A practical workflow for large MIDI/KAR collections

Turn a difficult MIDI/KAR collection into something you can actually find, review and use.

MIDI Manager scans the folders you already have, analyzes filenames and MIDI/KAR evidence, helps identify artist and title, sends uncertain results to Review, and copies only approved files to a separate Organized Library. Your originals stay where they are.

From source folders to a reviewed Organized Library.

The app keeps analysis, identification, human review and safe copy execution in one local workflow so you can improve a collection without handing control of the source files to the software.

  1. 1. Scan & index Inventory .mid, .midi and .kar files from folders you choose.
  2. 2. Analyze & identify Use filenames, embedded MIDI/KAR metadata, technical data and local-first music references.
  3. 3. Review uncertainty Check questionable identities before anything is approved for organization.
  4. 4. Copy & verify Copy only approved files to a separate Organized Library and verify the output.

What you can do after the scan

One application for finding, fixing and using a large MIDI archive.

The Organizer is the main workflow, but the library remains useful afterwards instead of becoming a one-time export.

Find and understand files

Search and browse the indexed collection, inspect technical MIDI data and open detailed file information.

Recognize artist and title

Combine filename clues, embedded MIDI/KAR metadata and music-reference evidence, with review for uncertain results.

Organize without touching the source

Build a separate Organized Library with approved copies while the original files remain in place.

Listen while you work

Play individual MIDI/KAR files; paid editions add longer playback and queue workflows.

Maintain and preserve

Use Library Health, re-evaluation, reports and edition-dependent IMG/archive tools for ongoing collection work.

Designed for cautious collection work

You stay in control at the points that matter.

Review before copy

Uncertain recognition is not silently treated as correct; questionable results stay visible for review.

Ordinary files stay ordinary files

The Organized Library is made from normal MIDI/KAR files in a folder you choose. Nothing is locked inside MIDI Manager.

Local-first by design

Your collection stays on your own computer, NAS or storage. The optional online reference path does not upload your MIDI/KAR files.
