    Really cool MIDI player that turns any MIDI into piano

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    I found this really cool website that lets you drag a midi onto it and it shows a 3d virtual piano with falling blocks.  You can move it around.

     

    But the best thing is it seems to translate all midis into piano arrangements.

     

    I was trying it out with some ffx midis and was good fun.

     

    I wanted to let people know before the site disappears.

     


     

     

    To Zanarkand (Very Accurate)

    Note changes at 0:57 down to F# left hand instead of up to B, D.

    I took the MP3 from the soundtrack and put it through Amazing MIDI than viewed the MIDI in Synthesia, the notes that came out were slightly different to the official sheet music.

    I doubt there was much error as it kept the majority of the piece as the usual notes.

    I played it with the new notes and it sounds more accurate.

    This raises the question was the Nobuo Uematsu's original arrangement changed slightly by Masashi Hamauzu for the sheet music book?

    Why do many To Zanarkand versions such as Dissidia, Distant Worlds, Black Mages, Itadaki, FFX Chips all have these notes and not released sheet music.

    Last year Aerith's Theme achieved 16th in the hard-fought top 300 Classic FM Hall of Fame.

    Nobuo Uematsu's Aeris Theme beat the pants off Adagio for Strings, 1812 overture, the Four Seasons and others.

    Go to:

    and vote for you three favorite bits of orchestral video games music. Pieces have to be orchestral to count. Use one of your votes for ''Aerith's Theme'' as this will garantee something makes it in the chart.

    "Aerith's Theme" For Classic FM Hall of Fame‎

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    ''UK radio station Classic FM’s “Hall of Fame” runs a 300-strong list of the finest compositions as voted by the general public every year, but it doesn’t seem an orchestral video game theme has ever made it into the semi-prestigious collection: and that’s what this movement is trying to fix. Co-ordinated primarily through Facebook and Twitter, a gaming group is making efforts to push Nobuo Uematsu’s “Aerith’s Theme” from cult classic Final Fantasy VII into the Hall of Fame....... (full article)''

    I would have chosen One-Winged Angel but it looks like Aerith’s Theme was the choice. Everyone has to choose Aerith’s Theme so there is more of a chance of anything getting through.

    You actually have 3 choices (vote here). Mine are:

    Nobuo Uematsu - Aerith’s Theme (listen to it

    )

    Nobuo Uematsu - One-Winged Angel

    Nobuo Uematsu - Opera Maria and Draco

    Need Help: 100 Greatest Video Game Music for Orchestra

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    I have been listening to ''100 best film classics'' and 100 best opera, beethoven, concertos. and so on.

    I also noticed in a Classical Music forum they had top 200, 100 and 50 lists.

    I would like to put together a ''100 Greatest Video Game Music for Orchestra''. So that means any VGM for orchestra from soundtracks or albums.

    I will no doubt miss a lot out if it was up to me. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The order of he tracks doesn't matter it's just 100 greatest.

    I hope people can use this list as a quick way to hear the greatest vgm if they are new to it or like classical music and film music.
