I'm looking for some software that can make music that has the same midi sounds as this clip.
Ultima underworld
I think the software that was used to make music for the games must have been pretty common at some point, because a lot of PC games from the 90'ies has this very similar, distinct sound.
Another example
Darkseed
I really like the sound of this. The full bass, the strange sounding bell chimes, the drums. I want these sounds!!!
Anyone have any ideas how i can accomplish this? Is it an old PC tracker or something?

(without listening to the sample) that would be my suggestion too.

this is the tracker you'd love
It's an emulated Adlib tracker like those oldskool game music and the Sega Genesis sound engine. In this thread is a link for download, and also an english txt file with all the info on effect commands you need.

i think it's just the midi sounds from the soundcard?
my bro used to have cakewalk on his ancient pc and it sounded pretty much like that.

It's not exactly the same, even tho it sounds a lot like it, but you can hear the difference if you download the soundtrack to for example ultima underworld in midi files... It's a bit different.

MIDI files are just data that tells a synthesizer what to do
they're not actual sounds
so it will sound different depending on what soundcard you're using

I'm aware of that, ofcourse, but i said that because i think there might have been some kind of tracker built inside the games itself, instead of just using the soundcards standard sounds (whatever they are), since when i play ultima underworld on my computer now, the sounds are the same as they were back when i played it on my 486.
