An original eight-note chime

These eight notes were written for this page. They are not a quote of a published song, not a MIDI ripped from a game, and not a file from OpenNBS’s library. The pitches, on a harp, are an original phrase: a rise, a top note, and a step back down. Blocksmith laid them out as a note block machine, checked the redstone the way it checks any song, and the picture is that machine from above and to the side.

A real MIDI you own follows the same path. The converter does not care that this phrase is short. A longer file becomes a longer row of note blocks, with the same instruments the game can play, and drums only where the file has drums. What it will not do is ship someone else’s recording. If you want a chart of a commercial song, you need a licence, and this gallery will not be the place that hosts it.

The machine is Java Edition. Bedrock cannot tune a note block from a command in the way this datapack needs, so Blocksmith does not pretend there is a Bedrock export for songs. OpenNBS remains the editor if you want to nudge notes on a piano roll. Blocksmith is the step that turns a MIDI into blocks that play.
