Update Archive

Welcome to the Update Archive! View any older updates to the MIDIs Wiki here:

December 25th 2019

 * Natty23 (the founder and creator of MIDIs Wiki) has listed more information about the Publisher98 midi files - They have other official names.
 * The final Christmas midi file from Project Britain Online Advent Calendar Midis collection has been added, making the Advent Calendar collection completed.

December 26th 2019
The main MIDIS Wiki page has been rearranged:
 * The updates have been moved under "Requests" on the main page. This is where people can list down information about what midi pages they want to see.
 * "Helping MIDIs Wiki" and "Categories on this Wiki" have been moved up, so visitors can now find categories easier.
 * The Publisher98 MIDI Files category can now be found under Microsoft Clipart MIDIs, since they did appear in the Clipart search pane.
 * "The Categories on this Wiki" section has been updated - New midi categories have been listed, such as Seasonal Midis.

December 29th 2019

 * The ExPage MIDIs category is completed, but all of them (except for toy1) do not have midi files to download or listen to.
 * A new, completed category of hidden midis have been added: Windows 98 Hidden MIDIs. These can be found hidden in a driver on a Windows 98 SE CD.

January 18th 2020

 * Some more pages for the Microsoft Office Clipart and Publisher98 midi files have been added. More of these midis are soon to come!

January 31st 2020

 * The first ever comment ever made outside of the Anonymous User who edits this wiki has just appeared on Onestop's page!

February 1st 2020

 * Some more pages will be added to the wiki today. I will mostly be adding more Gravis Ultrasound Midi pages though, since a midi file from there has become a popular page recently. There is also very interesting information about THE_RAIN that not many know about too.

February 9th 2020

 * The Gravis Ultrasound Category has been completed!

March 13th 2020

 * A new editor with the username UTFEight has been fixing typos and adding remixes of midis that were not known about. A special thanks to anyone who contributes to this wiki.
 * The anonymous user who edits this wiki - I haven't been editing this wiki recently; I have been busy doing other things. But, as soon as I can get some time, I will add some new pages, and finish some unfinished categories.

March 26th 2020

 * Added more pages to some unfinished categories
 * Added a new category: Non-Computer Midis. It contains midi files not found on computers, or software for computers.

April 1st 2020

 * Another new anonymous user left a comment on the Reggae.mid page with some new information: The Applause track in the midi file is actually a drum track, which, due to modern midi playing software and hardware not being able to support, turns the extra drum track into an Applause track. He/she also says that this is how the Out of Tune piano tracks appear in older midi files. This new information will be added to the Glitches page and on the Reggae.mid page.
 * The Hidden Midis and Software Midis categories had a cleanup - Midis that are part of a collection have been taken down from the categories, but their categories, such as the Gravis Ultrasound Midis, can now be found in there.
 * Many more Publisher98 midi files have been added, and now have video links

April 2nd 2020

 * The information related to the Out of Tune Piano tracks has been added in all related pages and on the glitches page.
 * Unfortunately, any pages with midi download links under the thewaitingroom url are dead. They will be removed today. I will be looking for some mirrors. On the other hand...


 * Good news! Music Curios, MrXNews' website is back! This means that those long lost midi files will be available again, and some missing midi files can be added!
 * Finally finished the Windows 3.0 Multimedia Extensions Midis category, but they needed fixing thanks to thewaitingroom going down
 * Update on replacing dead links: I've managed to recover every midi file except for the alternative version of Stomp; everything has a replacement link, but Alternative Passport and Alternative Canyon are currently using their Wayback Machine mirrors. Should thewaitingroom come back online (like Music Curios did), then the files will get archived, in case it goes down again. But if not, then the .zip file from Music Curios will have to do...
 * To avoid problems like this in the future, there is now a Pages with Dead Links category. If you find a page with broken links that lead to 404 pages, put the page into this category!

April 4th 2020

 * A new category for Popular Midis can now be found on this wiki. It is useful for quickly finding well-known midi files, such as Onestop, or PINBALL.
 * The dead links are gone, but from now on, extra precautions are going to be taken: Everytime a link is added, an archive.org version of it will be added. Any midi file that uses a Wayback Machine link or archive.org link is already archived, so they will not be changed.
 * The Updates area is getting quite cluttered, so in future, they will be an Update Archive page listed here. Some older Updates will be moved there in future. This will also apply to the Requests area, which will be getting a Requests Archive for any fulfilled requests.
 * The old Passport Designs website has been recovered on Wayback Machine, along with their midi files. There's 426 of midi files by Passport Designs! A small number of links have been listed on the Passport Designs Midis category.
 * A Statuses area has been added below the Requests area. This currently shows the current progress on each requested midi category or midi page. It has the following statues: Completed, Incomplete, Not Started, and Unable to Complete

April 5th 2020

 * A user called AlifFromSamarinda25 (Alif Maharendra Sihombing) has uploaded .mid files for DAISY, THECAKE & MPCMID; the comments (midi information), instruments and the .mid links have been added to these pages.
 * A Credits area has been added to the main MIDIs Wiki page to list people who have helped out this wiki.
 * The Updates Archive page is now available, due to the updates exceeding the limit of 10.

April 6th 2020

 * Once again, AlifFromSamarinda25 (Alif Maharendra Sihombing) has uploaded more .mid files. This time, they are Transportation, Tech Underscore & all the Microsoft Clipart Christmas Midis! (sincere apologies to anyone who is superstitious about Christmas stuff being early; it had to be done.)
 * The Publisher98 Category is almost complete; only five pages need to be added, and eleven are being done up with more information.
 * More work has been done on this wiki: A list of Other Soundcards has been put on Onestop, Flourish (& its counterpart, IE4CHAN), Town, Passport, Canyon, Clouds, PINBALL & all the Publisher98 midis.
 * When adding "Sad/Depressing" to the Sort by Feeling category, the Wiki glitched out and nearly corrupted thanks to a glitch. Now that would've been depressing! O_O Anyone who is editing a page or category on this wiki must beware of this Wikia-killing glitch; the warning signs are a message saying that there is an "Edit Conflict". DON'T save anything if this occurs, and either refresh the page, or move to another page to remove the glitch.

April 7th 2020

 * The Publisher98 Midi Collection has finally been completed! The request will be moved to the Request archive on April 14th 2020.
 * A new category for midi files that change instruments on a single channel (like Onestop can) has been created; Midis with Program Change.
 * Pictures showing the Hidden Midi files hidden in the Media folder on different Windows OSes have been added to the Media Folder Midis Category

April 8th 2020

 * A new wikia editor known as 1033Forest has been adding the BPM and tempo to some of the pages on this wiki.

April 12th 2020

 * Special thanks to 1033Forest for adding a midi file from a videogame, Snood, and to AlifFromSamarinda25 (Alif Maharendra Sihombing) for uploading the midi files for the Microsoft clipart midis, Mystery music & Hallelujah.

April 13th 2020

 * A category for pages that lack both Instrument and Midi Comments has been added. It's called: Pages needing Information

April 14th 2020

 * Once again, AlifFromSamarinda25 (Alif Maharendra Sihombing) has uploaded more .mid files for pages that haven't got a .mid file yet.
 * Natty23 's request for the Publisher98 Midi Files has been moved to the Requests Archive
 * Some pages for Midi Websites have been on the Popular Pages list. More people have been visiting and contributing to MIDIs Wikia much more, recently. Special thanks to all who visit and edit MIDIs Wiki!

May 1st 2020

 * On the 30th April, a new comment from NigelTFK appeared on Midis WIki!
 * There have been a lot of changes on this wiki; pages are having Videos lists, and BPM information added to them. This is a big chore, though, considering how many pages don't have this information yet. It could take a few days, or even a full month before this is all done.
 * All of the Intl_?? Corel Midis have had .mid files added on to them via an archive.org link that Natty23 has provided. This means that, from now on, all midis that are not currently found anywhere online will be archived into internet history, in case all links leading to the current .mid files go offline.
 * A request has been added below regarding the missing .mid file for the alternative version of Stomp.mid

May 7th 2020

 * An editor named SpaceFanatic64 added an obscure midi file by Voyetra Technologies: AMEDLEY. It is similar to Onestop, being able to change genres.
 * Some work has been started on the Voyetra Technologies Midi Category. Also, the Voyetra AudioStation Sample Midis collection has all of its pages listed, but has no .mid files, and missing information.

June 18th 2020

 * On the 27th May 2020, an anonymous user fixed a grammar error on the Canyon page, removing an unnecessary "also".
 * Rearranged the Main Page of Midis Wiki; it is now easier to find the listed categories, instead of having to scroll down to find them
 * Fixed an error on the CARBN_01 page; it had the wrong link, which loads up/downloads VCTRN_01 instead of the correct one. It now works
 * Fixed a minor mistake in the Publisher98 Midis category; PARNT_04 was listed after PARNT_10, instead of being before PARNT_05 & after PARNT_03.
 * An FAQ page has been added

June 21st 2020

 * AlifFromSamarinda25 uploaded more Voyetra Midi files, allowing the Voyetra Midi collection to be completed! Thank you!

June 25th 2020

 * Fixed some errors related to the spelling of certain Voyetra Audiostation midis; the ones with misspelled titles have been redirected to corrected pages.
 * The Voytera Audiostation category is complete! Thank you, AlifFromSamarinda25!

June 27th 2020

 * Thanks to another anonymous user, the identity of REVERIE.MID has been confirmed; it is "Kinderszenen No. 7 - Träumerei" by  Robert Schumann! The page has been updated to include the new information & replace the incorrect information.

June 28th 2020

 * AlifFromSamarinda25 has uncovered a 1992 prototype version of groove, & unreleased updated versions of island & hellomyb that have been lost in time. The information & .mid links have been added to their wiki pages.

29th June 2020

 * Guess what? MrXnews himself came on to this wiki and added information to the IBMRALLY, Hellomyb, Music Curios, HOLIDAY and FALL4YOU pages! :) He has also added a new wiki page about the Roland SC-55 Demo midi, Lagoon! However, the page is currently a stub. This will be edited in the future.

July 9th 2020

 * Completed the new midi page created by MrXnews2 - Thank you!
 * Unfortunately, some pages had some edits done to them that made the Instrument areas less clear; Any "2x" means that there's more than the same instrument, and "Standard Kit" means that the drums are default, and not any other; who ever has been editing the pages recently, please don't change that. Any pages that have been edited from 8th July - July 9th has had changes reverted back.

July 20th 2020

 * Mrxnews added a new page: Maxpages.com. He has added a page about the website, and a list of midis from that website. While there is currently no midi collection category for it yet, Maxpages.com is similar to Expage.com and their midi files.
 * Mrxnews added more information to the Music Curios page, his midi website.
 * The anonymous user who deleted the instrument information on the 9th July 2020 struck again, doing the same thing as they did last time; removing the "2x" tags that mean that there's two of the same instrument, and changing the names of the instruments (the standard drumkits, for example); the instruments appear with these names on most midi editing software, and doesn't need changing.
 * Removed the links in the introduction of the main page for Passport & Onestop

July 29th 2020

 * YoshiLightStar uploaded a video proving that Flourish.mid was indeed used as a DirectX test song in Windows 2000 as of DirectX9c! Also, the same video includes an OPL3 version of Flourish as a bonus. Please enjoy the first video uploaded to this wiki! :)
 * That same video has been added to to the Flourish.mid page. It has also changed the thumbnail of the Flourish.mid page from a blue book logo to the video thumbnail. It actually makes it stands out more, too.
 * Made all the names in the Special Credits section bold for easier reading
 * Made mentioned names in bold in both the Updates section & the Update Archive!

August 1st 2020

 * A new comment has appeared on the CMNTY_01 page! Here it is: https://midis.fandom.com/wiki/CMNTY_01#comm-2708
 * A category about ESPIOKaos.com, a defunct Sonic-midi website has been added. This will eventually list all of the rescued midi files from there! The new category can be found in both the Old Website Midis & Internet Midis categories. However, this is a long list of midi files (even more than the Passport Designs Midi category), so this may take a long time to finish with other midi categories still being a work-in-progress.
 * Added more information about the Passport Designs Midis - videos, .mid links, and even proof that these midis could also be found on Packard Bell CDs as .rmi files.

August 4th 2020

 * More Packard Bell CD & Passport Design midi files have been added...because it turns out that a majority of those Packard Bell rmis are actually Passport Designs midis files!
 * The Passport Designs category now has an entire history about how Passport Designs were the kings & queens of Windows midis in the late 90s, and how both Passport & Canyon actually outlived their company thanks to Microsoft Windows.
 * Added two more ESPIOKaos.com midis to the ESPIOKaos.com Midis category

2021
Sorry, no updates here; this year hasn't even started yet! We NEED 2021 to come around already!!!
