Midi stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface; it's computer interpretted music. MIDI files are just coded instructions that tell the soundcard which instrument sound to produce at which note for how long. Most PC soundcards use a method known as FM Synthesis where different instrument sounds are created through algorithms. FM Synthesis MIDI sounds totally awful! You can get much better performance and quality if your soundcard has Wavetable capabilities. Such cards generate the music through sampled instruments rather than complete synthesis; the result is a more natural, realistic sound and better mixing. Simply put, wavetable will "rock" your system. Don't waste your money on big speakers; a better PC soundcard will improve the sound quality more.

In order to listen to these MIDI files your computer must have a soundcard and MIDI drivers. If the music doesn´t sound realistic, then... go & buy a wavetable equipped soundcard, install it and be amazed how much "different" MIDIs sound compared to FM-cards.

The files found on this site are a very small portion of my personal MIDI collection. Over the years, I've collected nearly 15,000 files... if you're not currently a collector, I hope visiting my page will change your mind...
