SC-88Pro: ZUN's MIDIs the way they were intended to be heard (100% COMPLETE)

Thanks for the heads up. No idea why mediafire keeps doing that, but it seems that simply reuploading the track makes the original link work again.

Thanks for updating it.
These are great! I really appreciate hearing the original intent ZUN had in mind for these songs. I've played the PC-98 games and some of the songs are good in-game but ultimately suffer due to the disk space.
To bad there aren't more original MIDIs of Mystic Square. I love the music form that game (like Plastic Mind).

Here's the MIDI version of the soundtrack for the second Touhou game, Story of Eastern Wonderland. It's kinda rough around the edges since ZUN didn't have much experience with MIDI back then. The MIDIs for this game were made for the vanilla SC-88 rather than the SC-88Pro, and sound noticeably different from any of his future styles.
A lot has been happening lately so this took a lot longer than usual. Sorry about that. I recently got a really good new keyboard, Cubase Pro 8.5 was released, I've been reading two nice books, I've been learning a lot of new things... And soon I'll be getting a Roland U-220 along with most of its expansion cards and maaaaybe a Roland JV-1080, because what's responsible spending? Hopefully I'll be able to finish recording all of this before 2017.

Alright, next person to post gets to pick what gets recorded next, Kioh Gyoku or EoSD. :V
As stated in the first post the MIDI versions of these soundtracks were originally going to be _the_ OSTs, and they both sound quite different from the final WAVs. Not only were recorded recorded from a different synthesizer, they also have different instrumentation and use of effects.

For the glory of House Scarlet, I pick EoSD! :V
