Football

Football, also known as FOOTBALL.MID or Football.mid is an energetic synthesized midi file that was composed by Passport Designs, a company known for composing the popular 90s midi files, Passport & Canyon.

The song lasts for 58 seconds (0:58). It plays at 183 BPM.

Loading this midi file up in certain midi editing software also reveals that it has a cue titled "Football :59".

Packard Bell RMI Version
Another version of Football.mid can be found hidden away on a Packard Bell Microsoft Multimedia Pack for Windows 1.0 CD.

The Football midi file found on this CD has a few noticeable differences:
 * The midi file has been converted into an RMI midi file; it has a .rmi extension instead of .mid
 * The "Football :59" cue has been removed and has been typed into the Midi Comments instead
 * The three empty tracks have been changed from Channel 16 to Channel 12
 * An Out of Tune piano track has been added
 * Both of the Synth Brass 1 instruments have been duplicated. The duplicate has been changed into a Trumpet., and some of the duplicated 2nd Synth Brass 1's notes have been moved to the new Trombone track.
 * The French Horn has been duplicated and has been changed into a Trombone. Some of the notes from the new Trumpet track have been moved into this new duplicate track.
 * The Electric Bass (Finger) has been duplicated, and has been changed into a Slap Bass 2

Listen to Midi
Since the midi file was designed to run on an OPL soundcard such as an OPL3, the midi file will sound drastically different on newer versions of Windows and Emulators since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard.

(Note: If you're using Google Chrome or Opera, the midi files will download instead)
