Better quality OST by LoganH0wlett at 12:38 PM EST on March 9, 2023
I may have found something interesting.

I remembered someone wanting to do a better quality rip of the samples and that some instruments were carried over to the DS titles(direct example: "Departure From The Beanbean Kingdom" being in BIS or PiT).

But the most interesting thing was that on the remake of SS, music tapes can be found with the soundtrack to be playable, and it also have the original versions in higher quality too.

Even if those can't be ripped as midi files, they could still be used as references as how the instruments were supposed to sound like.

So is there a single collection of peoples latest efforts in recreating this games music in MIDI that I can download? It looks like there's a lot of single track changes throughout this topic.

It also looks like the author of the title jumped the gun when saying it's complete, then including a Notes file stating some files don't work or are incorrect.

Actually... Im working on remastering the soundtrack using the previously ripped midis, and separating the channels by instrument, tho the program I'm using dont export the projects to midi as i expected, its some progress on having it done.

Also a thing I've noticed, many tracks have the channels 7 and 8 used by square waves(which the soundfont have the sample way too loud), but even with the track volumes set to 100, the notes themselves are set to quite low that on these remastering projects im doing i have to increase the output volume of these to 2,5db at least, just so everything of the songs are clear and heard.

Current progress on separating all of the soundtrack midi channels by instrument for a proper midi of them is 8 out of 51.

First troublesome midi done is the title screen one, having 3 misplaced notes of the fully drawbar organ channel, which I had to edit to fix that channel's length and note timing.

I've noticed that so far, the common issues with the "corrupted" tracks are mostly misplaced notes, tho I've only seen them on Gwarhar Lagoon's flute part, the whistle on the credits roll theme(which there are a LOT of, making the song last almost 4 times its actual time) and the title screen theme; while the only other issue is Bowser's Castle midi not having the slower tempo at the start and the tempo change, and the credits theme being slower than in-game.

After doing all the songs, I'll export them to midi, try to find a way to add loop points, and then finish the soundfont to go along with them, including the sound effects included on a previous wip on the thread.
