Look for a navigation tab labeled “MIDI,” “MIDI Files,” or “Karaoke MIDI.” On some iterations of the site, you may need to scroll past the streaming player. You will not find a forced membership
You will not find a paywall. You will not find a forced membership. What you will find is an chaotic, joyful, and astonishingly deep library of sequenced music spanning decades. From slamming your fist on a keyboard to recreate "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to scoring your indie film with string arrangements pulled from a MIDI file, Nonstop2k empowers you to create without spending a cent.
Avoid look-alike scam sites. Ensure the URL is correct. The interface is retro—think early 2000s phpBB forums—but it is fully functional.
