Failed Black MIDI Projects

- Watch till the end!! there's some important stuff mentioned. So yes, this is me exposing the fact that not all of my attempts of making black midis go well. I either ditch them because the melodies sucked, or i couldn't find a way to continue what i started. Some of these ended up being the project bones for other Black MIDI projects that actually made it. (you can probably guess which ones haha)
Don't let this scare you in any way. I am already finishing up a new black MIDI! so stay tuned for that! And hopefully i can revive some of these projects.
and yes i did make the song at the beginning and end

Aww...these melodies honestly were very catchy and all... :(
MusiMasta yes, I would've loved to see a 6K.
Yair92002 It basically on the most part turned out to be Unbounded 2 tho. Still my favorite TSMB2 theme along with Pi.
Unbounded and Unbounded 2 were made from the remaining parts from 5K and 6K respectively when those were cancelled iirc
DAS-RAGNEROK I think EAENKI is Arecibo
What happened to Neptune.mid
1:17 is fractal images. I loved that song so much so I recognize the tune. But seriously finish these mate- I love them! In fact most of your music inspires me to make a game with your music as the soundtrack along with some other black midi artists out there-
the last two videos I've made, my views will get stuck at 440 for a couple days. UA-cam has some problems!
i like all of them
TheSuperMarioBros2 Indeed it does.
Q: What was your most difficult Black MIDI?
440 is the new 305.
Benedict mun-Geometry dash He said in the description of his 9K video that he was going to do "No more of the multi-million note stuff", so no, you probably shouldn't expect 10k unless he gets some help.
TTD2 sounds ALOT like the destroyer
*scratches that off*
It is the destroyer! Just more dramatic XD
And the next Midi Melody sounds like a fight theme
Q: if you could convince any person, musician, celebrity, _ANYONE_ in the world to become a black MIDI artist, who would you choose?
Gingeas
Either John Williams or Hans Zimmer
+Raptor 271
hans zimmer wrote the music for Pirates of the Caribbean
Raptor 271
Blame ArduinoPlays for that :P
john cena
Gingeas Daft Punk?
Q: who's the most influential person you met in the community?
Gingeas i am in your community
YAMAHAPSR 800 defenitly not u
Ben Dover jetzt sei mal ENDLICH STILL DU STALKER ICH KANN DICH NICHT MEHR ERTRAGEN
kakakakaito probably, idk
loving the use of odd time signatures on some of these :D
Q: How many times have you crashed FL Studio in an attempt to make a Black MIDI?
A: 6
ALFAAASSSSSSSS
Ayyyyy lul
A: 69,696,96 times
@@cyclcrclicly9840 ok
the seconds midi gives off a serious Ocarina of Time vibe. i love it
I absolutely love these:
way of the arrow.mid
defender.mid
Qwhat do you think about the current situation of Black MIDI and it's "fandom" and the direction it's currently heading? Are there any things you'd want to be different?
Some of these sound awesome dude!
Defender.mid is one of my faves out of these.
Might use it in one of my own projects, but only if you approve, of course.
It's still my melodies btw haha. but i'd be okay with you using it in a subtle way in a song. kinda like how Zdoc used a melody from 4k in his I'm So Happy 1 million remix
TheSuperMarioBros2 Ah. Okay.
TheSuperMarioBros2 Quick off-topic question: have you discovered patterns in FLStudio?
@@KF-2015 SORRY HE LEFT
Q: if you could assemble your dream team of black MIDI community members from all times (regardless of whether or not they quit), who would you choose?
You, Epretroll, and TheSuperMarioBros2.
Q: Where do you see black MIDIs going in the next year? 5 years? 10 years?
Gingeas dang gingy with the deep questions tho lel
over a few billion notes, would be the average, maybe trillions, if hardware and software advance that far haha
@@idiotinium too bad, more people today make small black midis
yeah lmao, old comment
Welp it's been 5 years so I guess I got my answer xD
Q: Who is your favorite blacker? This question is always needed in a Q&A :P
Q2 (if I'm allowed to): I see you having lots of melody placement varieties that sound a lot different than actual piano sounds, which in case differs your melody style from Epre, Z-Doc and myself. How do you pick a melody that sounds unique and thematic to you, and how did you manage to create your own melody "style" that sounds like it has its own instruments, and not just piano?
Q3 (again, if I'm allowed to): Your black MIDIs are probably made on 96ppq (default) compression in FL studio. Since you have a pretty strong computer, why not use max (960ppq), since the note art in your MIDIs tend to be a bit compressed?
Talking about 96ppq, he uses it. He uploaded .flp file of his "Pi" black midi that I downloaded, and I can confirm that it's in 96ppq.
Compressed? What do you mean? If you mean in PFA the note art looks "dark" because of how short the notes are, then upping it to 960ppqn would actually make the note art even shorter. Otherwise, disregard this comment.
Not all MIDIs from TSMB2 runs at 96 PPQ, eg, TFL runs at 768 PPQ and The Destroyer runs at 120 PPQ
Carlos Santana Montjoy what is this stuff about PPQs? What is it? I'm guessing it has something to do with the number of gates in the bar.
Q: what sort of musical background do you have? Do you play any non-keyboard instruments?
PS: This is the kind of music that inspired me to start composing, keep up the incredible work!!
idk what he was doing back then, but he owns a recording studio business thing.
Red and later yellow notes in Way of the Arrow are beautiful. Would love to hear that someday again. If you gonna review them, please use that one. Its beautiful. Thats why I just subscribed after I saw your Destroyer video. It also have really awsome melody.
Q: what's "Outbound Media" boi
6:35
"is it FL Stu-- ohh yes OH YES ITS FL STUDIO YESS"
:v
Nice HP Keyboard.
Q: How was it like overlapping notes in 9k and how hard was it to make it a melody/note art ratio actually good?
Q: when and why did you start learning to make black MIDIs and how long did it take you to get to your current level of insane skill?
TTD v2.0, Mandelbrot, 6k and EAENKI (It's The Arecibo melody?) are my favorites!
Q: What was your hardest Black MIDI project ever?
all of them are just amazing :o
Q. Will you branch out into Grey MIDI?
I think you should try making some of these into grey midis, using black sections as additional instruments. 6k shows you doing this on purpose (at least it looks that way.) Way of the Arrow is also strong.
I'd love to see Timeless seen through. Even if it doesn't end up being a full fledged Black Midi, it has a beautiful theme.
0:56 Remnant of The Destroyer
*falls in love with setup*
5:16 reminds me of "Decisive Battle" from Final Fantasy 10
Some of these should become their own melodies. Maybe they could be part of a new genre, like light MIDI. It'd essentially be similar to Black MIDI, but without as much used for the beat, and maybe a tad bit slower. I think it could work.
Jawsome Do you mean...normal MIDIs?
Q: Why does music written in a minor key sound "sad" while music in a major key sounds "happy"? ;p
TBMP.mid I always wonder about that. There's probably some scientific research on it
TBMP.mid apparently people talk in minor thirds when they're sad
Minor keys don't always sound "sad"
If you chose the right key combinations (and not just playing a major chord in the middle of this minor 'piece') you can actually make it sound nice, in key, and 'happy' or 'upbeat'
I have been messing around with my IRL piano recently in the key of C- and it sounds mostly sad (or like a tundra zone in a game) but at times it sounds encouraging or strong, not sad.
It really depends on they keys you use.
TBMP.mid
There just crleverly aranged
Major key exists in nature, minor doesn't. Dunno, may be the reason
Q: What has been your favourite memory from being in this community?
Pi
Najanah why are you answering these questions lol
Q: If a small time indie game studio came to you in search of someone to compose the music for their game, would you do it?
Composer's troubles.
You should put up a link to these melodies, they’re honestly catchy, and hopefully another blacker may have the potential to finish these.....
Think of the possibilities.
have you tried putting black midi to any of your gh songs? and do you think you could/ever will?
Q: If the time comes, and I have the budget, would you mind composing a VG soundtrack for me?
This will take a long while though, as im just starting my game coding classes. But like I said, when the time comes.
Yay! I'm not the only one!
These where good! Make them into full black midis cuz I loved them
Q: What are your favorite musician/genre/biggest inspiration?
Q: how much do u love me dady
Gingeas i so want him to see this XD
Gingeas
You're still dead to me my child

Q: Other than The Destroyer, what is a black MIDI that you are really proud of?
4:43 Hey... wasn't this melody used in Arecibo?
It's one of my favorites...
Q how did you get into making black MIDIs?
Q: can u try to put together the 3.314 and 5.1 again to make a REAL'real 8.49'? I love it so much.
YO illusions.mid is literally clockworks. bruuuh that's huge.
Q) How do you keep your 'setup' so tidy
Another Q) why is this Q & A video so late
mandelbrot wouldve been an all time banger
I think the one at 0:55 was great!
6K was looking so good,can you finish it one day?
He did, waaaaaaay before this vid was made, sort of
a portion of 6k.mid is actually at the starting of an another Black MIDI called "Unbounded 2" with 891k notes.
Q: what do you think of Trump?
GGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS
Gingeas he's not going to blow up the world...
He's going to get someone else to do it for him.
A: We need to build a wall of black MIDIs
Austin Hayducky ok i make some black midis for the wall
Gingeas we need a wall of notes
I need to have that last one. It needs to exist.
I need Neptune.mid
q) for how long did you use fl? and what is your average kb size for black midis?
Why would you not continue the first one? It was going so well
Q: What is the meaning behind the title: 'Armageddon to Archaeopterix and Icaria'?
Is there any way to include a note counter in your future midis so we can see how many notes have gone by or how fast they are coming by?
CocoaMix86 that would be useful so we could find out how many crash notes there are in 9k. In fact, I want to do that. Any software for doing that (other than MIDItrail because it lags)
How long have you been creating music?
Q: do you ever plan to do a black midi tutorial [ how to make one]
Piggy Pig that was supposed to be my idea
Q: What video editor you use?
Q Can your computer/software handle these millions of notes or is there an alternative to MIDI, more suitable for that many notes?
Q: What software would you recommend for a beginner?
Q:will you please, pleeeaassee, plz, pretty pls continue voyage?
wait no that's a request
Q: What do _you_ see when watching your black midis?
Q: What brand/model is the MIDI keyboard and the standalone keyboard?
-->(I had started with a M-Audio Keystation 49e; now none because it was my brother's actually and he moved the home-studio to a standalone one (and changed it to a full MIDI controller/keyboard))
Q2: Powerdirector ftw?
Q3: any topkeks eaten?
kek scroll
that's it. lol
LOL
Carlos Santana Montjoy old kek scroll strikes back
Q: Have you ever considered getting into producing music beyond what you produce in black MIDIs (i.e. trap, dubstep, etc.)?
Just saying, music in beginning/end of the video is made by him - and it doesn't sound like black midi for me lol
Nate Davis Check out OutboundMedia.
Q: how did you get over the fence?
Q. Would it be possible to get a download link or be given a private download for any of these for personal use?
I really like them and wanted to try and add to them for fun...
Q. How did you learn to make black midi
Q: Where did the name "TheSuperMarioBros2" come from?
-I know, I already asked this in the discord, but heh-
you should try to work on timeless. that one is amazing
Mandelbrot was Fractals, right?
can I have some? those melody sounds good.
Q: What's your favorite meme?
They were honestly not that bad
How you put the another piano in background
Oh Carlos's Let It Go 1 million (Failed MIDI) you should add that.
This video is about failed projects by himself (TSMB2), not other people
Sorry Carlos.....
Q: What do you use to make your midis?
Mx. Haro blood of an unborn child
Q: how does one get started with making midis, What programs, what is the process you go through to make original midis, (not a copy and paste note art tutorial)
EdgeMaster 69 first look up how to compose a song. Then compose a song (for 4 or 5 pianos) then add note art.
HDSQ.mid That's not how it works..
ScubDomino well do you want my reply to be 15 pages long?
Some time I'll make a how to video...
HDSQ.mid yes. You don't necessarily need note art lol
I know but I see common ones being re-used alot throughout the community.
At 1:50 I actually like this
Q: what's your favorite black midi of mine
q
How do you cram so many notes into one midi in a reasonable amount of time? Are each note composed into it? Do you combine files together? I'd love to know how an average Joe can learn to create black midis.
Ben Jones you put some notes at low velocities so that they are barely audible
HDSQ.mid I see. Though, how does one go and compose these notes? Like there's thousands of them per second sometimes. Do people use programs or open source archives to create all these quiet notes or does the composer just copy and paste until the point of millions?
Ben Jones Yes. He uses FL Studio (I think 12). It allows you to add notes manually and change their velocity. A way to add many notes at once is to copy/paste a series of notes repeatedly.
Ben Jones you use a Pianoroll editor such as Domino or FL Studio to make the awesome patterns
Q: How do you do to add so many notes to your creations without them looking strange?
Q: how tall r u now boi
6'1"
Q: Can we get downloads of these failed MIDIs?
Q: How do you zoom in (make the notes go faster) in miditrail??
Q: out of all these, which one is your favorite?
Q:I just want to know how to make good black midis
