System requirements for using the MIDI files:

No special system requirements are needed. Our MIDI files are fully platform-independent and can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems without any issues. Since MIDI files only contain performance data (like notes, velocity, and timing), they are compatible with virtually any DAW or MIDI-capable software, regardless of your operating system or hardware architecture. As long as your setup can load and play MIDI, you're good to go.

Please note: MIDI is not audio!

MIDI files do not contain actual audio or drum sounds. Instead, they store performance data such as which notes are played, when, and how hard. In order to hear sound, you'll need to load the MIDI files into a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) or any MIDI-compatible software, and assign them to a virtual instrument (like a drum plugin or sampler). This allows you to trigger your own sounds using our professionally crafted grooves.

In other words: MIDI tells your instruments what to play, but not how it sounds. You bring the sound source – we bring the rhythm.
