Well, I receive some questions over here, discord and instagram, so here's some answers:
- Live instruments: The idea of this particular jam is to put all the songs in 1.44mb storage (A floppy disc), that's one of the reasons the .mid format was chosen, so no, live instruments can't be added to the song, with 1 only exception. You can add voice sing to the song if you want for the .wav .mp3, but you have to translate that to melody in the .mid file
- .mid size: Somebody tells me the wip of the song is making was over 20kb and above 1 minute (something i think is weird, but ok), so by that I'm going to change the max size to 25kb, and if I see more people is struglin by the same problem I'm going to increase the file size again (But that was going to be the last time).
- Soundfonts: For the ones who doesn't know, the .mid file is not a sound file, is more like a "programming language" in some point that the computer reads and play with a library of sounds that the machine has. So... What is the soundfont to use for the jam? There's going to be 2 Soundfonts. One is "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" and the other is the "Beepbox Soundfont". For what I read, these 2 soundfonts are exactly the same, the difference between the microsoft and the beepbox one is that this last one is a "modern version" with an updated song library in some of the samples, but in general is more the same. So if you want to use the correct soundfont, these 2 are Ok.
If anyone have more questions please, put it down here.
Have a good day <3
