Music MIDI Resources: Current Term

New MIDI Player Feature! (2nd March 2010)

In order to give you control over the tempo at which you listen to MIDI files (think
Bach), you can download simple instructions for how to install the MDI player. Print off
the two pages first and then click on this link to download Van Basco MIDI player. This
program is really great, and you can download it safely and for free from our site. I
know you don't like reading instructions, but it's very simple and the benefits are
really worth it.

This page has a large number of 'MIDI' files on it. If you are unfamiliar with MIDI files
then click on 'please explain' to get more information. If nothing happens when you
click once on a file, then you should definitely go and read the explanation for some
hints as to how to proceed. The dedicated MIDI page also explains how you can turn a
MIDI file into an MP3 file (IPOD etc), or a WAV file to make an audio CD

For the most faithful audio rendition of the files, right click on the part and choose
'save as'- this will allow you to save the file to your disk, then you don't have to keep
logging on to listen.
