I'm working on getting a hold of a software called Cubase (Which Nitram referred to me).
When I get it, I'll see if it's easier to work on MIDIs with it.

Here's my problem.
I made a short melody using Fruity Loops Studio 8.
Now I saved it as MP3, and it sounds great and all:

Then I saved it as MIDI, and it sounds weird and monotoned:

Any clue why? Or is it that it works fine but I need a special player to hear the MIDI well?

And then when you were hesitant about getting it I said "Or you could try Cubase." Then you just said "No, its alright".

One thing I tell you.
Do not even think about converting mp3/ogg/wav/mp4 to midi. Forget it, that doesn't work. Midi is a sequence. It contains no sounds it contains informations what kind of sound should be played when. The sounds you hear itself are in other files.
mp3/ogg/wav/mp4 contain the sounds itself. Thats the reason why mp3/ogg/wav/mp4 sound the same on every computer and midi sounds different.

I hate to be like this, but I much prefer adding my own soundtrack with youtube/itunes. If a soundtrack was to be added I might check it out, but sooner of later I'd get fed up with it and disable it again.

The software has the option "Export to> mp3, midi, ogg, etc.."

There are some programms that offer the possiblity to export it as midi. But be sure the result will sound like crap. Always.

Then I continue my quest to find a software that lets you create nice-sounding MIDIs that isn't too hard.

I have created a series of harp midis, each 9 sec in length with increasing difficulty and complexity.

http://midishrine.com/midi/23590.mid

created with the freeware
Anvil Studio
It's only 9 sec, but I think you get the idea

I like it. I suggest you take number four, add some other instruments into it, and put it as the background music for the Grey rose because it sounds very classy. Ofcourse, that means I will have to stay around the grey rose for a long long time.

It's the only harp instrument I've found in the general midi set :/ ("Orchestral string" or "Orchestral harp")
