LOADGM

LOADGM aka Loadgm.mid or LOADGM.MID is a midi file that can be found if a Gravis Ultrasound soundcard and Gravis Ultrasound drivers are installed.

The midi lasts only for 4 seconds (0:04). It plays at 240 BPM.

It is only made up of one piano note, and random drums and sounds. The midi file was likely used for testing out different Gravis Ultrasound soundcards.

The drums that are played in the midi file in order: Interestingly, the single piano note's instrument is set as an Overdriven Guitar, that changes into a Trumpet, and then changes into Pad 1 (New Age), into a Helicopter, and then into Applause.
 * An overlapping Acoustic Bass Drum & Side Kick
 * An overlapping Acoustic Snare and Hand Clap
 * An overlapping Crash Cymbal and Ride Bell
 * An overlapping Cowbell and Tambourine
 * A Vibrastrap
 * An Open High Conga
 * A High Agogo
 * Maracas
 * A Short Guiro
 * An overlapping High Wood Block and Open Cuica
 * An Open Triangle

However, the note never changes from a Grand Acoustic Piano. The reason why this happens is unknown. All versions of this test midi do this, but the instruments that they change into are different. However, LOAD1024 changes instruments more often.

Other Variations of LOADGM

 * LOAD256 - Identical to LOADGM; the only difference is the Piano note changes are different
 * LOAD512 - Identical to LOADGM; no differences
 * LOAD1024 - Has extra drums, and also plays for 3 seconds longer.

Other Notes
LOADGM.MID has a glitch where the drums will load up as out of tune Grand Acoustic Pianos in VLC Media Player, rendering the ability to play the midi file in different soundfonts useless.

Luckily, there is a way to fix this annoying glitch: How To: Fix Glitches in Midi Files using Anvil Studio.

Listen to Midi File
Since the midi file was designed to run on a Gravis Ultrasound soundcard (also known as GUS), the midi file will sound drastically different on Windows and Emulators since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard. Old computers (such as 90s PCs running Windows 95 or Windows 3.0) may use OPL3 soundcards.

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