My Enhanced Game MIDI collection consists of MIDI files I sequenced and routed through my Yamaha Motif ES8 keyboard, utilising its rather nice-sounding General MIDI samples. The staff view was played with Cakewalk Express and the presentation was recorded with CamStudio. All instruments use the standard MIDI patches unless otherwise noted. To follow the notes in the sequence and to ensure the best sound quality, viewing full screen in 720p (HD) is strongly advised.

The beach and "The Salty Hippo" (pirate ship) themes of this medley of the second world of Banjo-Kazooie were sequenced in 1998. I added the third part, the outdoors underwater theme, in 2003. Polishing this piece was a challenge, especially the kalimba, which sounds distinctly different compared to the in-game sample. A little known fact about Treasure Trove Cove is that the original song during development was quite different (see below).
