DOOM soundtrack played back on a Roland MT-32!

DOOM's music was not written to be played on an MT-32, so it can sound odd or even funny at times. As the MT-32 will only play MIDI channels 2-10 (or 1-8 and 10), often times instruments are missing entirely. There is a utility created by Roland themselves that remaps the MT-32 to GM (General MIDI) that will make GM music (such as the DOOM soundtrack) sound more accurate on the MT-32, but where's the fun in that? This recording is from my MT-32 with the default mapping and sounds, with the only change being I set it to use MIDI channels 1-8 and 10 instead of the default 2-10.
