Town

Town, also known as Town.mid is a midi file found within the Windows Media folder on most modern-day Windows OSes. It can be found alongside Flourish.mid and Onestop.mid.

The midi file was composed by Nathan Grigg, who also composed Flourish.mid and possibly its earlier prototype, IE4CHAN.mid

It is a groovy and funky melody that lasts for 1 minute, 19 seconds (1:19). The song plays at 120 BPM.

Unlike Onestop and Flourish, this is the only midi file found among them that  doesn't  utilize "Program Change", where a single channel can change an instrument.

The earliest build of Windows that this midi file can be found is Windows ME, in the Windows/Media Folder where Passport.mid, Canyon.mid & the RMI Classical Midis used to be.

Since then, Town.mid has been on all builds of Windows from Windows ME-Windows 11.

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

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