My question to you is where does one find good quality midi files? I have heard numerous ones that sound like a cheap $100 keyboard from Walmart. While there are others which are very good, but cost money ( on average one midi file costs as much as a whole Cd). Do you find yourself taking the medicore midi files, and spending time on tweaking them? How do they sound on your psr-3000? Realistic?


Thanks;

BN,

There are some good midi file sites out there, and the majority of the midi's on those particular sites can be used as is, or with minimal tweaking. They tend to run anywhere between $6-$9 each, depending on the work. In my opinion, some of these midi's are well worth it, because it must be very time consuming to conjure them up from scratch, especially the ones that sound "just like the record".

The ones you get on the net for free are mainly the ones you end up spending hours on tweaking, changing instrumentation, volume levels, etc. To be honest with you, those, you sweat for!

(BTW, midi files sound awesome on the PSR3000! Why do you think I use an arranger keyboard to play them? I get the best of both worlds this way!)
