I mean if it gets enough supports and an album does suffice I’d be happy to MIDIfy the entire OST. Takes me no time at all.

It already happened:

http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC321
 
But the game music still needs more love. An album should be even more awesome, but that's too much to ask.
Problem is that the MIDI's are impossible to remix.
 

Forgot about this bug (2019 dates are changed to 2021 when I edit a round, this round started in 2019).
It's fixed now, thanks for posting.

Damn.  I think we know who's keeping this scene alive.  It's gonna be a cold, dark day when TVG moves on T_T
EDIT
PRC - PRC402
This compo will begin in on 12/23/21

Right, here we go! Sorry it took so long, i had to find the right source, to make a MIDI out of, plus as well i had stuff on in real life. But in the end i made it. Not an easy source. Harder than i initially thought, but it's here nonetheless. Enjoy folks! Hopefully theres still time to get remixes in.

Oh man, I really hope someone does something from NES Godzilla!!

Yes.

Yes, that's the one. All requests in that thread are allowed, except for those which are created after the start of this round (to avoid that people are gonna post requests and remix those to enter).
The sources on the list are examples, WereTech requested Dracula Castle Cathedral / Meeting Dracula - Castlevania Legends in january 2019 so that's a possible source for this round. Of course, remixing one source is enough, there won't be a bonus for mixing more sources. It's also allowed to look further back and remix a source which has been requested in the Request Thread years ago.

Round extended with two days (till Friday) to give people some time to remix it with this MIDI.

Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes)
MIDI: https://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/MnP109_Super_Monkey_Ball_Banana_Blitz_-_Smooth_Sherbert.mid
Deadline: Jan 29th Wed @ 1 PM
Vote Ends: Jan 31st Fri @ 1 PM
MnP ARCHIVE  - made by Trism
submit: https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MnP109

MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.

MnP Instructions/Guidelines
Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted. Most or all of the source notes must be present (but not necessarily in the exact same order), secondly the mood (energy, pacing, feelings being conveyed etc) should also be retained. For example, a source tune that is fast-paced and energetic that's remixed into a mellow/chill-out theme would be a hard sell. If you decide to do a genre swap (i.e. symphonic to techno), make sure that the conditions of #2 are met. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. Please don't make any comments about people's entries - including your own - until the Voting process is concluded.  BONUS entries are exempt of this rule. Same rules for PRC voting Stage: don't vote for yourself, be considerate and try to give reasonable feedback as to why you liked X or Y entry.  All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and Conduct
MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl's lives easier.
- In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

Next round is up!
 

Yes, I've thought about getting V-drums or something similar, but I don't have the room or the budget for them right now. I have an acoustic kit that I'm considering selling to replace with electronic drums, but I'm kind of hesitant about it. 
I've demoed electronic drum kits for years and they've only recently gotten to the point where they can reliably pick up every note I play, from fast loud rolls to the softest of ghost note rolls. The cheapest kit I've found that can register every note is the Alesis Crimsonkit 2 ($1200 retail), but if I really wanted to go electronic I'd probably spring for an upgrade to something higher-tier. 

Results
TheVideogamer got 1st with 9 points.  Congradurations.  Silverpool64 got 2nd with 6 points.  Good effort. TheVideogamer, please PM me the source pick for round 109.  Pick something wintery, if possible. 
Comments
Apologies on the delay, thanks for submitting your bonus vote Seth and for submitting a bonus entry.  And good to see you back silverpool64. 
Silverpool64 vote/comment.  Though points not applied since only 2 entries.
I don't know how many times I've tried to vote, but it keeps giving me a white screen. Here is my vote for MnP108 in case my other one didn't submit.
Also, thank you for hosting the MnP compos. Without MnP and PRC, I probably wouldn't make music as often as I do.

TheVideoGamer: I'm seeing ways I can improve my ReMix as I listen to yours, mainly how the instruments fit well with each other.
I like the key change!
SethSkoda: I really like the chiptune take! Did you use any special hardware or did you use plug-ins?

I've got an Akai MIDI keyboard and it's less than stellar. In fact it's currently gathering dust on a shelf as it seems to have bricked itself somehow.

I Second That!

They *are* velocity sensitive. They just do a poor job. I have to hit them harder than I’d like to trigger them at all, and if I hit them just a bit harder than that I’m maxing them out. Consistent hits seem to register anywhere in the 90-120 range with little rhyme or reason. Again, all of the akai finger pads I’ve tried are like this.
I’ll tell you what has good pads, at least for my tapping style, and that’s the m-audio code keyboards. I don’t have one (and I’ve read a lot about build quality/longevity issues with them), but I got to demo one once for a couple of hours and it was heavenly.

Cool!  Thanks for the update.  Here's to hoping we see FBRC in Summer. 

Fingers. I think sticks would destroy them pretty quickly, hah.
I got mine used for something like $60-80 delivered. I can't remember exactly. I've also demoed new units and the pads built into akai keyboard controllers and they also have the same issues.

There is a plan to bring back FBRC (and Doubles Dash) once we have a system that will facilitate it better. Honestly, I think from an administrative position we could really knock it out of the park this time around. That said: FBRC is typically held during the summer time to avoid holidays and obligations (that is, back when we were all young enough for that to matter). 2020 seems like a good year to bring it back, but I wouldn't do it until July/August.

The pads themselves suck. For one thing, I get a bunch of double hits (common problem with akai pads - Google it for more info). Even worse is they do not do a good job of capturing my performances, so I have to edit a bunch of note velocities afterwards.
The pads only record midi data.
The sounds come from Superior Drummer, which I agree sounds great.
