Niko's classes are amazing. If you are interested in chord structure, reading, arrangement, I highly recommend you take his classes. Niko's MIDI packs have made my life so much easier when I'm doing a new writing session with somebody.
Niko is the GOAT when it comes to MIDI files. Sometimes when I get in beat block, this is useful for me. It's very simple to find what you are looking for in these MIDI packs and I like how everything is set up.
When I first got access to these MIDI packs my jaw hit the floor. The quality and quantity are both incredible.

Frequently Asked Questions
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files contain musical data—notes, timing, velocity, and duration—but no actual audio. Think of them as digital sheet music that tells your software instruments what to play.
This means you can change the tempo, key, and even the instrument sound without any quality loss. You have complete creative control to make each melody your own.
These MIDI files work with all major DAWs including:
• FL Studio
• Ableton Live
• Logic Pro X
• GarageBand
• Cubase
• Pro Tools
• Studio One
• Reaper
• Reason
• Bitwig
• LMMS
• Mixcraft
They also work with any VST/AU plugin or hardware synthesizer that accepts MIDI input. If your software can import .mid files, you're good to go.
Yes! MIDI is a universal format that works on both Mac and Windows computers. There's no platform-specific version needed—the same files work everywhere.
Using MIDI files is simple:
1. Drag and drop the .mid file directly onto a MIDI/instrument track in your DAW
2. Assign a sound by loading your favorite synth, piano, or any virtual instrument on that track
3. Customize by changing notes, adjusting timing, switching keys, or altering the tempo to fit your track
No complex installation or setup required—just drag, drop, and create.
Absolutely! That's one of the biggest advantages of MIDI. You can:
• Change the tempo to any BPM without affecting quality
• Transpose to any key to match your track
• Edit individual notes to create variations
• Adjust velocity to change the feel and dynamics
• Quantize or humanize the timing
Plus, every MIDI file is included in all 12 keys so you can find the perfect match instantly.
