Working with Midi??

Soooo.... Midi, I think there is something to be said about using a program to generate midi or manipulate midi, when you can't just use midi. I dunno, the whole process is ambiguous to me, and I'm not that contempt with my final product, but alas, here it is!

You have to download this file "across the universe" in order to make the program work, but with that, I've found some non midi files work better, but thats not the project.

Here's the text file!
