The MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) was formed following a meeting of "all interested companies" at the 1984 Summer NAMM Show in Chicago. The MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification was published at the MMA's second meeting at the 1985 Summer NAMM show. The standard continued to evolve, adding standardized song files in 1991 (General MIDI) and adapted to new connection standards such as USB and FireWire. In 2016, the MIDI Association was formed to continue overseeing the standard.[8] An initiative to create a 2.0 standard was announced in January 2019.[21] The MIDI 2.0 standard was introduced at the 2020 Winter NAMM show.[22]

Some composers may take advantage of standard, portable set of commands and parameters in MIDI 1.0 and General MIDI (GM) to share musical data files among various electronic instruments. The data composed via the sequenced MIDI recordings can be saved as a standard MIDI file (SMF), digitally distributed, and reproduced by any computer or electronic instrument that also adheres to the same MIDI, GM, and SMF standards. MIDI data files are much smaller than corresponding recorded audio files.[citation needed]

The Standard MIDI File (SMF) is a file format that provides a standardized way for music sequences to be saved, transported, and opened in other systems. The standard was developed and is maintained by the MMA, and usually uses a .mid extension.[56] The compact size of these files led to their widespread use in computers, mobile phone ringtones, webpage authoring and musical greeting cards. These files are intended for universal use and include such information as note values, timing and track names. Lyrics may be included as metadata, and can be displayed by karaoke machines.[57]

SMFs are created as an export format of software sequencers or hardware workstations. They organize MIDI messages into one or more parallel tracks and time-stamp the events so that they can be played back in sequence. A header contains the arrangement's track count, tempo and an indicator of which of three SMF formats the file uses. A type 0 file contains the entire performance, merged onto a single track, while type 1 files may contain any number of tracks that are performed synchronously. Type 2 files are rarely used[58] and store multiple arrangements, with each arrangement having its own track and intended to be played in sequence.

Microsoft Windows bundles SMFs together with Downloadable Sounds (DLS) in a Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) wrapper, as RMID files with a .rmi extension. RIFF-RMID has been deprecated in favor of Extensible Music Files (XMF).[59]

Early PC games were distributed on floppy disks, and the small size of MIDI files made them a viable means of providing soundtracks. Games of the DOS and early Windows eras typically required compatibility with either Ad Lib or Sound Blaster audio cards. These cards used FM synthesis, which generates sound through modulation of sine waves. John Chowning, the technique's pioneer, theorized that the technology would be capable of accurate recreation of any sound if enough sine waves were used, but budget computer audio cards performed FM synthesis with only two sine waves. Combined with the cards' 8-bit audio, this resulted in a sound described as "artificial"[81] and "primitive".[82]

The Downloadable Sounds (DLS) specification, ratified in 1997, allows mobile devices and computer sound cards to expand their wave tables with downloadable sound sets.[130] The DLS Level 2 Specification followed in 2006, and defined a standardized synthesizer architecture. The Mobile DLS standard calls for DLS banks to be combined with SP-MIDI, as self-contained Mobile XMF files.[131]

MIDI 2.0 includes MIDI Capability Inquiry specification for property exchange and profiles, and the new Universal MIDI Packet format for high-speed transports which supports both MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0 voice messages.

Some devices operating MIDI 1.0 can "retrofit" some 2.0 features. Since its release in early January 2020 by the MIDI Manufacturers Association, more details have yet to come out about the new update. Currently there are five components to MIDI such as; M2-100-U v1.0 MIDI 2.0 Specification Overview, M2-101-UM v1.1 MIDI-CI Specification, M2-102-U v1.0 Common Rules for MIDI-CI Profiles, M2-103-UM v1.0 Common Rules for MIDI-CI PE and M2-104-UM v1.0 UMP and MIDI 2.0 Protocol Specification. Other specifications regarding MIDI 2.0 include; allowing the use of 32,000 controllers and wide range note enhancements. These enhancements are made better through the property exchange.[159]

MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI) specifies Universal SysEx messages to implement device profiles, parameter exchange, and MIDI protocol negotiation.[134] The specifications were released in November 2017 by AMEI and in January 2018 by the MMA.

Parameter exchange defines methods for inquiry of device capabilities, such as supported controllers, patch names, instrument profiles, device configuration and other metadata, and to get or set device configuration settings. Property exchange uses System Exclusive messages that carry JSON format data. Profiles define common sets of MIDI controllers for various instrument types, such as drawbar organs and analog synths, or for particular tasks, improving interoperability between instruments from different manufacturers. Protocol negotiation allows devices to employ the Next Generation protocol or manufacturer-specific protocols.[157]

I have Reaper as a DAW it shows Maschine+ as a device for sending midi to, and I have it enabled. I have the midi file itself 'playing' in Reaper and it emits awful sounds when I use the built in Windows midi.

Note I am one that reads manuals, but I have only had the thing for three days now, I have scanned through the manual and found nothing that definitively said you cannot load midi files on to the storage and play them.

Live recording while playing the midi file from another source would be a decent workaround to get the midi to the dt. Just keep in mind the step limitations of the sequencer. Something like a complex arp will probably not get the desired results.

But from the little collection of drum loops I just generated it would be such a great feature I need to request it. I started with a simple drum loop and edited the drums by moving the notes around and listen. First loop simple then it got better and better and finally it was not bad at all. Now I had this idea of getting all the permutations on a long line in reverse order which would mean from simple to complex. I stepped backwards with CTRL+Z and I used the in-line edtor (remember that one?) to watch the notes dance backwards and disappear as I moved towards the big bang of my project. Every now and then I saw a version I liked so I closed the in-line editor and dragged and dropped the MIDI part to a Win folder. Eventually I had 19 MIDI files.

I searched the forum and found some people who had more than 19 files, would you believe it!!! The had bought collections of a few thousand files and wanted to audition them, but not by importing them one at a time.

I just downloaded the evaluation version and attempting to compare the pianos to make my bundle choice. The demo files on the web site are high quality files but unfortunately, the same files are not available for every piano. So rather than ask what pianos to get, I am asking if the midi files for the demo pieces are available for download? If so, where might I find them? Having the midi files will allow one to compare the pianos with the exact same pieces. I know, I should just play the same piece for each one but, I am a relatively new piano player and don't have the skills to produce a quality product. I tried a few "free" midi files, off the Internet, but they all seem to be low quality files. I would like a good warm classical piece, a brighter classical piece, a jazz piece, and perhaps a pop piece of some Disney music or a movie theme.

I thought PTQ6 came with a selection of demo MIDI files (from the File menu) when I first jumped in a couple of years ago... but now I am only seeing the default Blues Demo that loads up automatically. Maybe that's all there ever was, but I was thought there was a few classical pieces as well.

Thank you so much for these links, exactly what I was looking for. There are indeed some very high quality midi files in the Shared Files section of these forums as well. I appreciate everyone's input.

Literally hours of enjoyment there! One thing I forgot to mention is that you may need to adjust the velocity curve to get the best out of them. The e-competition files are fine with 'normal keyboard' setting, but they'll sound just that little bit better with a note-off curve as well (copy and paste the whole of following line into the Velocity Curve sectiion):

Heya. I already did read the VLC wiki page, but the solutions given in it aren't longer reliable since the VLC settings window doesn't show the FluidSynth config page in neither stable or git versions. Calling Fluidsynth as a Linux command outputs .MIDI files in a very bad quality in plus of breaking the audio daemon - each time I do it, I need to relaunch pulseaudio.

I am a bit out of solutions and I really need to use .MIDI files, so how do I do ?

however, not sure its likely for a couple of reasons:

a) getting midi files onto hermod

to be useful this would have to be via the USB drive, as taking the hermod out of the rack, and accessing the sdcard is tedious.

but this means Squarp have to add USB storage support to the usb host port, which seems unlikely.

It would be cool if they did, as would also allow import/export of projects to USB - useful for backup etc.

That is exactly is what could prevent me for buying the unit.

The idea es to work on Hermod mainly, but may be sometimes you can have a midi seq that you worked on your DAW and then want to bring it to the modular world on hermod ( avoiding the whole process of recording from hermod what the DAW is outputting ), and then playing with the sequence or building other sequences on top.
