What do you guys use for custom MIDIs?

I have not used custom MIDIs yet, but I was thinking about using some of FreeDoom's MIDIs for some levels I am working on. They are pretty good from what I remember and the license is permissive.

Lol I completely misread the question. Fail.

Hey guys! I wish to know what you guys use for making custom MIDIs as at some point in the future I want to experiment with them. Also another question, how do you guys port the MIDIs into Slade.

me FL Studio

I’m learning how to compose midis, have been writing music for years now but want to make some Doom-style stuff. If I were you I’d look on the internet. There’s always lots of programs. I use OpenMPT personally, it’s a good program if you’d prefer a tracker. 

Porting into slade? Just import them as a file that's all

i use the [signal online midi editor]. no app to install, it's free, have fairly powerful features, and you could upload your own soundfonts (eg: rlndgm.sf2).

I personally write for a death metal project.  All of the songs realease in my WADs and future WADs were composed in guitar pro, mixed in logic, then exported from logic as a MIDI file - after that, its simply a matter of drag and drop the music file into slade. some people that are really good at mapping (aka not me) use really intense structures in slade.  the method i used for my first map was far less elgant.  basically load in the midi file, move it above the map markers and write a map info definition that plays the s ong

right click where the file names are shown and click "import files", find the directory of your midi and import it, right click the midi and rename it to a doom 2 music lump.

(example: D_RUNNIN = Map01 midi) for more music lumps, click this: Doom 2 music lumps on Doom Wiki

Please credit the project for the music if you do so.
