You could use Cakewalk, Fruity Studio, Cubase +++
Try searching for one of theese on a P2P program, google, or somthing like that...

You can alslo try to do a search on Downloads.com for free software to compose MIDI's. (Search for "Midi Composer")

Currently, i'm using Fruity, but if your just gonna use it for MIDI, I would suggest Cakewalk or Cubase. They might be a bit difficult to use in the begining, but they are simple (read: not that hard) to use once you get used to the interface.

i see. at the mo i'v been using a really simple program called "midi maker", but the features n options are quite limited, maybe just due to it being un-registered, but still. i hope these programs will satisfy me!

Cubase is a real professional pice of software to say the least.
It is widly used in record studios around the world. In other words, it has A LOT of features.

I can't seem to find the trial version on steinberg's home page though, I thought it would be there since I have downloaded it before.
If you give me 5 min. i'll see if I can find it in my CD folder for you...

EDIT: Found it. It's a rather old version. The file is 11mb. How should I send it to you? if you want it that is..

EDIT2: You could also download the demo for Fruity Studio here:
http://www.tucows.com/preview/209204.html
This pice of software is great for both MIDI and Mp3 composing. You have a 64channel mixer with up to 8 effects per. channel, you can play 999 instruments at the same time, (one word: chaos.
it has a great sequencer, and allows you to import MIDI tracks for remixing. It has a lot of features, and I think it's easy to use. Its not aimed at MIDI composing as much as "regular" composing, but its worth to check out.

No, I don't do MIDI. I only use MIDI as the interface between my synths and my computer.

I went through hell on earth trying to find the trance MIDI's on my site, so I started doing some, but luckly I found a site with the tunes I wanted..

yeh i really like the trance midi's u got on ur site.
im mainly a hip hop/r&b person. its just a thing i'll do if i get really bored, i'l make a midi of a song i like, in hope to use it one day if i get a polyfonic phone!
im trying to use cakewalk now, looks adequate for the job! it looks quite complicated aswel tho! how do you suggest i learn to use it? how did u learn?

Yeah, the program is complicated. But as soon as you get the basics, you'll be creating remixes in no time.

As for learning how to use it:
You could try to do a search for "cakewalk tutorials"
You might find somthing usefull at the following URL's:

http://www.cakewalknet.com/tipseng.htm
http://www.cms.livjm.ac.uk/library/cd1011/cakewalk%20tutorials/
http://www.sharewaremusicmachine.com/smm/tutorials.html
http://www.bikexprt.com/cakewalk/index.htm
http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/average/1196/Audio%20Tutorials.htm


Personally, I like to play around and just learn by doing..

Can anyone tell me if there is a free/share ware program that will translate a cool MPGA file into MIDI format.

It appears as though some rigtone supplier shares their samples as MPGA so I thought, Ooo....free ringtones MMmmm!............
