BPM question regarding the Research theme
Hi!

I'm working on a cover of the Research theme and I was wondering something about the V2 pack you posted on the SS.org forum a few years back.

I wanted to bump the thread over there but it's locked now.

There is a widely circulated pack from https://thiefmissions.com/jukebox/ss1_2.htm that contains all the midi files from the game as well but I noticed in yours, the Research theme is 108 BPM instead of 110.

Is this intentional?

I was wondering if you were aware of that other pack and what other differences there might be regarding the Research theme from pack to pack.

I also sent you a friend request on Steam so we can chat if you want.

Sorry, I missed this entirely somehow. I ripped the songs using SSPLAYER, which is intended to rip the songs with more accurate timing. It wouldn't surprise me if that track was different from the output of XMI2MID by a couple beats. https://wenchy.net/old/ssplayer.html

Security is the only one I was ever conscious of though. The speed difference is absurd.

Maybe we should pull up the game and check which is accurate :)

No worries, I ended up 108 as a reference since I liked the groove better at that speed.

Cheers and thanks for the explanation and the reply.
