Earthday

Earthday, also known as EARTHDAY.MID, earthday.mid, or Earthday.mid is a midi file that sounds like a news ident jingle.

It 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 (1:00). It plays at 127 BPM.

Loading this midi file up in certain midi editing software also reveals that it has a cue titled "Earth Day :59", revealing that the song's true title is Earth Day.

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

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

The Earthday midi file found on this CD has a few noticeable differences:
 * The midi file has been converted into an RMI midi file; it has a .rmi extension instead of .mid
 * The "Earthday :59" cue has been removed and has been typed into the Midi Comments instead
 * The three empty tracks have been changed from Channel 16 to Channel 12
 * Five extra unused empty tracks have been added
 * An Out of Tune piano track has been added
 * Synth Brass 2 has been duplicated and has been changed into a Trombone
 * Pad 1 (New Age) has been duplicated and has been changed into a Synth Voice
 * Pad 7 (Halo) has been duplicated and has been changed into Synth Strings 1

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)
