The MIDI Contest

[Emerates]

Well, the day has come, my friends to talk of many... MIDIs.

This contest is open to all members, except those judging, of course.  Judging this event will be:

1.  Emerates
2.  Lucas_irineu
3.  Meiscool
4.  Moosetroop11
5.  Djanki

These are the rules:

1.  Contestants will have until Wednesday the 15th of October to download this MIDI sample and create a track around the melody.

2.  Contestants are allowed one entry only.  Post once to enter, and post again with your finished product.
3.  Songs are to be no longer than 3.5 minutes.
4.  There is no specific theme required, so go crazy.

The MIDIs will be graded based on a cumulative 10.0-point system, based on harmony, emotional value, and so on.  Whoever has the highest score wins.

If anyone has any questions, you can post them here or PM me.

And with that, let the games begin.

Cool. I'll enter.

[Felix-0]

I'll enter and do we have to match the same pitch as the Contest midi , and if so can you make a Downloadable of it?
in not midi form

[Emerates]

The MIDI must be in the same key, if that's what you mean.  That doesn't mean you can't modulate, of course.  As for the rest of your post, Felix, I don't know what you mean.

[Dragonium]

I'll enter.

That melody breaks my mind. I can't seem to fit it into bars. What's the time signature on it? O_o

[Hell Angel]

5/4, I think. It repeats twice within a 5/4 scale... So... 5/8...

In midi maker you can save files in a form that others can open and edit...thats what I'm talking about 

[Emerates]

Oh.  It just has to be in MIDI format anyone can play on a standard PC and Mac.  As long as I can hear the MIDI, it's fine.

.MID is that 'form,' which it's already in.

[Felix-0]

but how do I get it to my computer...so I can accurately work with it?

[Hell Angel]

Download it... and open it with your composer?

[Felix-0]

I has Firefox...there's no Download page...and no Save target as...

[Cerebus]

I just tried with Firefox. There's "Save Link as..." which does the same.

[Felix-0]

All it does is save a HTML link...which isin't close to waht I need.

[Cerebus]

Uhm, that's kinda weird. It actually saves the MIDI for me... I tried attaching it for you, but I can't.
