This is NOT a midi file. It was arranged as a midi, played back on a Roland MT-32, but then recorded to a sampled audio wave file. This way any sound card could play it back. Most sound cards of the day used the OPL2 synthesizer for MIDI, which sounded like crap.
@lemonrind Actually, it wasn't an MT-32 that this originated from, it was a Roland Sound Canvas SC-55. I own both an MT-100 (MT-32 with a sequencer) and an SC-55mkII and the Sierra logo from the DOS version of KQ6 CD sounds *exactly* like in this video. Yet the logo sounds completely different when using the MT-100.
But you are quite right that the Sierra logo music in KQ6CD Windows was a recording of a MIDI file outputted from a synth.

I'm surprised they didn't try a more modern take on this.
