Passport.mid Played on 10 Different MIDI Devices

[@mordaciousfilms]

What I always loved about this track, as a kid, was that it kinda sounded like an early 90s sitcom ending theme. I could picture like "freeze frames" of the episode as the credits rolled. There was a weird, humble warmth to 90s computer stuff. My family got our first PC in 1997 and I thought it was the weirdest and coolest thing just to poke around curiously on it listening to MIDIs. Damn, memories...

[@tttdssdff2267]

Yeah, it sounded so futuristic

[@claypotts2334]

I was born in 97. I know that feeling though. I crave it badly all the time

[@nic0vide0]

@0x0fffff It’s so funny they just straight up used the Trip Through The Grand Canyon (CANYON.MID) song as the intro. All jokes aside I could this being used as an alternate Seinfeld theme, especially with that slap bass straight outta ‘91!

[@benjaminross9373]

better than the Beverly Hills Cop theme, still the most sold track ever anyway

My Galaxy Note 9 sounds like the last one, and I love it. I've been using passport as an alarm ringtone for roughly 10 years now, ever since I was able to sideload passport.Midi into a cell phone. Every single one of them have sounded different.

[@venichen1]

My S20 sounds like the last tone too, does Samsung have their own soundfonts?

[@Zackx087]

Same

[@windows96-formerchannel3]

you're lucky, I've got a Xiaomi and unfortunately it uses the default Android soundfont.

[@Magistross1]

I always think it's a track from the SNES game Brain Lord

[@tweeleaf]

unfortunately it doesn’t have that EPIC arpeggio ish synth

[@ScutoidStudios]

And of course the Yamaha synth one like a megadrive game

[@anthonycassimiro2295]

Notes: -2:05 and 20:50 are nearly identical. -4:10 and 22:55 have most synths in common with each other.

[@PokeyFN]

well they would be identical, they use the same synth chip

[@masonreith2382]

This is the most underrated video of all time IMO. Shows so much about MIDI capabilities and showcases a classic jam at the same time

[@Owen-hg3cu]

[@KiraSlith]

I was expecting the Yamaha OPL-3 Wavetable or DS-XG to be the most pleasing of the selection, but the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz really is the best sounding to my ears, even if it's not entirely accurate to the intended sound since back then.

[@RealEpikCartfrenYT]

The last one is actually MSGS Wavetable synth, something that's part of Windows itself. it's my favorite out of all these, despite low quality sample, but damn that turtle beach has really good wavetable

[@ianmi4i727]

Nothing like the OPL3 FM synth version/sound!! Pure retro sound as if I still have my 486 DX4 PC with OPL3 FM synth MIDI playback.

[@Mathman420]

The Turtle Beach is so damn good

[@GP1138]

Is it weird that I like #2 the most?

[@uncannyfox]

Not at all! It has this good early 90s Sega Genesis quality to it.

[@Omabatfartsbruh]

yes

[@somethingoriginal1707]

I like #2 the most too. Mostly because it reminds me of early Sega Genesis games

[@theparadoxbox174]

No, the AWE32 family sounded really good.

[@KingLich451]

#3 is nice but #2... bleh :/

[@txikitofandango]

#4 is super tight

[@robert.dexter]

Sounds like compressed sc-55

[@windows96-formerchannel3]

Even 20 years later, my gaming laptop still has the card that sounds just like the Yamaha OPL3-SA3 Wavetable Synth. I'm actually quite convinced that the card might be the Yamaha itself.

[@ZuluRomeo]

2:05 is Cbat by Hudson Mohawke 😜

[@erm_ok]

my favorite has gotta be the turtle beach Santa Cruz

[@user-hd1db7zs7c]

yea

[@KingLich451]

yee

[@jiayouchinese]

I used to play shareware from AOL back in the day, and like half of the games used this midi...including a game called "OJ Simpson Escape", which plays this song while you're driving away from the cops.

[@DoomKid]

ROFL, that’s hilarious! I remember hearing it in some old Doom maps

[@JohnSmith-iu8cj]

Can’t decide, I like em all, Aureal, Yamaha, turtle beach, ultrasound...

[@SobbleEntertainment]

The sound bank in the VX11000 (runs Brew 3.1.5) has an identical one in the Samsung Intensity II SCH-U460, 501c and more others that run on Brew 3.1.5. The upgraded version of that synthesizer (Brew MP) is on other most newer phones like the 840G or 306G, etc.

[@MichaelEllisYT]

The last one is the correct version. Finally, after all these years. Perfection!

[@fb5601]

You should have put Microsof GS wavetable as a joke

[@MakotoIchinose]

SC-55 is no joke, though.

[@DoomKid]

The last one is identical to Microsft GS wavetable.. Listen for yourself!

At 4:10 is what I remembered my mom's Windows 98 Plus! Toshiba laptop playing the music like.

[@stephenw1785]

How come it doesn't ship with Win10? I want my money back.

[@XaneMyers]

They really should've kept these classic MIDIs around. Sure, there's things like onestop.mid but those...just aren't the same as this! If Microsoft includes MIDIs Windows never plays in Windows 10, they should've put this and canyon.mid in with them.

[@TheNiteNinja19]

I always thought passport.midi was an Easter egg in the OS, kids at school was always amazed when I found it growing up lol

[@hgfhghghgfhfghgfhghg538]

cause most soundcards on modern motherboards dont have any synth capabilities its all emulate through gs wave table and sounds like trash

Disappointed that it's not 10 devices all at once. These old midi tracks really come to life when you play them from multiple sources at once; sounds like a live band. Unfortunately I've only seen LGR do this, and it was only a one-off thing.

why does the default android soundfont suck this bad 8:20 the instruments are loud as hel (well at least on my phone i dunno if its a phone issue) and even tho i love reverb this is quite way too much...

It could be found on 3.1, 95, and 98!

[@Daniel15au]

yeah I'm pretty sure it was in Windows 3.1 as well.

[@DuranMedine]

Well this actually from Windows 3.0 MME which appeared later in Windows 3.1. In Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 98 had Passport.mid in the Media folder if you had the Sample Sounds component installed under the Windows Setup in Add/Remove Programs under the Multimedia category along with Multimedia Sound Schmes, even though in Windows 2000 had it installed by default.

[@SomeRandomPiggo]

22:55 sounds like my one lmao

[@vertz1515]

Probably because most of, if not all computers of this era has the wavetable synth built in.

[@chillybunz]

Gravis sounds the best imo.

[@pixelcrunch300]

Can you tell me where you got the soundfonts to make these songs?

[@CrazeeWeegeMan47]

These aren't soundfonts, they are the wavetables stored on the cards.The aureal, gravis, and turtle beach cards use software wavetables, so you might be able to extract stuff from the drivers if you were so inclined.

[@t.p.ggaming3884]

Meaning he literally plugged in each card and recorded them

[@robert.dexter]

The last one isn't opl3 wavetable (since when yamaha release wavetable version of opl3?) Is that crappy ms gs wavetable synth

[@CrazeeWeegeMan47]

OPL3-SA3 (not the same as the original OPL3) does have a wavetable mode in addition to traditional FM synthesis. These chips were commonly used in laptops and integrated into some onboard motherboard audio solutions.

[@robert.dexter]

@@CrazeeWeegeMan47 but why is sounded like default ms wavetable? Is this mistake or what? I watched your onestop.mid is different

[@Ian16545]

In *my* book, 1, 3-6 and 8-9 top all the rest.

Yamaha DS-XG is the best soundfont and sounds much more realistic than the others. The electric guitar sounds like the "Hollowed harp" from the Roland D50.
