====== MIDI ======

===== Media for General MIDI Enthusiasts =====

==== Songs ====

  * //Hey Little Girl//, Icehouse.
  * //When I Spend My Time With You//, Model-T.

==== Movies ====

  * [[Johnny To]] films.
  * [[lb>mechanical-violator-hakaider|Mechanical Violator Hakaider]].
  * [[lb>rocky-vi|Rocky VI]] (don't watch this, it sucks).

===== Setup on Linux =====
I'd thought [[VLC]] had dropped support for MIDI, but I've found it to be the easiest way to get hassle-free MIDI playback.

  - Install VLC as usual
  - Install [[aur>vlc-plugin-fluidsynth]]
  - Install a [[soundfont]]
  - Point VLC to that soundfont via ''Tools > Preferences > Input/Codecs > Audio codecs > FluidSynth''

Now you can play a MIDI file just like it's any other audio or video file :)
