The MidKar Group is similar. Albeit, they are mainly a MIDI sharing group.
There are many Pro sequencers and performing musicians in the group who
will answer questions posted to the group. This group generally gets a
few new posts per day. About 3 to 5. And are mainly posts with new MIDI
files attached. Some of the attached MIDIs are current hits, still on
the charts! Others are older songs from the 1800s through the 2000s.
You can also request MIDIs in this group. If no one has one, one of the
group's pro sequencers will often make one for you. For free!

times a year!
