Burning Rubber modern midi :)

[Gryzor]

I didn't know that Burning Rubber was released for the Atari ST! Anyhow, I was pointed to a nice collection of midi files created by converting the original ST tunes and I thought, hm, these could benefit from some nice, modern soundfonts!


So I did them.


You can listen to two versions of Burning Rubber, with two different soundfonts, give it a listen if you want

I love it. Although it is damn hard lol!

I was curious about the ST version, but alas haven't found a youtube video of it yet.

As to the midi files, I'm afraid they're awful renditions of the tune (which is why I was curious if they sound like that on the ST), the latter half of the tune in particular has been utterly butchered by the conversion process.

I love Amstrad CPC's Burnin Rubber music, hence why i prefered not saying anything on these versions

i thought that burnin rubber was a cpc exclusive cart ?

Not bad!


I do like the versions, though the sound of the original tune is unmatched

Ditto.
Fantastic tune. Not represented well here.

Totally different Ocean game for the ST and Amiga. IIRC they reused the logo and I assume the ST version must have used the CPC tune.


But it is a totally different game. It has nothing to do with the CPC version.


And that MIDI version is beyond bad. But then again most MIDI music sounds like a 15 quid Casio keyboard playing in demo mode.

It was. Ocean confused things by releasing an ST and Amiga game with the same name a little while later. They even reused parts of the cover artwork. But it is a totally different game.

I just listened. There is a timing issue instruments after 1:20 I think. Otherwise, the CPC + version is much less soft. MIDI was a sound way too smooth. But good try !!! I love burnin rubber game and mathew canon song
