Another interesting format is MIDI-karaoke. You can try to look for MIDI files of popular compositions in open sources. Midi-format does not contain any information about the timbre of sound played. Midi-files consists of events (such as Note On, Note Off, Aftertouch etc). MIDI is an interface and it has been originally designed to store and transfer commands, such as when and how loud key is pressed, MIDI does not contain any complex phicysal characteristics of real-word's sounds. MIDI supposes that you use so called software-hardware complex. Playing MIDI, hardware of sotware synth uses its embedded timbres to produce sounds. You're limited by quality or a number of timbers of your synth. MIDI is strictly depends on the hardware where it was created. If you ever changed your synth, there's no warranty that you'll get a great sound on your new synth with you old midi-sources!
