MIDI sound resources
Arguably the Web's single most popular sound format,
the MIDI file is everywhere these days.
A small data file, a MIDI file contains a musical
sequence that can drive your sound card or
electronic musical instrument if it has General MIDI
(GM), General Standard (GS) or Extended General MIDI
(XG) compatibility. (Virtually all sounds cards do).
From classical music to rock 'n' roll to techno: no
matter what your musical tastes, you can find your
favorite tunes in MIDI format somewhere on the Web
if you look hard enough. |
