One of my favorite soundtrack in Gradius III, now arranged in MIDI using the same (well, at least close to) arrangement as the one by IKA-chan in MIDI Power X68000 ver 3.0. Luckily this track doesn't seem to use any instrument patch that's only available in Roland GS standards so technically you can play this MIDI in any other MIDI hardware synth without sounding too off.

As you may have noticed, the entire track just transposes by one semitone everytime it loops, and eventually just loop between the last two transposed parts. This is also present in the original arcade tune.

Played back using Roland Sound Canvas VA with SC-55 mapping, as usual. Also condensed the MIDI so it'd fit in 10 channels, though this also makes it somewhat problematic to play in other VSTs that don't load new instruments instantly.
