Hey guys,

 

I was wondering if any of you guys knew what system requirements you might need to run this black midi: http://impossible-music.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Largest_MIDIsit is the first one, Armageddon, In which is 2.17TB of data.   I definitely do NOT want to buy the computer that can handle it but i just wanted to know what you guys think can do it.

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

Well, midi is just transport data, it's just instructions.

However, the RAM would be the limiting factor in this.

The projects never end in my line of work.

CPU: Dual Xeon E5-2650v2 || GPU: Dual Quadro K5000 || Motherboard: Asus Z9PE-D8 || RAM: 64GB Corsair Vengeance || Monitors: Dual LG 34UM95, NEC MultiSync EA244UHD || Storage: Dual Samsung 850 Pro 256GB in Raid 0, 6x WD Re 4TB in Raid 1 || Sound: Xonar Essense STX (Mainly for Troubleshooting and listening test) || PSU: Corsair Ax1500i

CPU: Core i7 5820k @ 4.7GHz || GPU: Dual Titan X || Motherboard: Asus X99 Deluxe || RAM: 32GB Crucial Ballistix Sport || Monitors: MX299Q, 29UB65, LG 34UM95 || Storage: Dual Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB in Raid 0, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB, 2TB Toshiba scratch disk, 3TB Seagate Barracuda || PSU: EVGA 1000w PS Platinum

Depends on how fast it played.

2.1 TB is on the extreme end for a black MIDI. Most MIDIs are about in MBs. The bigger ones are still under 100 MB, however. Keep in mind that on average, 1 million notes is about ~7.8 MB. Take Bad Apple!! 5.1 million for example. The MIDI is about . . . 40 MB? I have to admit, I was really bored when I decided to make Armageddon.
