Midis and Games

[Obsidantion]

Hi, I put up this post in the OT-Creativity thread and interrupted a discussion about someone's artwork by mistake because I didn't read the thread but I didn't disturb it thankfully.
Anyway, I wanted to start a new thread with it because feedback would be cool.
The content is music composition and programming.

I've made some midis with "Midi Maker", thought I would post on here.

Most of them aren't complete tunes.

Oh and here is a compilation of two games I've programmed with Visual Basic;
Minesweeper and Tetris. The graphics are poor, sorry!

The rar was corrupt for me.
Midi is cool, I have a library of old midis Ive ripped from many of my old favourite games.
I found many of the midis a little repetive, but I really liked 4, 6 and 13. I think they would sound so much better if you could map them with samples or VSTs, some of the instruments are really annoying.

Thanks for the comments. Do you know how I might map the midis with other samples like you suggested? I've been trying but to no avail.

Im no expert on it, I have just been playing with it when I had access to the software, but you need some sort of sequencing software like Cubase or Cakewalk. Then you need some virtual instruments (VSTs) or samples. I have been playing around with Cubase and some orchestral VSTs and it really sounds amazing, almost like a real orchestra.

Here is a tune I made with Cubase and Edirol Orchestral VST:

I dont know if there is any free sequencing software, youll have to search around.

Wow, excellent, I have Cubase SE but I haven't figured out that function yet. I should get on it.
Great tune as well!
Thanks for the info.
