I know i ask a lot of questions, but bear with me please.

Is there an archive of Animal Collectives songs in MIDI format. I know that actabs have three and theyre awesome

But do anybody have any AC(or ACrelated) MIDI files laying around. If so please post it or PM me. I will be you forever thankful. (i already have Alvin Row, Giant and Penny D)

Seriously? Has noone got any midi files from animal collective? You guys always have the most obscure AC things. How come that noone have got any...?

Unfortunately there's no easy way to generate an accurate MIDI directly from a song, the only way to do it is the long painful process of transcribing the song one note at a time and entering it into your music program of choice. There is no MIDI archive because they're a pain in the ass to make. You already have the 3 I made and don't know of any others tbh. But I can try to make some more if you have a particular song request!

I'm pretty sure Emerson did this for Little Fang so ask him

I did it for Little Fang, Emerson used the audio.

What I did is use a program such as Guitar Pro 6 (don't believe version matters), to write the notes in for every single instrument. Its arranged as a tab so its much easier than using the typical sideways keyboard style midi editor. Then you can export to midi and play it how you like.

It gets you a sound like this:

That tab is just midi being played back.
