Raptrack

Raptrack, also known as RAPTRACK.MID, Raptrack.mid, Raptrack or Rap is a funky 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 1 minute, 1 seconds (1:01). It plays at 115 BPM.

Loading this midi file up in certain midi editing software also reveals that it has a cue titled "Raptrack 1:02".

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

Oddly, the .mid file found on Passport Designs' website is an earlier version of Raptrack, where the first few notes at the beginning of the midi are absent.

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

The Raptrack 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 "Raptrack 1:02" cue has been removed, & "Raptrack :59" has been added to the Midi Comments
 * The three empty tracks have been changed from Channel 16 to Channel 12
 * Two extra unused empty tracks have been added
 * An Out of Tune piano track has been added, but a glitch prevents it from playing on Windows Media Player 12
 * Three extra notes have been added to the Kalmiba at the beginning of the song
 * The sliders for the volume & balance of the Kalimba have been altered
 * The Kalmiba has been duplicated and has been changed into a Celesta. However, the Celesta has not got the extra notes at the beginning of the song that the original Kalimba has.
 * The Honky-Tonk Piano has been duplicated, with no changes done to the duplicate
 * The Synth Bass 2 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)
