This music, "Introduction & Map Medley", covers the introduction and map themes from Super Mario World, a game developed by Nintendo and released on the Super Nintendo (aka. Super Famicom) by Nintendo in 1990. <br />It's not the original music from the game, but a selection of MIDI files composed by Erik, Sword-Bolt, The Ultimate Koopa, Mark Jansen, Daniel Lippert, The King Samon & JILost, from the original soundtrack by Koji Kondo. <br /> <br />The purpose of this video is to demonstrate that MIDI files can actually sound very good when played with a nice synthesizer. <br />Here, I used the free CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth SoundFont-compatible software synthesizer (http://coolsoft.altervista.org) under Synthesia (http://www.synthesiagame.com) to reproduce a MIDI file using Arachno SoundFont, a custom General MIDI SoundFont bank I designed for my Sound Blaster Live! soundcard. <br />My bank features many famous sounds from the best synthesizers by Roland (D-50, Sound Canvas...), Korg (M1, X5...), Yamaha (MU, Clavinova...), Fairlight (CMI), E-MU (Emulator), Ensoniq... <br /> <br />The audio track has been recorded straight from Synthesia and CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth using my Arachno SoundFont bank and the MIDI file, dry, without any added effects. <br />Arachno SoundFont, as well as MP3 and OGG versions of this recording can be downloaded for free on my website, at http://www.arachnosoft.com <br /> <br />The screenshots used in the video come from the "Super Mario World complete Walkthrough" by TTDLX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqturoCh5lM <br /> <br />Used to think that MIDI music was ugly? Think again! <br />Any questions, comments or remarks will be appreciated!!
