MIDI is sorta' like the old player piano rolls - it just specified what notes to play, for how long, and what instrument to (attempt to) emulate. (eta: so MIDI is not actual sound, just instructions for a synthesizer to create certain sounds.) To convert a .wav file to a MIDI file entails analyzing the music to determine, "OK, that note is a G sharp, this other note is A flat, and it sounds sorta' like an acoustic piano, or in any event the "acoustic piano" MIDI sound is probably the closest one of the MIDI sounds available, so we'll just go ahead and use that one...."

If it's just four notes, it would be fairly easy for a keyboard musician to play it and record the MIDI data for you.

I wonder if people with repressed pyromaniacal tendencies tend to end up as physics or chemistry teachers.

And the ones who don't repress them just become physicists and chemists.

Now I want to go to India House and indulge in their lunch buffet. But, it ain't gonna happen today. Damn.

I think I'll go with Kang Karee Kai.

ooh maybe I'll go get Indian today!

A new Ethiopian place just opened near me (corner of Broadway and Lawrence) and I ate there last night for the first time. Very nummy.

I'm so happy. Ethiopian! Within walking distance! Half a block from the Red Line!
