Saost acd 16.mid (SA1: Speed Highway 1 - Speed Highway)

saost_acd_16.mid is a midi rendition of "Speed Highway 1 - Speed Highway (Run Through the Speed Highway)" 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_19.mid could also be found on ESPIOKaos.com.

The midi file was composed by John Weeks on the 4th March, 2001, and was uploaded to ESPIOKaos.com, a website that was home to a large number of Sonic-themed midi files.

saost_acd_16.mid has a duration time of 1 minute, 55 seconds (1:55). The song plays at 140 BPM.

This midi file also has four unused tracks, all using different channels, but all set as Grand Acoustic Piano.

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Luckily, the midi file has been archived since the website's closure, alongside a majority of ESPIOKaos' midi files on the Wayback Machine at Archive.org.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