Looking for games that incorporate MIDI music
So far, the best game I know of is Rust. It has 14 instruments and has software that lets you coordinate your MIDI song with someone elses into a whole band setup, and has good controls and performance with regards to lag.

The other game I know about is Tower Unite which has drums and piano that also has a 3rd party software thats a bit buggy but works for the most part.

Any others that you guys know of? Any type of game that allows the use of MIDI instruments or MIDI files to be played in-game.

Thanks!

There are musical instruments in Doom? LOL

FF14 has this. You see a lot of performances going on in busy areas.
My question is:

Are you looking for Retro 8-bit, or 8-bit, music? Cause MIDI is data not sound.


All games use MIDI or MIDI wrappers. Some games will feature live music, but these are rare.

Here is a rare game that uses live recorded music:

A lot of feature musicians use MIDI and those making millions use MIDI and MIDI wrappers, as well as Auto-tune. Pretty funny when you think of the entire Hip-Hop and Pop scene using MIDI and Auto-tune. Some recording artists stay away from Auto-tune like the plague but those are the true artists.

If you like new country music (US-style), try Flame in the Flood but it is live recorded music.

Im looking for games that have musical instruments that can be controlled by MIDI in the game so I can play music with other people on the internet.

WIth some adjustment (from Midi Keyboard to Keyboard with "MidiKey2Key", >Atlas< (The pirate game from the "Ark" studio) is possible. Since it has instruments based on keys, it needs adjusment to link the correct notes to the midi Keyboard, but already made it and possible
