Hi Andrew,

MIDI files contain no audio data. They play back using whatever MIDI instruments the person playing back the file happens to have on their computer (or sound card). It's a like a player piano roll -- it plays back using the sound of whatever player piano you feed it through.

If you want everyone to hear _your_ snazzy MIDI sounds, you must record an audio file and post that to the internet.

the addition of better sounds will be nice. Though I just bought the whole GPO through their group buy :-/


An overall MIDI question I've had for years: If I have a snazzy set of sounds on my computer, create a MIDI file with them, and post it to the internet, will someone listening to that file over the internet hear the same sounds, or just whatever MIDI sounds their own computer has?
