Midi Exploration (more or less)

[Rodney]

The Tinkering Gnome is one of the few who have bravely ventured into the realm of midi music and A:M and I've long thought to exploit the technology.

I still haven't.

 

I am however, moving in that direction.

 

Here is a site that has a 3D keyboard that plays midi music that may be of interest to some (especially programmers as the code is available via github).

Of specific interest to me is that this is similar to several sites where you can simply drag and drop the midi file into the browser window and the page's code takes it from there.

The song that should play by clicking the link above is Tchaikovsky's Sweet Dream Op-39 No-21. Yeah... like I'm sophisticated enough to differentiate that one from Op-39 No. 432... if'n there ever might be one.

 

At any rate... midi... it's old tech... but still very useful... so embrace it.

 

Added: I have ran into several programs that are useful for converting from .mid to .wav and back again. It's rather frustrating that Audacity cannot do that.

 

Edit: Try this one, MUCH BETTER: http://qiao.github.io/euphony/#200

(I was playing the theme song to 'Indiana Jones' earlier via drag and drop into the browser window)

Rodney I have used a free Polysoft converter to get mp3 file then used audacity to get wav

 

did a quick one and used harmonic shag to play it so it looks a little strange
