Producers use Rush E to see how many voices their plugins (like Serum or Keyscape) can handle before the audio starts cracking [3, 4].
Every note hits the grid exactly where it should, ensuring the rhythmic "E" memes stay intact.
This is the most popular use. High-quality files create those beautiful, dense "waterfalls" of notes that look like a solid wall of green [2, 6].
Instead of every note being at 127 (max volume), a premium MIDI uses varying velocities to give the track a more "mechanical yet musical" feel [4, 5]. How to Use the Rush E MIDI
To get that sound, you need a MIDI file that captures the "impossible" nature of the song while maintaining clean velocity data and proper note separation [4]. Why "Extra Quality" MIDI Matters for Rush E
Finding a "Rush E" MIDI file that actually sounds like the chaotic masterpiece we all know is harder than it looks [2]. Most files out there are either too simplified for a beginner or so poorly optimized that they’ll crash your DAW [2, 3].
Poorly made files have overlapping "ghost notes" that eat up CPU. Extra quality files are cleaned to ensure maximum performance [2, 3].
For the enthusiasts, these files serve as the foundation for "Black MIDI," where the goal is to pack millions of notes into a single track until the score looks completely black [5]. Where to Look
When searching, look for "uncompressed" or "merged" versions. These are typically handled better by modern software. Avoid sites that host 1kb files—those are usually just the melody and lack the "extra quality" density required for the full experience [2].
Once you've grabbed a high-quality file, there are three main ways to use it:
