Midi files:

Dear Group,

I am enjoying the "7 equal tones" festival we have going. Here is a
site with "coda notation" midi files. Perhaps someone could make
these into 7 et midi files and post them to the 7 et folder. I'd do
it myself but I don't know all the tricks yet.

LOL,

You should try to investigate just a bit further before posting - the AZ Arts site is a database of midi files, so if you go to the right page you can just get midi files, and rather than trying to look at scores already in a notation format you won't have to do any transforming of the files.

For you, or anyone else interested in public domain midi files, here is the database search page from their site:

(note that I have used tinyurl.com to keep a large url address from wrapping)

Let us all also remember that there is a finite amount of room in the files area, though midi files take up almost no room at all (audio files, of differing formats, are another matter).

Cheers,
Jon

Can you tell us which midi file, in particular, you think might make
a good 7-equal piece?

with notation you simply ignore the accidentals to get the result
you want; with only midi files, you won't be able to tell a G# from
an Ab and so the result will be "broken".

Well, if you read what Jim wrote it seems (to me, at least) that he was talking about making midi files directly from Finale/Sibelius score files, and *not* having someone re-enter the pitches in a midi sequencer or something. That being the case, taking the raw midi files - if they have them on the site - would accomplish the task with no effort save for downloading.

Though why anyone would do this is pretty much beyond me - does feeding any old piece into another tuning show anything interesting about the tuning?

Cheers,
Jon
