Why transcribe MIDI files?
MIDI files can be independently created by blind users of sequencers developed for the mainstream market. On the other hand, mainstream music notation programs are not accessible to the blind. Secondly, since MIDI is an accepted standard, many compositions are already available in this format. For example, a number of MIDI libraries may be accessed via the internet. Files can be downloaded at little or no charge. With GOODFEEL, these files can be transcribed into braille music.
