Ok, so I'm making custom midis for a while now, but generally, I'm not happy with the results. This is one of the few I'm mildly pleased with, so I want to ask you: please tell me what you think. I have a bunch of others, and I'm planning to compose about 75% of the midis in my upcoming D-Mod (Scenia) myself.

Thanks.

The start sounds like one kind of song, the middle sounds like another, and the end part with the vibrating el-guitar is just annoying.

Except for that, it's great stuff.

I think the transition from something soft to something harder works well, but I agree with Phoenix that the vibrating guitar doesn't work at the end. Midi is always tricky to get sounding right since the instruments act different for every card (or in the case of most now, midi emulators).

Good stuff.

Thanks for the comments. Would it work if I remove the vibrating, or is the outro a bad decision all together?

Hmm... it all depends on what you're using the song for. If it's a normal theme that will probably be playing in a loop, try to cut down the outro so that it can segue with the beginning and keep the general mood of the song going.

Ehm... That sound that repeats and repeats; I believe it is so much distracting.
