A few months ago, I took the time to recreate every song from Cave Story, as well as a few beta songs, in LittleBigPlanet 2. It was only just recently that I was able to actually record them properly and upload the video to YouTube. I'd like to share it with you all in hopes of getting some criticism and maybe point out some mistakes I might have made.
Sounds like you did a pretty good job. I don't know how Little Big Planet 2 works at all, so could you explain the process? How does LBP2's music creation tool compare to OrgMaker? I can't imagine it was easy to do with a PlayStation controller.
Sounds spot-on. Now it would be perfect if somebody paired this up with a CS-themed level in LBP2, then these songs could really be used to their full potential.

The sequencer in LBP2 is fairly similar to OrgMaker. You place an instrument on the circuit board and when you edit the instrument it opens another window featuring the piano roll. One of the few problems is that you're only able to have the song repeat once it reaches the end. So if I wanted it to be continuous I would have to copy and paste the parts of the song that repeat; pretty much everything but the small intro in most songs.
Since your limited to the instruments they provide you, I had to tinker around with them to match the ones in Cave Story.
It wasn't too difficult using a Playstation controller. Everything was optimized really well. Songs like Access were done in about 5 minutes. In fact, I find the LBP sequencer a lot easier to use than OrgMaker. You can create chords without using another instrument, you have the ability to make notes slide, and increase the timbre of a note to completely change the way it sounds.

You did very well!
All the songs sound very nice and quite close to the original. I especially like what you did with First Cave and Wind Fortress.
Looks like you've been making LBP2 music for a while now. And you're very good at it.
Greatly appreciated! I have been messing with the sequencer since the closed LBP2 beta started 3 years ago.
In response to CookedChef and Tpcool:
I didn't show it in the video, but I made a working controllable Quote sprite animation to go with the level. The only thing it can't do is jump.
And the CS themed level Chef is talking about was made by a friend of mine named Phort.
