Heh, yet another Jazz 1 midi, this time of the boss music. As always with midi’s you can’t play them in JJ2! You need Media Player or something similar to play them.
And midi’s sound different on each player, depending on the midi driver you’re using (I’m using the Microsoft GS Wavetable)

Anyway, this midi is very true to the original, tempo, melody and beat are all preserved. It’s useless for a level, but it still provides listening pleasure. Next time I’d like to hear some echoes and louder instruments.

Verdict? Download recommended, especially if you love the music of Jazz 1, but don’t have the .s3m versions.

It’s quite okay, but I’d prefer the guitar to be a bit higher and use gunshot instead of orchestra hit. I’ll try to give a rating and bigger review later.

Hmm, it’s not a bad remix, but there aren’t too much things, just a pitch effect and some hit effects, but not bad. It’s better than the original I think, but the changes are too less for a good remix, it’s just a little edit, but no problem with it. I’ll give you 4 because the few changes…

To clear a few things up:

- I made this MIDI using Microsoft GS Wavetable. Strangely, this is the only MIDI library on the sound card that came with my Compaq, which I’m pretty sure is recent.

- The orchestra hit is used at 1:11 because I could not find any instrument that sounded like what it normally does in Tubelectric.

Edit: Sonictth, I am not lying. Are you saying nobody is skilled enough to make a midi conversion such as this, or that Robert Allen wrote Tubelectric? I did give credit to Robert Allen for writing the original Tubelectric, but I myself did write this MIDI conversion.[This review has been edited by Acid]

Woah! The compact form of MIDI and the 1337ness of Jazz in one package!

Anyways, review:

Since the MIDI system changes with different computers, sometimes this MIDI will sound rux0r (If, for example, you use a sound card from 1995 (AWE64 FOREVEA!)), and other times, it will sound like complete crap (If, for example, you’re running the Windows XP Midi Mapper). In leiu of this, do NOT use my review as a guide for downloading this MIDI. Only read it for your ameusement ONLY.

Nice job, although at 1:11, the orchestra hit sounded weird and did not follow-through, like the hit in Tubelectric. Also, some of the notes were a note lower or a note higher then usual.

Rating : N/A, for obvious reasons.

Waits for Bjarni to come in and complain that it doesn’t work with JJ2

Nice conversation, and good instrument using. It’s really similar than the original, and it’s a good thing, because it’s just a midi. Yes, I think the begining of this track is a little empty, but it’s by that, because the bass havent got too long sound, and I think this track would be better with a “longer” bass instrument, but it’s only stange in the first few seconds of the track. Oh, and the good thing is, some of the JJ Fan Game makers can easily use this midi in game maker.
Good work, AcId! =)

(I don’t understand, why everybody complaining about non j2b formats. “It can’t works with JJ2…” USE WINAMP! It works with midi and module files too, for listen.)

A nice midi. At the 1:12 minute, you hear a sound, that actually doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the song.

After that, it sounds a little strange… And after that, the main sound continues, and that sounds okay.

I don’t really like the beginning of the song, because it just. Stops. Jelze said that already :P

But an nice song.

Stares at the striked text by Cooba Only j2l (level) works xP? Multiple things work. Look at the “JCS” section of j20. JJ2 can use alot more than only j2b ;)

Midi won’t work with levelsw.

Ok, just let me clear this up: Robert Allen wrote the music for JJ1, Alexander Brandon wrote it for JJ2. First came Robert, then Alex. :p

Whoever thinks this is the very first midi of Jazz Jackrabbit to be released, guess again. www.vgmusic.com has a couple of Jazz midis in the DOS and Windows section (of HH94 bonus, Tubelectric, Medivo and Pezrox). See for yourself :p

Now, a general note about midis: how it sounds like depends on the midi driver you’re using. Each midi driver has its own set of instruments. Change driver = change instruments played in the midi (I’m using Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth).

The midi itself doesn’t sound to bad, tho I’ve heard better. The main problem with this song is that the instrument just… stop in an instant, as in beep. Having them fade out at some places would have been a better choice. Also, the instuments chosen don’t exactly fit the choatic nature of Tubelectric. The melody is intact however, as well as the tempo.

Verdict:
A faithfull adaption of Tubelectric, it’s just a shame it didn’t have better sounding instruments. However it’s a nice try and deserves recognition, considering you don’t see Jazz midi’s all around the web.

P.S. If there’s anything I can’t stand it’s “I’ll review it later”. What’s the point in saying that? If you’re gonna review it later, then don’t post a review at all!
P.P.S. To all the newbies out there, JJ2 can not play midi’s in-game. You need something like MediaPlayer if you want to hear it.[This review has been edited by JelZe]

Hehe, Tubelectric ambient mix… It could be good…

Beggining of song is atypical. There are normal tubelectric background melodies, yes, but there is third line, ambient, dreamy, nice, soft sample… Disadvantage is that it’s that best part of whole song.

Then come omgily high placed strings, little bit offtuned, too, that hurts my ears.

Samples are average, whole song is too slow in comparation with it’s rhythm. Also, it’s a bit repetitive, and in combination with slow tempo it’s just… bad…

(+) Very good beggining
(-) Slow tempo
(-) Repetitive
(-) Very high placed lead strings

Someone will like this piece, someone not. I will not say if download or not, but you should at least try it, if you have free time…

What the heck..?

I will not write a lot, there’s nothing much to tell about.

Just random resample pack, no song from pack is better than original. Firstly it’s because of poor sample quality, secondly about that it’s detuned, next reason is in that it’s totally randomly sampled. Just take samples and put it there.

(+) Lot of sounds which will make your neighbour angry
(-) Everything else

Download recommendation? Yes, if you have something to block your ears, you have loud reproductors and you want make your neighbour angry. Else not.

Hmm… Not bad, I think. I like the most, of the ending part of this track, which is really nice with those “crasing” and “machine” sound effects. It’s like a techno track with breaks, and a short melody. So, I like how you use this effects in this track, there are many good ideas, but I think, you need to change more in a track, to make a better remix. Just, don’t give up! =)
