Something Unreal

Should be named “Whole Synth Freezes Over”.

This is the Roland Sound Canvas 88Pro trying to play this ludicrous adaptation of Yukari and Ran Yakumo‘s themes, “Necrofantasia” and “Necro-Fantasy” (from the game Touhou 07: Perfect Cherry Blossom).

There are over 166,000 notes in this MIDI file, and their speed peaks at over 3x the bandwidth of MIDI hardware, which results in inevitable playback slowdowns, but the synth has its own additional troubles and becomes totally unresponsive.

The MIDI file (not created by me) can be downloaded from here.

I finally got around to recording the MIDI music from Touhou 07: Perfect Cherry Blossom playing on my old FM MIDI synth tonight. You can find MP3s of them with the other Touhou FM MIDI recordings, here.

I intend to record the Touhou 06: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil MIDIs next.
