MPCMID

MPCMID, also known as MPCMID.MID or Multimedia PC Demo Midi is a midi file mostly composed of a low-pitched Timpani-like sounds & a Grand Acoustic Piano that was discovered by MrXnews2; it is located in a folder called “MPC” as part of the Multimedia PC demonstration.

MPCMID.MID was composed in 1990 by Voyetra Technologies, the same company who feature the Creative Labs Midi Files, such as Reggae.mid.

The song lasts for 3 minutes, 54 second (3:54). The song plays at 100 BPM.

Sadly, since then, MrXnews2 never uploaded the midi file to Music Curios upon discovery and eventually, the website went down, along with its midi files. Luckily, Music Curios has since come back online, but no MPCMID.MID has been uploaded.

But on 5th April 2020, a Wikia user named AlifFromSamarinda25 (Alif Maharendra Sihombing) uploaded the file to MIDIs Wiki, recovering the long lost midi file.

However, for some strange reason, the actual midi file's timpani-like sound is quieter than the one on the MrXnews2's YouTube video. It is unknown if this is a glitch, or if the midi file got emulated differently.

Oddly, MPCMID is one of the only midi files found on a Windows 3.0 that doesn't have an out of tune piano track.

However, the six Applause tracks (responsible for the timpani-like sounds) are actually duplicate drum tracks that have somehow turned into Applause instruments using Channel 16.

Reggae.mid shares this same trait, having an Applause Track on Channel 16, which are actually a duplicate drum track. Reggae also happens to be another Voyetra Technologies midi file.

Instruments
Applause 6x

Acoustic Grand Piano 2x

Drums (Standard Kit) 6x
