If I'm ever asked "what did the 90's sound like," I will send them this link. Sooooo much comfort food here, my soul is full. Thank you for assembling this album! 🙏
Anyone else just imagine themselves rocking out to this in 1999? While still during early Christmas days when Bratz commercials and lalalala polly and hot wheels commercials played all the time during 12 days of Nickmas on Nickelodeon... yeah...I do
these tracks have no right to be this criminally underrated while sounding so GOOD! (ok I edited this part so the comment would say this) It amazes me how such midi tracks slap so hard yet they came from old pieces of software from back in the day that probably not many people know about or was even hidden in windows! I don't know who composed these but they're highly underrated and I would really like to know who they are
I assume these tracks (at least the 3.0 and 95 ones) were intended to show off the capabilities of midi technology and test sound cards, so it makes sense they'd sound better than average.
Important to remember however, that midi files only contain note, velocity and sustain (etc.) information, so they can sound vastly different depending what sound engine is used to play them. They didn't sound like this on early soundcards of the era. We can hear good quality stereo reverb on the renderings in this video, not something you would have heard in 1990 out of your basic 16-bit sound card.
11:12 - Passport was my favorite... I remember playing this on the background playing games on my Windows 95 computer on those boring Saturdays... Memories!
Holy shit. Born in 1987 here and this instantly took me back to 1994 with my first computer - starting with Windows 3.1, onto 95 and beyond. I didn’t know these were stored in my brain but apparently they are and it’s weirddddd.
Windows XP was the epitome of what windows operating systems have ever been. Of course they push the idea that they made their systems more user-friendly today ... No they made them much more restrictive for what people can actually do themselves with a PC. I used to be a geek of sorts cut my teeth with a hand me down apple 2 when I was in first grade from windows 95 through Windows XP I was getting a good grasp of the tech that was in front of me. I was learning just enough to get me into trouble. Knowledge is power 🍻 But they changed all that! The ease of learning of the world of computer programming is no longer easily obtainable by the average individual and they made it that way. The back door of tinkering with computer programming in a personally owned computer has been removed and next to impossible to tamper with.😭
I have to thank CS188 for the recent MIDI rabbit hole I have been going down into (starting with Passport.MIDI)! These tracks honestly beat anything that gets produced by the modern music industry and it really is a shame that Microsoft haven't made any more since!
Win 95 - my first meeting with classic music. I was a curious child and suddenly discovered these files inside folders. It was magnificent. Natural high. First love to music.
The other MME MIDIs have me floored by their phenomenal quality! Love them or hate them, Microsoft was really cool until 2001, having a genuine slice of life to their software. What other graphical environment comes with general-purpose music to get down to? Maybe some bits of OS/2 Warp, but not much else!
I’d say until 2003. Their support was largely still on shore and HELPFUL. During XP service pack 2 was when things DISTINCTLY changed. Everything was black and white, customer service was off shore and unable to offer the help that in country techs can, and everything got much more frustrating.
I heard a lot of these in various Doom Wads. Thought the only one I can clearly remember hearing myself and not in a Doom Wad for the 1st time is The Brandenburg Concerto from Win 95, my older brother liked that one and now it brings chills to me, memory wibes for sure! Gonna download this collection for sure, great stuff!
I've always thought that the intro of that song has a similar motif to "Tubular Bells" from the 1973 movie, "The Exorcist." They are not exactly the same but when I first heard "One Stop," I couldn't help feeling that I'd heard it somewhere before.
Canyon, Passport and One Stop have always been my favourite midi's. Jazz1 reminds me a bit of the 90s Sesame Street credits. Town, while not exactly the same, reminds me of the Flying King & Level Ate music from Earthworm Jim 2 game. I don't recall ever hearing the other midis until now.
I shouldve commented this 3 years ago but the music in the old Windows where so good. I remember i kept playing the "Flourish.mid" song alot before when i used my Grandpas old computer. It was so good
I used to listen to this (for whatever reason) and it became a frequently visited tab, now, every time I put in 'y' for youtube, this shows up, every time I go to youtube, this video opens. This, for the past year and a half I think has been something I see daily. I will never change this.
I put together a compilation like this and uploaded a few years back. I did not know I was missing a decent amount. Looks like I am going to have to update my folder with some of your files.
I was 12 and I had my first second hand music Keyboard Roland E96 with floppy disk interface, it was GM compatible. I was hungry to find as many midi to play as possible. The discover of these files on my win98 made me so happy 😀
you missed a fiew files berried in the windows98 cd, in the chanels folder I think, they are related to the short lived channels feature. they are: loony.mid, looneyto.mid (looney tunes theme) pooh03.mid (winny the pooh theme) animania.mid (piano rendition of the animaniacs theme) batman.mid (Batman theme, specificly the danny elfman one) btas.mid (insidental music from the adventures of batman and robbin, the filename reflects the fact it was also known as Batman the animated series) hunting.mid (a hunting we will go, I think that midi was dun by brent baily of deverci tune) er.mid (e.r. tv series theme)
I think I've found them. Seems like someone uploaded most of them to a website called bitmidi.com, and I found the Looney Tunes theme on a Tripod MIDI archive last updated in 1998 that's giving me an intense nostalgia trip. Anyway, I zipped them up and uploaded them to my Dropbox. www.dropbox.com/s/wm57rm8cdzn31mt/lostmidi.zip?dl=1
I used to use PCs going back to Windows 3.1, but I didn't know much about the prebuilt songs until now basically. These are genuinely good, and not even in an ironic way. Too much of that vaporwave music is just slowed down nonsense but this is the real deal!
4:51 wait ! You mean this track inspired Drives Me Crazy by Five young Cannibals in released 88 ? (Sorry I have no idea who copied who ???) OK, I checked, Window 3.1 is from 1990, so they took inspiration from this 1988 song I think
Not sure if you knew, there's actually two versions of Canyon.mid. The early version is bugged with percussions on a second channel as well as channel 10. The later version fixed it. (If your version of canyond.mid actually came from 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions, then your synthesizer luckily discarded the bugged track. Sadly FM synthesizers like used on SoundBlaster's or Adlib's attempt to play it with a piano sound and it just sounds like a droning sound basically.)
Actually, all MIDIs from Windows 3.0 and 3.1 come with a low volume duplicate of the drums in channel 16 with a piano patch (so yeah, it's a piano playing the MIDI notes for the drums), plus some instrument duplicates in channel 13, 14 and 15. SEASONS.MID has some sax in those channels and it sounds pretty bad if your synth actually play them. The versions of CANYON.MID and PASSPORT.MID included in Win95 onward (or was it Win98? I don't remember) completely removed channels 13 to 16, so it gives me the impression that none of the Windows 3.0 MIDI files were made with those channels in mind and they were included solely for the purpose of them being played on a specific synth or something? I don't know, I'm just theorizing here. I made some tests on an SC-55 and actually they sound better without those channels, with them, they start drowning the drums in the mix.
Just a couple things I want to correct: - The Windows XP midi files first appeared in Windows Me. - Pinball technically first appeared as part of Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95, and didn't actually become part of the OS until Windows NT 4.0. Otherwise, great video!
I've never actually listened to Canyon all the way to the end before. It was quite uplifting. I conjured images of fat white business men wearing light blue shirts and dancing in the sunbeams from the venetian blinds in a blissful reverie of achieving goals and high fiving each other. Then the song ends on a blurp noise... Then a little bell goes ting! A thing of mysterious strangeness.
I was wondering where did I got Flourish, Town and One Stop midi files. Apparently I just took them from my Windows XP install, lol I've had them for more than a decade, and thanks to you I know from where I got them. Thanks!!!!!
Glad I checked again for something like this. I knew last time I looked was before 2020, also I downloaded from the link and the files(once converted) sound better in the download version,the versions on the youtube video(at least Canyon) seem to have some kind of echo or reverb sound to them
I still have midi from my old windows xp, only I didn't know it was from the actual PC, all this time I thought they were just some random midis I downloaded
I put both Flourish and IE4CHAN together in Audio Evolution, Mixed it down, and uploaded it on ROBLOX for the background music for my place called Oasis Daindune Atrium.
I left a comment on this a year ago and listening to these again, It might be just me, but the Someband.mid sounds a bit like a jazzy, improvised version of the Star Trek TOS theme.
Came here to fulfill a literal childhood dream of playing MIDIs with better-sounding instruments, hehe. I have the soundfonts (which, to my delight, could be used by my old DOS games, thanks to DOSBox and VirtualMIDISynth). I just need the old Windows MIDIs. Thanks for the DL! Edit: Now I know what the MIDIs' full names are, lol.

All the Windows 3.1 midis would sound right at home in an Earthworm Jim game.
Not sure about the others but canyon and passport were made by passport technologies
George Stone is the composer of Canyon, and Brian Orr wrote clouds. Seems to be a mystery who wrote passport.

-So what's your favorite kind of music?
-It's complicated...
I still have midi from my old windows xp, only I didn't know it was from the actual PC, all this time I thought they were just some random midis I downloaded
Nice one, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I put both Flourish and IE4CHAN together in Audio Evolution, Mixed it down, and uploaded it on ROBLOX for the background music for my place called Oasis Daindune Atrium.
9:06 Real Doom vibes
When The MIDI Player Loaded Instantly Instead Of Taking 2 Minutes.
I Like This Compilation :)
I left a comment on this a year ago and listening to these again, It might be just me, but the Someband.mid sounds a bit like a jazzy, improvised version of the Star Trek TOS theme.
dreamy.mid is straight up some herbie hancock/weather report type shit. so much of the windows soundtrack is genuine jazz fusion and i love it so much
flourish.mid sounds so good
Flourish is fantastic! Sounds like something from Jimmy Haslip
Came here to fulfill a literal childhood dream of playing MIDIs with better-sounding instruments, hehe.
I have the soundfonts (which, to my delight, could be used by my old DOS games, thanks to DOSBox and VirtualMIDISynth). I just need the old Windows MIDIs. Thanks for the DL! Edit: Now I know what the MIDIs' full names are, lol.
Canyon is LGR'S favorite music
Passport, TheCake, and One Stop are my favorites.
Passport always reminds me of playing Theme Hospital for endless hours in the 90's for some reason.
