MIDI FILE RESOURCES
Piano Wizard is like musical a browser, tapping into an ocean of content and 20 years of MIDI development. Below are several different types of resources for you, from links to MIDI file resources to links to complementary MIDI programs or equipment, to links on music and musical education in general. Please forward us your favorite resources and help us all win.
Our software uses MIDI files to magically render a game playing experience. While the software comes with it's own MIDI file, you can add more songs to the game. (See this tutorial).
Do your searches for any song you like, just go to Yahoo or Google type in the song you want and the word "MIDI" and see what you can find. As far as quality, it is catch as catch can be, but there is a lot of great music out there. Just be sure to copy the files to your My Songs folder in the game (You should have a link to that folder on your desktop, just copy and paste into that shortcut.)
WHAT THE HECK IS "MIDI" ANYWAY?
What Is MIDI and How To Use It
All About MIDI From An Educational Point Of View
Tutorial on MIDI and Music Synthesis
- Introduction into MIDI (1989) - A very good article for newcomers to MIDI, explaining how it came about, what MIDI messages are, and how MIDI devices can be connected, along with some additional references.
- Exploring MIDI - A good source for learning the basics of MIDI as well as some of the more technical aspects.
- USENET MIDI Primer (28K, 1989) - This gets into the more technical workings of MIDI, including electrical specifications data message structure.
- Tutorial on MIDI and Music Synthesis (108K) - This tutorial covers the basics of MIDI systems and MIDI messages, but it also gets into synthesizer technology and terminology, focusing on wavetable and sample-based synths (accompanied by pictures and diagrams). There is also some discussion of using PCs with MIDI and windows configuration.
- MIDI Technical Fanatic's Brainwashing Center - Tutorials covering a variety of topics.
