Tune 1000 spent a lot of time and money making those great midi files. Then so many people gave them away to friends, posted them on forums, etc., that it no longer was profitable for them to continue making them. Everyone was getting them free.
Too bad.

I was a Tune 1000 dealer....the only other dealer I knew..was SamAsh music...Selling sequences is a tough business...for every one sold by the company, I would bet, hundreds were copied...
I had a couple of dedicated customers of the Tune 1000 products...I actually stocked the current library at that time....
Jim (Zuki), finally purchased my remaining library (well below my cost)
I usually try to support software developers...I recall trying to market sequences on Keyboard mag adds for a while( a software called "drums on a disk")...it is really tough...
And I have to admit ..I too have shared with friends .. SMF's (Yes even to DonM)
Another great company, was "Hands on music" ..In the 80's they were $13 a song...but were the best...
