The MIDI files found on the Music for Pianos site are produced and edited using the sounds of a Yamaha Stereo Sampled CLP-611 Synthesiser and adjusting reverb etc., to personal taste on the front panel of the instrument. Naturally, you may find that playing the files on other soundcards, synthesisers or sound modules may give differing effects to the ones that I have tried to reproduce.

This is what you need .....at a minimum, to start sequencing i.e. to produce MIDI recordings of music from folk to jazz, pop to classical or avant-garde, everything is possible!

	A PC Computer with a hard disk, min. processing power 486DX2-66MHz and min. RAM 16mb, a monitor (the largest you can afford 256 colours, 800x600 pixels.
	A computer operating system of Windows 98 or later, installed on the computer.
	A MIDI interface on the computer
	A MIDI instrument . (Sometimes the MIDI interface and instrument are built into the sound card)
	Any audio equipment necessary to listen to the sound from the MIDI devices.
	MIDI recording software installed on the computer (e.g.. Cubase, Cakewalk or many others).
	At least 2 MIDI cables (If your MIDI instrument is external).
	A knowledge of musical theory and an ability to sight-read music scores.(or the facility to play a piece of music from memory)

NB. Versions of MIDI recording software are available for Atari and Apple McIntosh Platforms.
