| That was amazing, really great song & visuals too. Takes me back to the days when you couldn't close the keygen because the midi playing was such a banger. https://keygenmusic.tk/ |

| MIDI songs? I checked, I couldn't find any from the link you posted. Most were different module formats, like XM, Protracker, S3M, Impulse Tracker. Those have nothing to do with midi other than they also produce music. |

MIDI songs was (incorrectly) referring to a style/type of music rather than the transport/protocol we use for sending notes between instruments/devices, or the file format. I'm still since then always assuming the above when someone says "MIDI music"; they really mean "really basic/simple music" or just straight up "chiptune" sometimes. It has nothing to do with MIDI really, just a misnomer. | | |
| ▲ | neonstatic 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | A more appropriate term is "chiptunes". I also heard people refer to it as keygen music. | | |
| ▲ | vardump 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | If it's a tracker module of some kind with very short looping samples, then yeah, it's a chiptune. | | |
| ▲ | teddyh 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | IMHO, a “chiptune” is music for an FM synthesis chip, like on the NES, the SID chip in Commodore 64, or the AdLib sound card for PC. A “mod” or “tracker music” is music made for a range of platforms in a rather narrow time-band, that could play digital samples, but could not reasonably store entire songs recorded digitally, like the Amiga, Atari ST, or early PC’s like 386s or 486s. | | |

| Do you know if someone is hosting these in web radio format so I could stream in a car and such? |
