Sports

Sports, also known as SPORTS.MID, Sports.mid, Sports1.mid, or Sports is a cheerful, brassy midi file that was composed by Passport Designs, a company known for composing the popular 90s midi files, Passport & Canyon.

The song has a duration time of 29 seconds (0:29). It plays at an inconsistent BPM.

Loading this midi file up in certain midi editing software also reveals that it has a cue titled "Sports #1 1 :29".

The midi file also contains three empty tracks, all set to Channel 16.

Passport Designs' official website also had alternative versions of Sports.mid:

- 109a_Sports_2A.MID - An alternative version of Sports.mid

- 109b_Sports_2Tag.MID - An extra short version of Sports.mid, only being the outro section of the song

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

The Sports midi file found on this CD has a few noticeable differences. However, it is unknown if these differences prove if the .rmi version is newer or older than the .mid version:
 * The midi file has been converted into an RMI midi file; it has a .rmi extension instead of .mid
 * The three empty tracks have been changed from Channel 16 to Channel 12
 * Two extra empty tracks have been added
 * An Out of Tune piano track has been added, but a glitch prevents the piano track from playing on Windows Media Player 12
 * The Brass Section has been duplicated, with no changes done to the duplicate, other than the sliders being altered
 * The Slap Bass 1 has been duplicated, and has been changed into a Slap Bass 2, with the sliders altered
 * The 2nd Distortion Guitar has been duplicated, and has had a few notes transposed, and the sliders slightly altered

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)
