They've been down for maintenance for months, since at least February...

If you scroll down the page, you'll get the entire midi archives. The formatting is somewhat corrupted, but the files are still downloadable. I wonder if the partnership with Google for AI music research killed their archives: https://cla.umn.edu/music/news/professo...ces-google

There's nothing from the 2019 Junior competition onward that I can find...

Yes, there are a great many excellent midi files available on the e-competition website - several of them have been used by Modartt on the 'audio demos' page of the website. Here's an example (notice the references at the bottom of the page): https://www.modartt.com/modeld

You're going way back because it was a version by Hugh Sung, an early Modartt collaborator. That version was embedded in version 2.3, as I found out by booting my old computer...even in version 3.0.5 it was a different waltz as shown in the image below. It's copyrighted so not available. There are very good Chopin MIDI versions in the Minnesota International Piano-E-Competition, but the site seems to be down at the moment.

In an earlier version of Pianoteq, the demo file was not a "blues" file, but a really great MIDI recorded performance of Chopin's Waltz in C# Minor, that really showed off the software. I can't seem to find it. It might have been in Pianoteq 4 or perhaps earlier. It really showed off the software as well as the differences between instruments.

I would be very grateful to find it again as was trying to demonstrate this to someone interested in Pianoteq, and the "blues" file just fell flat, sadly.

I looked on line and found some other MIDI files of it but they were just mechanical and not musical - undertempo and like a bad player piano. The MIDI file that was with earlier Pianoteq was much more dynamic and musically compelling.
Many thanks.
