![]() The closest thing to the 'original' you can get with a MIDI is to use whatever the composer happened to use when composing it, which in the case of doom is a Roland SC-55, so you'd have to look for somebody who has recorded the doom soundtrack played back through one of those, but even then, different people playing back the doom soundtrack through the same module could sound different depending on their settings as you were able to tune various parameters on the device like reverb, chorus, etc, so not all SC-55 recordings of the doom soundtrack will sound the same.Ĭonveniently, the re-released doom unity ports have. if you were real fancy, you may have an expensive MIDI module device like a Roland Sound Canvas, which could produce very high quality realistic instrument sounds. some people heard it through a Gravis UltraSound soundcard which is a big step up in fidelity and realistic instrument sound over the soundblaster synth, particularly in the drums. most people didn't have an expensive synthesizer to produce a high quality soundtrack playback, so must people had to use the cheap dinky sounding synthesizer on their PC sound card which makes the drums sound like little weak tinks and bloops. back then, people heard the doom soundtrack in several different ways. There's no such thing as 'accurate to the originals' when it comes to MIDIs because they contain no sound in and of themselves, they only tell an external MIDI synthesizer notes and instruments to play from its own sound bank, so a MIDI sounds like whatever device you use to play one, which back then was a physical device, nowadays it's usually a software program.
