GNMIDI MIDI TOOLS for Windows (c) 1997 Günter Nagler GNMIDI A software for MIDI friends by Günter Nagler MIDI is the language that most electronic musical instruments, computers and recording studios have in common. A MIDI file tells the playing device all the steps that the synthesizer must do to produce a song instead of only sound. GNMIDI gives you the opportunity to join in the fun that musicians have with the use of MIDI. Don't be afraid that working with MIDI is too difficult or requires too much knowledge of music, techniques or computers. With GNMIDI it's easy and fun to work with MIDI files. GNMIDI is very efficient. It is small enough to put on a floppy disk and take with you anywhere. It will even run right from the disk. No installation necessary!
