There were actually a few music players that read MIDI files from floppy disks, like the Roland MT-80S! They're super neat, if a bit odd!
Some of them actually included more functional sequencers that could edit or create MIDIs and save them back to floppy disks, too.
I actually got to use a full synth keyboard that supported MIDI on floppy disks back when I still went to school.
Nobody else in the class knew how to use the thing, not even the teacher.
You can imagine their collective reaction when I whipped one out.

Synthesizers – about little squirrel and good little animals
So, I have in my pack of music instruments – midi keyboard for 49 keys. Blue color. Cool thing. It is AxelVox Key49j. And I doing music exercises with this music instrument. I am doing exercises with no connected instrument. So, in spring, I can say, it was started a new step for me. One more try. New attempt.
I know seven chords. One gamma. And I play three compositions from a textbook with exercises. And I am doing exercises with book “In music with joy”. So, it is also a drawn a little sun.
The best thing I can do it is little song – “squirrel”. And, also, it is “Ladushki” (hands something) and “Ice Mountain”. So, these three things I play. I train left and right hand separately. So, together I do no played it yet. So, I can say, first step is made towards to songs about little songs about good and kind animals!
That’s for sure! Little songs about good and kind animals. My theme. So, it will be some little animals there. So, really, something like it can be, like some little songs like composition little song – “Squirrel”, as it can be! But, for now, only melodies, it is, I think, it will be melodies now. A skill to speak and sing – it is standalone skill. It is a little thing about a step. A first step, that was made.
Imagine for yourself, for example a duckling. Which can run around the green grass. About what music he can run? And later to jump into the river or lake. And paws he moves, he moves with paws, so funny into the water. And runs all over the water, or, even, swim. So, this is example. So, in form of melodies. Not a big length. Not hard.
And more, yellow chickens are running the grass. They have so big fun there. In a sunny day. Goose is running around a small lake. He spread his wings. He has a red beacon. Such a reddish. Little mouses are sitting somewhere in the fields, they are in their little house. Mole is digging a holes and doing plants of the trees. So, lots of music themes!
So it will be, as idea, funny melodies. About good and kind little animals. My friends. Which I can see soon. When I will go to a country house. In a grass, there are grasshoppers, they are good musicians. And also, a frogs are excellent singers. They are doing quak quak sounds very good. Maybe, I can meet there someone else. And all of these under the little sun. In a green grass. It is beautiful!
Such artistic idea and theme. And even more – synthesizer – it is about lots of sounds onboard. Very different electronic music. From more straight and raw up to more delicious and elegance. From hard drive to melody beauty. Retro wave, synthesizers music, style of 80s rhythms and melodies. With different plugins. Genres of electronic music – there are lots of them. So, synthesizers – it is unlimited way to do music! With very different sounds and ideas! Melodies and rhymes!
