I've been mildly obsessed with the retro-themed roguelike game Rogue Fable III for a while now. And since I've spent what is probably hundreds of hours playing this game, I've also spent the exact same amount of time listening to its music. And since I like transcribing things, I figured for the 4th installment of my 2022 music project series I ought to transcribe some of the music.

Rogue Fable III was created by Pixel Forge Games. In-game music by Nooskewl Games.

Main Menu

The open hi-hat sounds terrible in the fluidsynth soundfont, but whatever, it's more about the transcription than the resulting audio.

Main Dungeon

This MIDI conversion also doesn't sound great, because I was too lazy to figure out how to exclude the tom fills (starting in bar 5) from the MIDI output. They're not actually tom fills in the actual track, but it was the easiest way to notate it.

The Iron Forge

This MIDI conversion is pretty decent, I even tried to articulate it properly. It turned out pretty good, and isn't a terrible match for the actual in-game track.
