1.5 GIGABYTES of MIDI?

Even in this day and age of $12 Flash Drives that hold 4 Gigs of data, trying to imagine 1.5 Gigs of pure MIDI (even smaller than MODs, with no instruments!) is a little daunting. I'm guessing this is providing the background tracks for your next KOTM game?

Wow, all those little

Wow, all those little 50-220kb files really add up don't they. Or has my memory on midi filesizes gotten fuzzy over the years.

I haven't heard tecnovox.mid

I haven't heard tecnovox.mid in a long time.

Haha, some of them are renamed MP3 files. Try sorting by size.

I haven't ever heard

I haven't ever heard tecnovox.mid!

FYI: If you don't want to download them all, these are also mirrored at http://artscene.textfiles.com/music/midi/.

True, perhaps embarassing, story: When I was a dumb kid with internet access, I became somewhat involved in online Samurai Pizza Cats fandom. This MIDI of the Samurai Pizza Cats theme song is mostly my creation; someone else changed the instruments to sound better on FM synthesized General MIDI, and put one of the notes a half-step higher (to my eternal irritation). Their version was the one that spread. (My former pseudonym is given credit in the MIDI track list, if you have some program which will look at that.)

I was kind of hoping someone on Geocities had my original version. Oh, well.
