Cool enough I suppose, but the framing had me expecting the more farty twisted squarenoise instruments like in Wario Lands 1-3, and less smooth sines and squares. I tried out Kimi No Shiranai Monogatari and Daft Punk's Aerodynamic. https://www.wario.style/s/yWHphmhO https://www.wario.style/s/BSN15NEs Maybe you could list examples for midis you thought sounded cool next time you share this, or in a comment.

Better MIDI search: https://bitmidi.com/> I guess you could copypaste the 12345.mid id number into the Wario Synth URL, but it's a bit tedious.

It’s basically a midi search engine? “No MIDI files found. Try a different search” …

It looks like it requires a MIDI which it then converts to sound like it’s coming out of a Gameboy. Here’s what the FAQ says: > How it works > > Search a song, pick a MIDI source, hit Generate. The Wario Synthesis Engine analyses the MIDI and resynthesises it using Web Audio oscillators tuned to mimic the Game Boy's 4-channel sound chip. All processing runs in your browser.

That’s fine, but “turn any song into…” is just a lie then.

Reminded me of the first time I learned to program, I made an "ocarina songs" player in the console. It plays 3 songs. I figured them note by note, finding the notes online, testing until it was right :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B81lhIzyJLJbNTViWmh0bUlYMzg...
