MIDI NET CD-ROM
An ISO-9660 format CD-ROM containing everything MIDI for ALL Platforms
Developed by Kevan R.Craft and Gareth R.Craft of MIDICraft
in Association with Active Software UK
The MIDICraft MIDI NET CD-ROM produced and developed over a single year
period by Amiga MIDI wizards Kevan R.Craft and Gareth R.Craft in
association with Active Software.. MIDI NET is a CD-ROM containing over 1Gb
of MIDI music files and related software with reference to the Amiga but
MIDICraft have ensured that at least 50% of the material was developed for
the PC and MIDI synth user as well..
MIDI NET CD-ROM contains a staggering 5000 Music-X Performance files which
where possible have been converted to Standard MIDI File (SMF) format.. On
the MIDI NET CD-ROM we have strived to convert as much quality material as
possible and this goes for OctaMED MIDI MODS.. Additionally, we have also
kept the original files thereby ensuring that there's a large cache of
various file formats on the CD-ROM to suit all tastes.. All files are
General MIDI (GM) configured except the large data base for the Korg i-
Series Workstations which included Music-X, SMF, Voices, patches, Backing
Sequences, Songs and hundereds of styles..
The file structure in the Amiga partition of the MIDI NET CD-ROM include:-
Music-X "Control Track" Performance format Music-X Performance file format 1
Music-X Sequence file format 0 Standard MIDI Files (SMF) format 0 and 1
OctaMED MMD1, MMD2 and Sound Studio MODs in General MIDI (GM) and some that
use samples Bars and Pipes Song formats Dr. T's KCS ALL formats Professional
Protracker MODS
Song files
A large cache of song files for the Korg i-Series and X-Series
Workstations!
SynthVoice files
A large cache of many manufacturers synthesizer voices in SMF (MID), SYSEX
and specific file format.. Music-X Protocols and voice libraries for a
plethora of synthesizers, Dr. T's X-Or and MIDIQuest patches, voices and
programs for many synthesizers..
Korg i-Series Interactive Music Workstations (i2/i3/i4S/i5M and i5S)
A Large data base for the Korg i-Series Interactive Music Workstation
containing Standard MIDI Files (SMF), Songs, Program data, Arrangement
data, Backing Sequencer data, and a huge library of style data ready to
load including styles in SMF format for easy editing..
Korg X-Series data bank
This bank contains 6 MSDOS disks worth of song and program data for the
Korg X2, X3 and X3R Workstation synth..
Synth Editors and Libarian Software
There's a whole host of applications supported in this archive for the
Amiga and PC platforms which include Generic and specific synth
manufacturers Editor and Librarian software packages authored by users
themselves which include example files ready to go..
MIDI
A Large data base of ASCII releated documentation on the subject of MIDI
and recording artists..
Plus many associated files and documentation which accompanies the above
file formats..
MIDICraft Magazine the disk mag for Amiga musicians
All 10 issue of the MIDICraft Magazine, MIDICraft Sample disks and Special
disks are archived in DMS format just waiting to be unarchived..
Where possible, the majority of Amiga utilities, documents, magazines,
demos and music files have been archived using LHA or DMS.. The same files
for the PC have been archived using the popular ZIP method all of which is
conducive for the Internet..
Here's some of the famous musicians represented on this MIDI NET CD-ROM
some of which kindly donated their musical work for inclusion on this
classic CD-ROM:-
The Craft Brothers
Bjørn Lynne
Rob Hubbard
Allister Brimble
Asif Ali (previously in Abfinoosty) now in the band Storm
4-Mat
Romeo Knight
Neil Storey
Seppo Hurme
Sue Watson
Richard Bannister
AEvolution
Stuart Fox
and many, many more besides..
Plus the MIDI NET CD-ROM contains vitually the history of classical and
popular music in both Music-X Performance file and Standard MIDI File (SMF)
formats which is well represented - probably the most comprehensive MIDI
music file collection in the World!
If you would like to actually buy your own personal copy of the MIDI NET
CD-ROM then this of course will be available in Aug 1996 from Active
Software and most CD-ROM vendours for a RRP of £24.99. The majority of the
CD-ROM's directory and file structure is fully documented in ASCII and
there are accompanying readme docs for the different archived files
presented in a similar manner just like AMINET.. There's also an AmigaGuide
linked to all files in the AMIGA directory and this has been duplicated in
html format files for other PC and other platforms..
Again, the CD-ROM will be available to buy in Nov-Dec 1996, for more details
