What I've done here is taken the midi data from the original Secret of Monkey Island Theme by Michael Land, dropped it in my DAW, and replaced the sounds with virtual instruments instead of general midi. This is a note-accurate cover of the Monkey Island theme and is in fact Michael Land's original Midi performance and sequence data, I've just replaced the sounds and mixed the track The virtual instruments I've used to cover this theme music are:

Adam Monroe's Beats (Rimshot, Bassdrum)
Adam Monroe's Upright Bass (Bass)
Adam Monroe's Rotary Organ (Percussive Organ)
Spitfire Percussion (Bongo, Conga, Marimba, Xylophone)
Spitfire Woodwinds (Flute, Bassoon)
Spitfire Harp
Arturia Matrix 12 (Synth Intro)
8dio Steel Drum (Steel Pan Drums)

Sometimes, instead of properly covering a music theme I will just take the original midi data and update the sounds. I do this when I want to hear the original theme but with higher quality sounds instead of general midi. I might cover the Monkey Island theme sometime in the future, but it will likely just be a piano transcription.

Monkey Island is one of the most iconic classic adventure computer games of all time. It was released in 1990 and still holds up today. I first played the game as a child. If you haven't played Monkey Island and you are even slightly into gaming you should check it out.

I claim no copyright for this music, the original music copyright presumably belongs to Michael Land and possibly Disney now controls the rights to it.
