I recently submitted MusicNote Haven MIDI Manager to the 2026 MIDI Innovation Awards.

It is a desktop application I am building for musicians, keyboard players, MIDI collectors and digital music archivists who have large or messy MIDI/KAR collections.

The goal is simple: make old MIDI archives usable again.

Current focus areas include:

indexing large .mid, .midi and .kar collections

searching and filtering files

listening to files while reviewing them

organizing files into a cleaner library structure

preserving older keyboard, karaoke and floppy-era MIDI archives

I am especially interested in feedback from people who still use, collect, repair, archive or maintain MIDI files and older keyboard song libraries.

I would be very interested to hear what features or workflows would be most useful to other MIDI users and archivists.
