Sc ms 01.mid (Sonic Chaos: Title Screen)

sc_ms_01.mid is a midi rendition of "Title Screen" from Sonic Chaos for the Sega Master System/Game Gear.

Another version of this midi file exists to represent the slightly different version found on Sonic 2 for the Sega Master System/Game Gear: s2_ms_01.mid. The square tones in the Sonic 2 version are higher pitched.

The midi file was composed by John Weeks on February 16th 2001, and was uploaded to ESPIOKaos.com, a website that was home to a large number of Sonic-themed midi files.

sc_ms_01.mid has a duration time of 21 seconds seconds (0:21). The song plays at 145 BPM.

The midi file for some reason has ten empty tracks, with different channels, all set to Acoustic Grand Piano (the default instrument for all channels excluding Channel 10, the drums channel).

Sadly, ESPIOKaos.com closed in 2008, losing most of its midi files. However, the website has been revived, but with broken links, meaning that most of ESPIOKaos.com's midi files have been lost in time.

Luckily, the midi file has been archived since the website's closure, alongside a majority of ESPIOKaos' midi files on the Wayback Machine at Archive.org.

Listen to Midi
Since the midi file was designed to run on an OPL3 soundcard, the midi file will sound drastically different on newer versions of Windows, since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard

(Note: If you're using Google Chrome or Opera, the midi file will download instead)

Important Note: The Archive.org link is the original .mid link. However, using right-click to download a midi from Archive.org results in the file becoming corrupted upon download; using left-click to save the midi file will solve this issue.
