    Cool enough I suppose, but the framing had me expecting the more farty twisted squarenoise instruments like in Wario Lands 1-3, and less smooth sines and squares. I tried out Kimi No Shiranai Monogatari and Daft Punk's Aerodynamic.

    Maybe you could list examples for midis you thought sounded cool next time you share this, or in a comment.

    Edit: though I guess a huge part of Wario flavor is the dissonant intervals in the music, as much as the farty instrumentation.

    It’s basically a midi search engine?

    “No MIDI files found. Try a different search” …

      It looks like it requires a MIDI which it then converts to sound like it’s coming out of a Gameboy.

      Here’s what the FAQ says:

      > How it works

      >

      > Search a song, pick a MIDI source, hit Generate. The Wario Synthesis Engine analyses the MIDI and resynthesises it using Web Audio oscillators tuned to mimic the Game Boy's 4-channel sound chip. All processing runs in your browser.

        Now just get Claude Code to build a hUGETracker exporter, and you could actually bring one of these songs into GB Studio!
