Back in the summer of 2014, Chrome and Firefox still were set up to play midi files. Then, for a very brief time Firefox would play midis, but only if you had Quicktime installed). They don't anymore, at least not that I've found, and I tried a lot of ways of embedding midis back then. It's a shame too. They really need to bring that ability back.
Addendum: I DO remember coming across this a couple of years back which might be exactly what you're looking for. -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7677366/about-embed-midi-files-on-a-webpage
I used to have several webpages that i added mid files back in the day. i remember you could have the player totally hidden or have it displayed on your page somewhere,, you could even change the size of the player to what you wanted with coding. or you could just have it display the play/pause button. those were the days. i'll give this Java thingy a try. an im glad im not the only one trying to figure this out :)
i did do something on one of my ZEE pages before i signed to neocities, which played tiny, grainy .WAV or .AU files, these were 8bit mono and about 8000khz in effort to replicate the mark1 CMI music computer of the late 70's, i am not sure if i deleted my effort in rage when i found that free neocities accounts do not allow .WAV uploads.
I think firefox should have an extension for midi, i have to use an older version of fox, 'cos i use the unsupported XP OS. I don't know about chrome though.
Yeah, that's actually my only "gripe" about Neocities, is that you can't upload wav files with a free account. Seems like yu should be able to since both midi and wav files are part of "old school" website development.
To: arkmsworld. so darn true, what is oldskool web dev without a spam .wav?
They are, extremely! haha yeah though, definitely better than robber humans.
you know what tiny, i cannot get neocities to work on the PSP webbrowser, which is a shame, because sicklycarpet would look good on the sony PSP
