Not fair. That's a video game soundtrack already.
... no but it so totally could be.

Reminded me of the first time I learned to program, I made an "ocarina songs" player in the console. It plays 3 songs. I figured them note by note, finding the notes online, testing until it was right :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B81lhIzyJLJbNTViWmh0bUlYMzg...

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.

Better MIDI search: <https://bitmidi.com/> I guess you could copypaste the 12345.mid id number into the Wario Synth URL, but it's a bit tedious.

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.

After 5 or 6 misses I found gimme gimme gimme by ABBA worked pretty well:

(first 20 seconds are junk but then it sounds a bit like a castlevania song)

Wanted features: (1) a way to preview the original MIDI again from a share link like this so I could still compare. Searching "ABBA Gimme Gimme Gimme" found one with the title "ABBA Gimme Gimme Gimme L" so I can't be 100% sure it's the same. And (2) a seekbar for the preview as well.
Kinda weird that search results seem hard-capped at 5. I guess it keeps things simple.

This is really cool!
Because I might learn something new: are there additional reasons for having an enable audio button that can’t be covered by the fact that the user has to interact with the page to Play the song anyways?
