An original track from my album MIDI: The Catalogue (coming very soon!). It's a nice slow build with a sense of melancholy.
No .ogg download because the soundfont has potential copyright issues. I may upload a replacement later. If you would like to record it yourself, I recommend the Arachno Soundfont or EmperorGrieferus's SC-55 soundfont.

I believe there are some licensing concerns with the SC-55 soundfont. Because there is a high liklihood the soundfont was ripped without proper license, any derivatives or tracks created with it may be subject to copyright trouble. Until we have more information about the license/usability of the soundfont, I must mark this submission as having a licensing issue. Please let me know if you have questions or information to share.EDIT: Fixed, thanks! :)
Would it be sufficient to remove the OGG and FLAC downloads to fix this issue? I really don't want to go to the trouble of re-recording it with Fluid or TimGM, because I don't like how those sound
To be honest I uploaded a lot more tracks with this soundfont over the years, and just didn't think to mention it til now. Ultimate MIDI Pack was recorded with a physical Roland SC-88, and The Epic Adventure is non-MIDI, but the rest of my account probably uses a problematic soundfont...
Yes, because the MIDI doesn't feature the content of the soundfont itself, the MIDI file can remain. Using the physical roland SC-88 or other physical media is fine since it is not a ripped soundfont.
However, this affects all other submissions using a ripped soundfont. Are you able to list each such submission that might have used troublesome soundfonts?EDIT: Fixed, thanks! :)
Yes, all of these use EmperorGrieferus SC-55:
This one uses Arachno Soundfont: https://opengameart.org/content/gods-of-trance
And I think this one uses a SNES rip: https://opengameart.org/content/let-the-battles-begin
Rest should be safe (there were a couple that I didn't mention before that also use a physical SC-88, or Musescore-General which is free)
Thank you for your thourough list and understanding. Any of the aforementioned submissions where the track can be replaced/removed or left just as .mid can be restored. I appreciate you sharing your work and I am sorry we didn't realize this was possible trouble sooner.
I believe I have fixed all of them. (Removed OGGs and FLACs for most of them, and uploaded the SC-88 recordings I had.)
https://opengameart.org/content/the-invisible-gardenerhttps://opengameart.org/content/let-the-battles-begin andhttps://opengameart.org/content/elytraappear unchanged still.Allothers arerestored.EDIT: Fixed, thanks! :)
Updated those. I swear I got to them before, maybe I just forgot to click "save".
invisible gardener and elytra are fixed. https://opengameart.org/content/let-the-battles-begin appears to be a MuseScore file. Is that what it should be?
Yep, that's intentional. Back then I wasn't really making MIDIs, I just thought of it as sheet music.
Does the MuseScore file embed audio samples or soundfont information?
I'm pretty sure it doesn't. If I open it in MuseScore it just uses my default samples. I made it several years ago. so I could have forgotten something, but I doubt that the me of several years ago knew how to embed samples in a MuseScore file.
Groovy. Then they're all fixed. Thanks!
