Sorry if this is the wrong section, I couldn't find anything better.

I will only give out the .bin on special request (not worth the time)
I recorded the song with my Acer Aspire One's Crystal Eye. (The beige cord you see on the piano is an audio out going to the mic input) The MIDI was being recorded by the Yamaha Clavinova piano (as a MIDI) and my netbook (as a WAV) Then, the MIDI was converted and inserted into Banjo-Kazooie, overlapping the Spiral Mountain theme. I'm quite terrible at playing the piano, and I just learned the song, creating a horrible mess, but it's flaws were transfered to the game, and that's why I chose it. The piano is a Yamaha Clavinova. I have no idea what the model is, though. The song is Clockwork, from Castlevania 3 (Only retro hackers would understand this, but anyway I played the 2nd square with my right hand, and the triangle with my left.)
The MIDI converter I used can be found here. (http://www.rarewitchproject.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25521)
I chose to have Banjo stand by a wall so the emulator didn't render all of Spiral Mountain, eliminating sound pops and skips, and to keep it in sync with my video recording (even though the combination was WAY off sync anyways)
