These are the MIDI files of some of my favorite songs I’m using to experiment with a Tone.js project. I borrowed these from the YouTube channels that provided free MIDI files. I do not own any of them. With that said, here is the list of sources where these files were collected from.
886222111111111As I mentioned earlier, I am collecting midi files to work with a Tone.js extension. The more diversity we get, the better. This is why I need your help.
If you encounter freeware or shareware midi, you can contribute to this project. Place the .mid file to midi directory.
You also need to put an entry to sources.json file to save the original sources. The JSON file is structured like the one below.
{
"sources": {
[key]: [value],
...
},
"songs": [
...
]
}
Use the following object shape in the songs key:
{
"songs": [
{
"title": "${song_title}",
"artists": {
"${artist_name_1}": "${artist_link_1}",
["${artist_name_2}": "${artist_link_2}"],
...
},
"source": {
"Official Lyric Video": "${link}",
["Official Music Video": "${link}"],
["Official Audio": "${link}"],
["Official NCS Release": "${link}"],
["${provider_or_channel_name}": "${link}"],
...
},
"midi": {
"${provider_or_channel_name}": ["${link}", "by"],
...
},
"sheets": {
"${provider_or_channel_name}": ["${link}", "by"],
...
}
}
]
}
${property_or_value} are variables and would be replaced manually with their appropriate meaning.
The properties of artists can have null value if there is no direct link.
sheets can be a boolean or an object.
["property": "value"] entries are optional, yet all keys are required to have at least one object, as shown.
If the source doesn’t exist in the sources key, you might put an entry after its name:
{
"sources": {
"${provider_or_channel_name}": "${link}",
...
}
}
We rename the *.mid files using the following outline…
${source_acronym}_${artists}_${title}.mid
…and it is done so we can skim through the list, knowing where to look for.
media/*.mid) belong to their original authors as listed in the Songs table. I am using these for a Tone.js project for educational purposes that falls under the terms of fair use.
