Success with N64 Sequenced Music

A hummingbird moth wearing headphones.

Remember when I said I would never attempt to embed N64 sequenced music on a webpage again? I lied. I just had to give it another try! I wanted to see what kind of results I would get by using a midi extracted via N64 Soundbank Tool. There were some errors I had to fix, but it sounds pretty good! Not perfect, of course, but it's recognizable.

Fixes

I had to change the sustain level of the bass instrument in the soundfont, so the sound wouldn't go quiet immediately. Fixed soundfont (use 7zip to extract). I also added reverb.

The most difficult part was recreating the reverb heard in game. I tried a bunch of weird module things, but all I really needed was to play a convolverNode reverb output alongside the unmodified output.
