Only few Midi-Files are shown

Trouble with Synthesia, your keyboard, or adapter? Think you found a bug?
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).

If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

In all of the locations that Synthesia searches for MIDI files, if the there are any MIDI files with the exact same contents [the same MD5 hash], then Synthesia will only show the first file it found from each set of identical files.

On Windows, you can find duplicate files by using the NirSoft utility SearchMyFiles. In the first drop down box Search Mode, select "Duplicates Search". In the search results, you can click on the column header "Duplicate Number" to group the files in sets of identical files.

As usual, Bavi_H is correct and has given great advice. :)

Just an additional note: because this behavior of weeding out duplicates in the song list seems to cause more confusion than anything else, it's on the to-do list to remove it and simply show all files in all folders all the time.
