Headline: Who remembers the golden age of MIDI? 🎹 melancholy
If you spent the late 90s or early 2000s trying to learn the lyrics to your favorite songs, you definitely remember VanBasco’s MIDI Search.
Before Spotify, YouTube, or even high-quality MP3s, we had MIDI files. VanBasco was the holy grail—a search engine that let you find a computerized version of literally any song. It wasn't just about the music; it was about that magical karaoke player where the lyrics would scroll across the screen in neon colors while a synthetic piano blasted out the melody. 🎤
It was geeky, it was lo-fi, and it was absolutely iconic. vanbasco midi search
