Oh my lord. That is one of the best arrangements ive heard in a while. (theres some stuff that reminds me of really old smooth jazz i grew up with, like the rippingtons and the Breckerbrothers which is just pure amazing.)
For everybody asking what software: It's the Music Animation Machine, created by smalin on TH-cam. He made it to animate midi files and put the software up for download for free. Look him up here.
Words don't give this justice. When that battle theme kicked in at 1:50, My jaw was on the floor. This is the most beautiful, amazing, and awe-inspiring piece of music. Thank you, for blessing my life with 3 minutes and 35 seconds of epic.
This is purely amazing.. All the work put into all the music must have taken forever, and it all came out so great! This Jinja person is epic and needs to make more. Lol. It's a shame that s/he's done though. :/
Oh this is soooo going in my favorites. Really NICE!! I love the music to 'CT' (Love the game too). And this is probably the best MIDI rendition I've heard to date. Thanks for posting. I would love to have a copy of this.
Oh definitely, you're right that it's amazing. I just didn't want anyone to be confused and think that this was part of the intent of the original composer of the piece.
Am I to believe that this is hattari sen's final work? That would be a terrible shame. I discovered these arrangements today and listened through each of them. I hope to hear much more. I have not been moved such as this from any work dealing with video game music in my life. And this includes the live orchestra stuff.
Oh god this takes me back. Especially the forest and the battle music. Reminds me of the bridge battle. NEED MORE. Time to watch the rest of this stuff.
That takes talent, he obviously knows a lot about how music works, I thought the same thing as you, then I got to actually looking deep into it, as I am a musician myself, and I see, how me managed it
Brilliant. The only part that actually sounds a little off is the bridge one here. But the Nu's in the main theme match perfectly, and the forest part is amazing. The original music itself draws the trees.
I don't have the official names in front of me, but it starts with intro, then goes into guardia forest, then black omen, then enhasa, then boss music (I notice a magus theme intermixed into it, I bet a lot of the themes have weird itnermixings as well) Then a Marle-ish theme that shows up at the ending as well
Darn you. Darn you right to heck. See, I have this problem. A mental complex, really. Every time I hear Chrono Trigger music or any music that sounds remotely like Chrono Trigger music, I have to go play Chrono Trigger. Thanks a lot...
Actually, if I remember correctly, there really isn't anything in Chrono Trigger that sounds like the intro. It's very slightly based off of the music that plays when you don't push anything at the "Press Start" screen in the beginning, but besides that, it's original.
"This is art. you should feel mentally refreshed. If staring at art did not refresh you like you wanted, then please sit back while we play some Chrono trigger. Deploying in 3...2...1..."
This author wont make any more of his videogame musical art, he is done with it. It is sorta sad thinking about it, as I will never see something this amazing again.
I don't think so. I think the images, like the Chrono Trigger at the beginning, the 'image' of Zeal, and even Chrono on the bridge fighting that Dragon Engine near the beginning of the game were added over top of the actual music. The added music was made so that it wouldn't sound out of place... but I'm pretty sure it isn't part of the original score.
@smokingbandit67 The emotional bonding to a song often overpasses technical admiration and respect for a well-known masterpiece. Much like we would save a blanket over a painting of Fragonard. But it's because it's our one and only blanket... don't hate on people's innocent dreams. Mozart had a dream himself.
I think so, too^^ But according to Wikipedia, it was never released in Europe ._. i love Square Enix games, but i hate that they didn't release some of their greatest works here xD
Definitely. The program is the same, but he's using some MIDI file that smalin never used...I don't think there's any place to download it, unfortunately, as it looks to be the author's own work.
Damn! I'm coming from 2017 and you did this 9 years ago. This is amazing
I'm amazed
I'm glad you know hattariyaro.
0:09 "Chrono Trigger"
0:38 TREES!!
1:01 Pikachus and Bomb Masks
1:25 Excuuuuuuuse me, Princess!
2:14 Jurassic Park
2:38 Thank you for playing!
Cool stuff
This came back up on my feed. I remember when I listened to this in junior high and loved it. I feel old...hard to believe that's been 9-10 years now.
the music spells chrono trigger.... i have no words
After so many years, this STILL gives me the best nostalgia-fueled goosebumps.

You're Welcome! That is pure genius in writing a custom MIDI file specially for this program, just to make words and/or images!
This was posted in 2007 and over 3 years later it still hasn't passed 100,000 views...
Indeed, the future refused to change... *lavos sound*

When it got to the boss battle song it literally sent chills up my spine
That takes talent, he obviously knows a lot about how music works, I thought the same thing as you, then I got to actually looking deep into it, as I am a musician myself, and I see, how me managed it
jinja is freakishly talented
this is art, no less.
Brilliant.

That took me back... years. It's really beautiful. Thank you for providing such inspiration to my life.
This is almost difficult to believe... this is absolutely brilliant.
Years later I keep coming back
I love the way it all fits together.
FAVORITE!
*sniff* that was the most beautiful "Thank You For Listening" I have ever heard......
Couldn't help but tear up at the end.
I don't have the official names in front of me, but it starts with intro, then goes into guardia forest, then black omen, then enhasa, then boss music (I notice a magus theme intermixed into it, I bet a lot of the themes have weird itnermixings as well)
Then a Marle-ish theme that shows up at the ending as well
Please don't stop now! These are absolutely amazing!
Don't know if i've commented here before, but even if I have, it's worth commenting again. Totally wonderful!
I hope to hell that whoever this is has gotten a orchestrator position by now, because this is just amazing.
Absolutely awesome. Best video of that kind ive ever seen. Congratulations for this wonderful piece of Art.
Wow. I was expecting a small little thing like the other MIDI Animation stuff, but this thing is fucking awesome and epic. Please, keep it up.
The Secret of the forest!
Ooh, that part is amazing.
Pure.
100%.
Quality.
Darn you. Darn you right to heck.
See, I have this problem. A mental complex, really. Every time I hear Chrono Trigger music or any music that sounds remotely like Chrono Trigger music, I have to go play Chrono Trigger.
Thanks a lot...
Wow. Brilliant arrangement.
scrolling sheet music is art, huh never knew
Actually, if I remember correctly, there really isn't anything in Chrono Trigger that sounds like the intro. It's very slightly based off of the music that plays when you don't push anything at the "Press Start" screen in the beginning, but besides that, it's original.
this is so good i literally dookied and ate the dookie
"This is art. you should feel mentally refreshed. If staring at art did not refresh you like you wanted, then please sit back while we play some Chrono trigger. Deploying in 3...2...1..."
Wow... just wow. Simply amazing!

I LOVE THIS!
This is art.
Amazing.
Sweet, my favorite game to boot.
I swear, this is a masterpeice
freaking amazing
Oh my God, this is amazing!
Ah, I haven't played this game in years~ I really want to steal it back from my brother now!
These animations are awesome.
Brilliant! I loved it!
wooow!! greath work!
THIS is the point I was trying to make
It's music to my eyes.
this stuff is Awesome!!!
Argh! Totally insane. REALLY AWESOME! Instant 5 & Favorite :)
You made pictures out of music.
You probably achieved more in life than most will :(

@zornor its pretty cool how hes done it but he played notes on different scales to achieve this. you shouldnt downgrade yourself that easily =)
Very impressive!
this rocks!
Sounds epic and makes me wish i knew the game... so much out there i don't even know xD
5/5
OMG o.o just fantastic
Yeah what rubiximus said... I never liked fighting those goddamn Boss Orbs though... Oh well. Excellent stuff!
I approve of this
how did they make it!?!? it must be magic!!
How could anyone dislike this......
I love thiss....
I espcially love the ending. [:
OMG !!!! I LOVE YOU !!!
nice
I think so, too^^
But according to Wikipedia, it was never released in Europe ._.
i love Square Enix games, but i hate that they didn't release some of their greatest works here xD
This is RIDICULOUS. How do you create pictures using a midi reader without sacrificing.. well, the NOTES?
I don't log in alot, but this is fucking awesome.
I really want the original midi instead of ripping an MP3.
I CAN BELIEVABLE
Black Omen? Those are enemies from there... *Thinks* I'm too tired to think of it specifically XD
I believe it is "Heart felt reunion"
thats love
RIP Jinja :(
wow.. you are good :)
Just excellent, please have my money.
Mind. Fucking. Blown.
Definitely. The program is the same, but he's using some MIDI file that smalin never used...I don't think there's any place to download it, unfortunately, as it looks to be the author's own work.
@ELMUPPODAGREAT,
1. A Premonition
5. Sad Song
wordless ...
So beautiful... should have sent a poet.
the insect face and little characters, where they created on purpose like that? by nobuo uematsu?
AHHH goosebumps
Tried syncing the music in the game up with these remixes, but the remixes are too slow. D:
Black Omen and Corridors of Time were sexy as fuck. Nice job!
Is this all? aw.....
2:50 No, thank you. Thank you very much
I need the MIDI file for this.
wowwww!
What is the theme at 2:39? Please tell me I want to learn it on piano
@karmacop911 read the video description
The 240p of my life
The user doesn't make these, he just gets them from Nico Video. And the author is not making any more of these MIDI things.
I have a Eargasm
@Ventorez What is this? Dig Dug?
