For those who are unfamiliar with MIDI (Musical-Instrument Digital Interface), a word about playing .midi files:
A midi music file is a set of digital instructions designed to be read by a computer, which renders the information with the available instrument samples in its system. These files are not encoded with actual audio information like in ordinary audio CD's, .wav or .mp3 files. The file contains no music information, only the digital information required to render a musical composition by your computer is present. To fully enjoy the music, we recommend a good-quality sound card along with a range of instrument samples which are affordably priced. We also recommend good speakers or head phones for best results. Without these a midi rendering is likely to sound very thin and flat, and the instruments will sound as if they are plastic toys. With a good sound card, speakers or headphone, and optional audio software which can even enable one to specify the acoustic environment (to sound like a selection is being played in a large symphonic hall, for example) a composition rendered in midi can sound almost as rich and dynamic as a real orchestra. We encourage you to upgrade your system to fully enjoy these very special compositions by Adolf Schaller, based on science and nature themes.
