Yoshis On The Beach - Yoshi's Story [Fanmade Smash Remix]

This one was pretty fun to make, since the instruments are from one of my favorite games, Super Mario World. As many of the tracks from the game, this one has the main motif as well, but I added some new stuff to it. Honestly I think it would fit very well in an ice level. Hope you enjoy!

#PressStart is an arrangements album, with original compositions made with samples from popular and classic games.

Do you think a part is too long in a song? Just change the time signature of that part exclusively!

Mega Man IV - Wily Station (Based Edition) [2A03, 0CC-FamiTracker]

An XG sequence I got from this .zip I found by searching up "ffvii official midi sequences". After the first round of inserting effects and instruments, I had to have the master around 58% or something. Eventually I imported the audio for j-e-n-o-v-a (god i hate typing that) into FL, to get a more accurate sound. As part of that I tried to bring over the mixing and reverb settings you hear in the real tune. By the time I was finished, I was able to have the Master Fader at 100% :)
