FOLKS

FOLKS, also known as FOLKS.MID, or Folks is one of the 16 demo midi files found on a Korg MicroARRANGER electric keyboard.

It lasts for 1 minute, 32 seconds (1:32).

It plays at 139 BPM.

Strangely, some midi editing software (such as Anvil Studio) don't render the drums correctly, resulting in them being quiet, and then becoming loud at random times; because of this, the drums get drowned out by the other instruments. The reason why this happens is unknown.

This midi file has the same feature as Onestop.mid, being able to change instruments on a single track. However, track 2, one of the tracks being able to do this isn't used; the instruments that appear in this unused slot are an Accordion, a Muted Trumpet, a Tenor Sax, a Flute and a Harmonica. There are also eight Acoustic Grand Piano tracks, but six of them go unused; only two Acoustic Grand Piano tracks get used, one of which is out of tune (most likely to be an extra drumkit that the keyboard can only use).

However, track 5 can change from Synth Strings 1 into String Ensemble 1, and is used.

Since the format of the keyboard's demo songs are .mid files, they can be played on any MIDI playing devices. The midi files can be downloaded in a .zip file from this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lhGayNLT_k

Listen to Midi
FOLKS.MID was originally designed for use as a demo midi on a Korg MicroARRANGER keyboard; it will sound drastically different on any other midi playing devices, such as a Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, the default soundcard on modern Windows OSes.

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