Robbi-985's SC-88Pro MIDI files

Here are the MIDI files I've made for the Roland SC-88Pro synthesizer since 2012. The MIDIs are listed with icons next to their names, indicating some less-common or GS-only (i.e. Roland) features that each MIDI file uses. They can act as warning labels showing which aspects won't work correctly if played on certain MIDI players, or they can just satisfy curious people. I intended to release these 6 years ago, but hesitated because I know that they'll be taken and re-uploaded to random MIDI collection sites without credit, and then I never went ahead. But at this point, they're just sitting around on my computer doing nothing.
Thank you for your incredible patience, and I hope that some of you will be able to get enjoyment out of them now!

NOTE: GS (Roland) MIDIs work very badly on XG (Yamaha) synths, and vice-versa.

Here's a quick explanation for each of the icons above.

CCs #5, #65, #84

This can allow layering of instruments without duplicating notes.

(apart from the song name and date).
SysEx Messages
Effects

SysEx Messages
Importance
The background colour of the icon indicates how important this feature is to making the MIDI sound correct. In other words, it indicates how bad the MIDI will sound if played on a player which doesn't support the feature.

Not used
This MIDI doesn't use this feature at all.
Subtle
Playing this MIDI on a player which doesn't support this feature won't produce any weird sounds.
Significant
It will probably be noticable that some parts aren't ideal, or are missing, if this MIDI is played on a player which doesn't support this feature. However, it should still be tolerable.
Vital
If this MIDI is played on a player which doesn't support this feature, wrong sounds will be heard or significant portions will be missing, making it unpleasant or boring to listen to.
