Hope you enjoy! You're free to use these any way you wish... use them in fan games, upload them to your sites to share with others, etc. These are labors of musical love done by a fan, for the fans.

Note that these are all subject to future improvements and fixes.

Since many of the CD tracks include more than one song in them, individual songs will be identfied using a "Track X-A/B/C" format, where "Track X-A" is the first song in track X, "Track X-B" is the second song in Track X, etc.

• Track 6-A: Variant of the "Neko Me Slash" BGM.

CD 2

• Track 12-A: A very distinctive and often-used piece of battle BGM, one of my favorites.
• Track 15: A somewhat annoying piece of action/suspense music. This MIDI isn't a very good take on it, it needs some serious work.

Below is the post that I originally started the topic with shorty after finishing my first KNT MIDI.
Hi everybody, new member here. I come bringing a gift of sorts...

I watched a few episodes of Samurai Pizza Cats back when it was on the air, and always found it a very amusing show. Fairly recently, I came across the fansubs here, and found myself hooked on Kyatto Ninden Teyandee's opening song, "Ottodokkoi Nihonbare". It's an incredibly catchy tune.

Dabbling in digital music is one of my hobbies, so I love MIDIs. However, the only one I could find of this song (kindly hosted on Violet's website) was kind of subpar (no offense to Hero Boy  ). It sounded decent, and the basic tune was there, but the rhythm was a bit off (lacking the catchy bounciness of the original), and some of the more subtle details were missing. So using the the MIDI and an MP3 of the song (thanks to Polly SPC's site) for reference, I set about sequencing my own MIDI of the song in Fruity Loops:

It's not perfect of course, but I think it's a bit more accurate to the original than the first MIDI. I'm actually quite surprised at how well it turned out, considering that I never really had any musical training of any kind (never played an instrument in school, or anything), basically everything I know about musical structure has come from screwing around with MIDIs and stuff. I doubt I would have gotten nearly as far without the first MIDI to work from, though... so thanks a bunch to Hero Boy for sequencing that first MIDI, thanks to Violet for providing it, and thanks to Polly SPC for providing the MP3 of the original song!

Wow! That was awesome!
*listens to it again

[Violet]

Yes, that sounds better.
If anyone wants to compare it to the old one, I have it and a few other midi (KNT, SPC, and other) that I have used on my web pages all uploaded at http://members.tripod.com/~PrincessVi/music.html

Pretty good stuff. :3

Well, since I already have the main version done, I figured "why not make MIDIs of some of the variants of Ottodokkoi Nihonbare from the KNT soundtracK?"  So I decided to sequence the beautiful piano arrangement from Track 6 of the first KNT CD. Picking chords out by ear drives me insane, but once again, this actually came out better than I had expected.

So did you it by ear?  Congratulations, the resulting song is very beautiful! 
I'll put in my FTP/HTTP server so more people can get it. Thanks for your work!

[felineki]

Most of it was by ear. The main melody was copied from my first Nihonbare MIDI, at the start of the topic (which itself was a combination of using Hero Boy's Nihonbare MIDI as reference and changes made by ear), then modified as needed (rhythm and such). The accompaniment was entirely by ear, just lots of trial and error until it sounded right!

And thanks for hosting it on your server, Daisensei! Hope lots of other fans out there will find it and enjoy it.

[felineki]

New MIDI for y'all! I still have a lot of tweaking left to do to this one, but the basic tune's there, so I figured I'd go ahead and upload it.

Great job, felineki! 
All 3 MIDIs are in my FTP server now. I hope you'll bring us more MIDI files.

I like very much the 1st tune of the 6th track of KNT BGM Drama CD. You can get it in MP3 format at Supersonic's FTP site. The file I already mentioned is "06 Hara ga Etta mo Yattaro.mp3". If you sequenced it, I would be very grateful.

[felineki]

Well, that one proved to be pretty tricky... lots of background piano chords that were tough to pick out. It's probably considerably off, but here's what I've managed to come up with so far:

I love that track.
The Midi version sounds perfect.
That's cool.

[Daisensei]

I love that track.

Me too!

The Midi version sounds perfect.
That's cool.

Yes, I agree. Thanks again, felineki!

[Violet]

Nice work again

[felineki]

New MIDI up today, one of a piece of BGM that wasn't on either of the CDs!
http://home.mchsi.com/~mbiddinger/usahime.mid

[Violet]

Oh cool!  I've wanted that one, for obvious reasons.

[felineki]

I thought you might like it. I've been humming that tune to myself all day... that's a side effect of doing this kind of stuff. Once you've been listening to and working on recreating a single song for a few hours it really gets stuck in your head.

[NPC]

What program are you using to make these?

[felineki]

Fruity Loops. Very nice all-around piece of music software, there's lots of stuff you can do with it. The included sequencer is perfect for making MIDIs.

Another great tune, I put it into my FTP/HTTP server.
