So yeah, either have it fully rendered as an ogg, or make it/them into tracker modules. You can even use different samples for the various instruments, if you're not satisfied by what MPT uses by default (again, you shouldn't be). It'll be a bit bigger than a mid file, but still less than an ogg or mp3. I'd also agree with using a tracker module format, even if you don't want to hand-convert notes, for example, OpenMPT can import midi, and save it (with instruments) as a module. As an sf2 file, this has such a speciality that my Polyphone SoundFont editor cant specify the actual instrument preset numbers since those are located in.

I agree that with most soundcards, one needs to resort to software rendering, but depending on the renderer, the sound will vary.

Whether one prefers PC Speaker, Tandy, AdLib, GUS or SB patches, or a Hardware soundbank like Roland SC-88 had it, is really subjective. so you can't rely on a mid file having the same mixing level across soundfonts or patches.ДЄlso, older soundcards used FM synthesis for sounds. Proper MIDI support is iffy, not only because the actual soundbanks have exactly zero to do with MIDI itself, but also because some companies had proprietary extension messages (Yamaha XG, Roland GS, also incompatible) that aren't emulated by nigh anything (not that that many files even use those, mind you).ДЄlso, even GM (General MIDI, or at least MPU-401 compatible) doesn't define what note 'velocity' is.

If you want small music files that badly, consider using module tracker formats, most common being those of impulse tracker, modplug tracker and fast tracker 2. Choosing midi over waveform formats just for file size is a poor decision, especially now that soundcard manufacturers don't bother anymore with proper midi support, oftentimes you can't get midi to play at all, not without resorting to software rendering. brr samples (addmusick has them) and use the C700 vst. wav format and use a sampler, download a soundfont (.sf2) on the internet (although the most popular one is kinda shitty), or get the original. you can either get the original samples in. It comes bundled with a variety of chiptune-like sound generators.Raidho36 wrote:Well yeah sounds are data-heavy, you'll just have to deal with it. alternatively any respectable music program (DAW) will work just fine too (fl studio, openmpt, etc).

The plan is to check the wildmidi.cfg file, if the first thing it reads is the file path to a soundfont then we have unsf create a configuration file for us and extract/convert the SF into a GUS Patch on the fly for use by WildMIDI. If you like more GBA or NES sounds, there's a soft for this too: LMMS. Once this is finished, we can use this in WildMIDI to support SF2. I think the one bundled in Anvil Studio may do the trick. Software-wise, there are the SF2 thingys maxodex has mentioned, I don't know whether a SNES pack exists. You need patience to decipher the midi of whatever you need to port.

The difficulty level takes a hike when you try to emulate foreign instrumentations. I started at last October and now I've got somewhat decent.

Learning how to port isn't so hard by my experience. If I may add, if you want to stay true to SMW and the marioverse, you can teach yourself the Mario-specific composition style (video) and use only the built-in samples. So many hours of sweaty work summed up in two sentences.
