There's no such thing as "sounds like MIDI," I think you mean "sounds like chipmusic" so it won't get downvoted... That's all in your choice of instrument.

okay how about "sounds like microsoft gm wavetable synthesizer" or "sounds like roland gm/gs", which is almost always what people mean when they say "sounds like MIDI".

downvotes have nothing to do with it. for me, the entire point of making it .mid is to create sounds that seem like they have no business being in a .mid file. if i change the instrumentation then it totally undermines the goals i've set. like, why make chip music at all if my attitude is going to be "man i can just replace all the sounds with 'real synths'"? i don't get it!

That sounds like a challenge to me >:) Victory Road vs. Strobe: GO! big_smile

I really hope this all works out. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. VR, maybe you can enter the 600s+k in wildchip and make another for midi with the size limit in mind? I don't know. Make it 9/10ths shorter?

and if i rearrange it to make it not sound like a MIDI then i feel like i might as well not submit it at all, y'know?

Most clutter in MIDI is continuous controller (CC) data, if you aren't doing volume swells and such you can delete almost all of it.

I've used MIDI for Wildchip before, no problems with that!

Sorry for all the questions, but I am having problems submitting. I have tried reloading the page re-exporting the song, the works. I got nothing, I just get this error from BOTB claiming that no file was received.

this is a problem that happens when the file upload is under, but very close to 7.5MB; i think it's to do with the browser timing out

i recommend re-exporting your song at a lower bitrate MP3 (V0 or V2 if possible) and uploading that, which should go through; you can then always provide a link to a higher-bitrate render in the comments smile
