Re the Jazz sequencer, It is a very basic sequencer, and it has its uses. For a beginner it may be just the job. But it also has several drawbacks and some problems. You have seen people complain about the time it sometimes takes to load files. If you examine such a file in another sequencing program you often find that Jazz has inserted 100 or more tracks, most of them just containing a single piece of unnecessary MIDI data. It can also shuffle carefully spaced out data all to the same point in a file. (I'm talking here about instrument set up). It has a rather low MIDI timing resolution. Just 192ppqn. Most good ones offer 384, 480 or even higher. If you don't understand my post please ask and I'll gladly explain. Please don't be shy!  It was only a few years ago that all of this was a mystery to me. I wasn't born understanding MIDI you know! Please ask your questions in the "technical questions" or my "MIDI basics" section. Regards, JohnG. |

Please ask your questions in the "technical questions" or my "MIDI basics" section. Regards, JohnG. Well said, John. I'd like to keep this topic on the subject being discussed, so if the Jazz sequencer topic could be taken elsewhere that would be most helpful. Thank you. |

Maybe the "gestapo" should invite Midi Magic,Bandtrax,Trycho and all the rest to join the forum. Get them to check the midi site links and our request filled section and see how many others are floating in Cyberspace. I guess that's all folks.Yibby Yibeda. I have no problem with members expressing opinions in a reasonable manner but ill thought out remarks such as these comparing other members of this forum to a Nazi organisation is totally uncalled for and utterly contemptible. |

Trycho, a good producer of MIDI files IMHO is no more it seems. Put out of business by people stealing his sequences. One less source of files for us all. His tactics were overbearing in the extreme to be sure, but isn't he allowed to try protect himself against theft? Your choice of name is much appreciated. I love to be compared to a regime that put millions to death in labour camps, by gassing, experiments on children and other crimes against humanity. Just in case you believe me I should add that the exact opposite is true (appreciating the name). But I won't descend to name calling. Perhaps if that is the best you can manage you shouldn't bother posting in future? I really don't see how warning other people that the files they have paid to download are not originals, but copies of commercial files, and that they could be open to lawsuit by the original owners, compares to Nazism. Should someone be allowed to profit from selling stolen goods? From your post I take it you think it is fine to take thousands of files from others, claim them for one's own, and charge other people to access them? Well, I don't! Neither it seems do many others. Neither do I think it is okay to take money from my account without first asking me. Do you? JohnG. |

May i in the interest of good taste and just plain old common decency, ask that any comments being made should be aimed at the proven problem and not descend into name calling, especially of MM site members that have paid their subscriptions and because they have, they do have an absolute right to question and demand answers to all the allegations that have been made. I for 1 don`t feel that i am doing or asking anything that a reasonable answer couldn`t solve and can i just point out that the Gestapo made the answers fit the crime and not the other way round.

I've alway's had a good relationship with midimart....however this didn't surprise me. In 1992 i purchased a disk from roland company called best of guess who and Bto. These songs have appeared on many sites including midimart.net. its a shame really but if u remember the big hub bub and the separation of certain members to a site called free for all midi's... or something like that.... this was one of there claims... Paul harrison i believe was the person involed with creating that other site. anyway's.... Hi everyone...  |

Paul harrison i believe was the person involed with creating that other site. anyway's.... Hi everyone... Hi Baden, looking back, some of the members were 100% right to feel aggrieved knowing what we know now and this did indeed lead to a breakaway forum being set-up by the two Pauls. However, Paul Harrison should not be seen as a savior for that uprising, which was proven after members of his new site sent him countless files for him to upload which he duly didn't, so in his case it was the pot calling the kettle black and he is, IMO, in the same league as Glenn when it comes to his interest in members happiness. In the case of everyone else involved i can certainly see now why they felt as they did and hope they will come back to the fold eventually. |

I guess it's a paradoxical situation, or should that be ironic? I can never tell ;D Anyway, it's great to see the membership coming on and discussing this, and as you mention the old ones are also turning up, which is especially nice to see: the likes of Musicman and Ironbaden, for example  |

there is one point that no-one has asked yet!!! where do we get the midi files from now!! and are they safe!!(well thats 2 questions). I know of a good site(Dutch) which has about 7000 midi files all free!! If the Admin want the addy of this site to check it out first!! i can provide it!! and a sample of files can be downloaded first and checked by our technical team!!.If everything is OK!! then this could be in some way some compensation for all our members seeking midi,s!! Without any cost!!..............Steve

That's a good question. My personal take is this. Providing a link to an external site that provides free access to MIDI files is one thing. A link to a site that charges for access files that have allegedly been altered to give the impression the site owner is responsible for them is another.
So, if you wish to supply a link to a site that has free MIDI files please do so and if it later transpires that there are issues with said site we can deal with them then. Everything is done in good faith until otherwise known.

OK here,s the link!! i,ll let you put it where you think it is best.when the site opens look down the left side and click on Meespelen/zingen,this takes you to the .kar/midi downloads!! there are quite a lot of programs that can convert .kar to midi,but it,s worth a look!! www.ontdekdemuziek.nl/ |

Thats a great Dutch site with some midis I have not seen anywhere else. It has the greatest version of Israelites by Desmond Decker I have heard on midi. Thanks for sharing the site with us.
