Launch Base Act 1 (Prototype) MIDI - More info in the description!
140This MIDI was converted from the SMPS files inside the ROM using ValleyBell's tools!
100% accurate to the SMPS commands inside the ROM. The original Sonic & Knuckles collection MIDI is full of errors, so I ignored that version.
I've done this to investigate some garbage notes present on the PSG channels. They are short beeps aligned to the beat, so their placement seems intentional!
As an experiment I've shifted them from the PSG channels to the drum track and they appear to be some extra drums!\n\nIf you listen to ACT 2 they used these drums in the same way!
So I guess it's one more mystery solved :)
\nAh, one more thing. Did you guys notice the actual proto song has the long notes play twice on the lead channel? Apparently there's a limit on how long a note can be and to make it longer you have to place a max length note and another one after it with a special flag to join both notes. LB doesn't have the flag set on said instances, so Valleybell added them by hand :).
We think the original tracks were in MIDI form and the midi converter didn't add them (and they didn't bother fixing it on the proto). By the time SK collection was made the original midis were probably lost and they had to retranscribe them all from the demos.
