Thread Name: Posting tunes with MIDItext
Subject: RE: Posting tunes with MIDITXT
Hi! New guy here, so please excuse me if I've missed some relevant newbie FAQs.

I am interested in MIDI. But it looks like you want only the bare-bones one-track files. Yet there are some files in your MIDI listings that declare an instrument ... and some even start effects processors, or use Roland-style bank switching.

Will there ever be a place for fully-arranged MIDI files? I have a few, found at:

www.jps.net/jkwasnik/midium.html

Due to copyright restrictions, the tunes there are ALL public domain, though mostly folk and Celtic.

Also, as a suggestion, it would be nice to have a MIDI reset button on the file list pages. I've had to shell out of my browser to play a reset after some of the files have changed patch bank to one I don't have on my synth, transforming the playback to rhythmic clicking.

Thanks,

John Kwasnik
