MIDI Resources for Kansas Fans


Folks, I didn't make these (I'm MIDI-illiterate), but they are very good. If you have stuff to contribute here, please contact me.

Play The Game Tonight, an entirely new version, submitted by Brian Nielsen (PianoBri2@aol.com).

Check out my newly-created Tim Roche archive - check here for my entire collection of Tim Roche Midi creations. These are pretty amazing. Tim is unfortunately off the web now for some indeterminate period of time, and his old archive at AOL has vanished. His masterpieces are reproduced here for you to enjoy.

Chasing Shadows

This is the latest from the prolific Kevan Moore (neveruse@hiwaay.net). Naturally, there is a Cakewalk version for those of you with the software, as well as the General MIDI version.

Dust In The Wind

Very nice general MIDI version by Michael Barrett (baritone@crl.com). Timing and accuracy are quite good on this one.

Carry On Wayward Son

Very nice general MIDI version.

The Spider

General MIDI, origin unknown, moderately accurate.

Paradox (Piano only)

This is just the beginning which wasn't in any songbook. It was transcribed by Dave Blickstein and Jim Humphrey put it in Cakewalk.

Song For America

There are three versions of this work by Kevan Moore (neveruse@hiwaay.net). The first, sfa.wrk, is a file in Cakewalk (tm) format (a cool MIDI program). If you don't have Cakewalk, you can't use it.

The second and third, sfa_0.mid and sfa_1.mid, are general MIDI files for two different setups.

Point of Know Return

The pointof.mid file is a 22k PD general MIDI rendering of PoKR. Written by John Santus, it is in Standard MIDI (Type 1) format. It's not of the level of the SfA version (above), but it's not bad at all.

Note: This sequence can be used with non-GM synths by loading it into a sequencer and re-assigning the Program Change and MIDI Channel data to meet the requirements of your equipment.

Dust In the Wind

The dust_in.mid file is a 16k PD general MIDI rendering of PoKR. Its origin is unknown to me, but it's about the level of the PoKR MIDI.
