A MIDI Archive?
Most of these tracks were not sequenced note by note but played live from MIDI enabled keyboards.  As a result they don't have the quantized computer "clean" sound that most MIDI files have. They carry many subtleties not characteristic of MIDI songs programmed with a sequencer. Many of these tracks may sound fine on your sound card.  There will be some anomalies, however.  They were originally recorded using system exclusive data for the YAMAHA XG MIDI environment.  Unlike other media formats, playback depends on your sound card and the software synthesis you are using.

Below are some live selections recorded with an Alesis MIDI drive that was hooked up to the MIDI piano in church during worship.
They are compressed in zip format.

Software Synth
The sound quality of these MIDIs depends on what kind of sound card you have, if using a hardware synth, or what type of software synth you are using if that is your method of operation.  These songs were created in the Yamaha XG format, which adds additional functionality and tone control to wave table synthesis. However, this additional functionality comes at the expense of causing MIDI files to sound completely different on non-XG systems. MIDI files do not store actual sound information, just instructions about how to recreate it. So every MIDI sounds different on different cards, synths and MIDI interpreters.
