When you make MIDI music, do you ever have two or more instruments playing the same note? I think it could be a good way to make MIDI songs that sound different and unique, breaking away from the limitations of the same old instruments.
There's about 128 instruments in the default MIDI soundfont on Windows, 128 times 128 times 128 equals 2,097,152, so it could be a way to add some variety without using a different soundfont.
Do you think you would like to experiment with combining different instruments, and share them here? One important tip is that I thnk you should have one instrument have the biggest volume setting, and other instruments having a lower volume, because I remember that I found the instruments don't blend in as well otherwise.
Edit: I'm interested in making MIDI files offline, and a program I suggest for making MIDI files that way is MIDI Editor. http://midieditor.sourceforge.net/ But, you can talk about the instruments on Online Sequencer if you want.
