  • A midi file called Monster In My Closet made by Greg Hart from Diamond Multimedia for download in midi or RealAudio format:
    This MIDI file was written exclusively on and for the Monster Sound MX200's Wavetable daughter board.  This MIDI file makes calls to GS effects and thus will not sound good on any other sound card/keyboard unless they support GS.  It also uses a SFX drum kit at the beginning and the end of the song which may not translate properly to other devices.  The Real Audio version is no where near the audio quality of the actual MIDI file, but it will give you an idea. (The background hiss you hear is not the MX200, it is Real Audio).
