Saost acd 28.mid (SA1: Theme of Chao)

saost_acd_28.mid is a midi rendition of "Theme of Chao" from Sonic Adventure 1, a Sonic the Hedgehog game for the Sega Dreamcast, later re-released on the Nintendo Gamecube.

A longer, updated version, known as sa_dc_32.mid could also be found on ESPIOKaos.com.

The midi file was composed by John Weeks on the 30th November 2002, and was uploaded to ESPIOKaos.com, a website that was home to a large number of Sonic-themed midi files.

saost_acd_28.mid has a duration time of 2 minutes, 26 second (2:26). The song plays at 125 BPM.

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.

The newer version of saost_acd_28.mid, "sa_dc_32.mid" could also be found on the main homepage of The Chao Island, an animated geocities website about Chao information & tips. However, that website also closed down as of October 26th 2009, due to Yahoo! Geocities' closure.

Luckily, the midi file has been archived since the website's closure, alongside a majority of ESPIOKaos' midi files on the Wayback Machine at Archive.org.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