Twiddly.Bits can be used to create music from scratch. They can also be used to add spice (and ‘musicianship’) to an existing piece of music by adding parts and loops that have been created by our real live musicians.

We use SMF (.MID files) as the main format because .MIDs can be loaded into pretty well any sequencer application. And once loaded, you are then free to be able to choose any playback sound you have access to.

None of this is difficult to do but it is still a revolutionary concept and we appreciate you may need to see and hear how all this works in practice.

The media below is available so you can hear music that has been recorded using Twiddly.Bits, download some test files, hear and view audio and video podcasts, and read some tutorials.

Downloadable Demos

The demos below were mostly recorded using the sounds in a Yamaha Motif ES and saved as an .MP3. The corresponding .mid files are examples of the raw files used to create them. Load the .MID files into your sequencer, and experience the ease of working with MIDI.

*If you playing the .MID files direct from the web they will initially load General MIDI sounds found in Windows Media or QuickTime, depending upon your computer's setup. We recommend you (also) load files into your DAW/sequencer and experiment with a far broader range of playback sounds for the full Twiddly.Bits experience!
