LMMS now works on OSX (with bugs and crashes)

Rendered the title theme midi from the old DOS game, called CyberMage:

Back then mp3 was not yet invented, so all game music was in midi format, usually relaying on a standard sample set, called General MIDI sound bank. Different audio hardware came with different implementations that that sample set, so all game soundtracks of the era performed incorrectly on all but some single audio card the composer had while making the song. Typically composers used high end midi keyboards to produce the songs, which programmers just thrown into the game, so in reality no card may have been compatible.

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided.”

Basically, people like the kitsch which are the flaws ubiquitous to a medium. It's weird that in retrospect genres like chiptunes garnered a weird modicum of appeal in mainstream music, sometimes as a prominent motif. They like the artificial, in-organic sound signature of trackers and raw midi because of what that kitsch connotes.

I like the Touhou soundtracks, but it's really embarrassing to listen to them played with irl classical arrangements. The compositions are really meant more for the midi environment they were authored in. Classical music in general is kind of like that, because all my Classical nerd friends talk about how they prefer different performances of arrangements, which, in my rock music background and upbringing, sounds about as annoying as ten consecutive remasters and remixings of a single album, but they love that shit. What makes a performance better in a spacious, reverb-ey music hall than in a sterile, congested studio when both performances represent the same theory, which is apparently supposed to be the focal point of the genre?
