MIDI Files

There are tons of MIDI sources on the internet. This list should serve as a starting block, many of the sources listed here contain excellent collections.

Web pages and FTP sites come and go faster that most of us can keep up with them. One of the most time consuming maintenance tasks for web pages is keeping links updated. In order to spare you the frustration of broken links I try to check the links on this site as often as I can. If you find any that are not working please let me know.

There is a large MIDI archive on the FTP server of the Department of Computer Science, Utrecht University, the Netherlands. There are several Mirrors of this archive:

I think Cadenza MIDI Diary is a little bit different MIDI file site. It features a new original MIDI file each day.

A collection of original MIDI compositions is part of the Musical *Homeboy* Page

My cyber neighbor Ms. Moo has a fine collection of MIDI files at Moozique MIDI Madness from what I can judge and a MIDI file mailing service you might enjoy.

Windows 95 MIDI Archive has a huge collection of MIDI files grouped and zipped for downloading. If the rest of the sequences are as good as the ones being used for background music you should be able to find some treasures here. All the files are zipped with long file names.

The Wizard's Midi Links is a page of links to other sites with MIDI files.

The Webmaster of topmidis.com tells me it has hundreds of well selected MIDI files neatly organized by genre, from Jazz to Disco to Polka to Latin to Rock.

The newsgroup alt.binaries.sounds.midi is an excellent source of MIDI files. Depending on when you stop by, there may be tons of great stuff or a few bad ones, kind of like a grab-bag! But there are new files daily, so stop back often!
