MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: RE: Free midi files

protosound — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:05:55 GMT

I like this site: www.midisite.co.uk

Just remember you get what you pay for. I usually make my own from scratch, but have occasionally had luck downloading other files and playing with them to get thenm to sound right. To separate midi channels from each other that are on the same track, try this:

1. Copy the track fifteen times (so there are 16 identical tracks)
2. Filter each track (Cubase has a great logical edit for this) to delete all events that are not on the same cahnnel as the track number
3. This will delete all events on Track 1 that are not on channel one, all events on track 2 that are not on channel 2, etc.
4. Delete any track that now has no data on it (there was obviously nothing on that channel number to begin with)
5. You will now have separated tracks by channel number.

Hope this is what you were after. Let me know if you need further help on this.

MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: RE: Best midi software

protosound — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:59:24 GMT

Buying software is like buying cars. There are many items that will work fine - TEST DRIVE FIRST! Ive been sequencing for 26 years, and have gone through 2 versions of Cakewalk, 4 versions of Cubase, and 2 versions of Ableton. They are all good, but you get what you pay for. I currently use Cubase 5 for seqeuncing, and Ableton Live 7 & 8 for live playback of same. These 2 packages are the best Ive ever used for these two aspects. There are always those who will argue Sonar, Pro Tools or something else is better, but you can do 99.99% of all the things you will ever need with either one, and it is pointless to get in a 'I use better software than you' debate. Check price, learning curve, availability of plug ins, etc before deciding. Playing with demo versions will tell you more than I ever could about what will work for you.

Same here. I you send me the .mid file, I can tell a great deal more. It might be getting transposed somewhere in the chain, or playing back a different drum map or patch than you specified. Cant tell without looking at it.

MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: RE: [Issue] Never seen that before

protosound — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:45:16 GMT

Have you tried playing back an existing sequence with this software/interface/keyboard combination to verify that they work together? I Use Cubase SX 2 and Cubase 5, but not CSX3. Is there any chance your ppq is set too low? I record at 480, but I think Cubase can set that considerably lower.

MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: RE: MIDI requests - help please

protosound — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:35:06 GMT

For these to be available, somebody has got to step up and take the time to do it in the first place. How is your ear? Can you hear a melody or a chord and know what it is? If so, you can do these yourself, given a little time and dedication. I have been sequencing for 26 years professionally, and know first hand how time-intensive it is. I don't know where you would get these files offhand. I would be able to do them (they sound simple), but I would need to be paid for it (sorry!) as this is my livelihood, and the 8-10 hours required to do it is significant to me. Do you have something to offer in trade?

MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: RE: Help with Cubase

protosound — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:29:23 GMT

Cubase can be set up to record patch changes. For this to work, the Yamaha (which I am unfamiliar with) must transmit the patch change in the first place. Alternatively, open the recorded track in Cubase using the List Edit, and insert a patch change, which you can then manually change to be whatever program on the yamaha you want the sound to play. Let m eknow how this works out. I can't be more specific on exactly how to access the functions I named here without knowing your version of Cubase. I am fluent in Cubase GS, Cubase VST, Cubase SX2, and Cubase 5. Let me know.

MIDI Keyboards, Controllers and Interfaces :: new to forum, probably a simple question

jkennebeck — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:59:12 GMT

new here! hope someone has an answer to this. i've done a lot of connecting various MIDI instruments to a computer for MIDI sequencing etc. but i'm on to live performace now with my band and want to do something i've never tried so don't know where to start.

I have a Korg Triton EX88 and an Alesis 6.1. I have a dual rack stand so i can put the Alesis up above the Korg. I play a lot of Hammond B3 organ type sounds on a lot of the music we play and I'd like to set up the top synth (the alesis) as an "upper register" of the organ sound the Korg is playing. Is that possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I figure the wealth of knowledge here is going to be faster than trial and error... Thanks in advance.

Joe

Hi everyone. When I read all of your post I think that you are really interested in playing the piano. I know how to play the piano and I just learned it 1 year ago. I didn't go to any music teacher and the like but I can proudly say that I am now good in playing it. Thanks to play piano reviews and to play piano tips. Because of that two I am able to learn the basics of playing and the piano and also they guide me in playing it when I'm a beginner.

If you are interested to learn a lot about the piano, I encouraged you to go to the links you see and explore.

So good luck and I hope you enjoy learning!

Hi, i need putting straight on a basic concept in computer recording.

I use a pc with cubase/emu soundcard. I have lots of 'outboard' gear like pedal fx. I would like to send, eg, the drum track playing on cubase - out through the pedals - and back into cubase recorded on a seperate track.

When ive tried to do this, the signal becomes a feedback loop. Horrible screech.

So is there a way to send out then in with one computer? do i need another computer or what? surely using outboard processing gear can't be that demanding?

Any help is much appreciated!

when sending audio out of the pc and back, you need to experiment with the "send" and "return" levels on the mixer of cubase if it is available. or minimize the return levels until you get a suitable signal.

MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: RE: Guitar pro MIDI export and Cubase MIDI import.

DJ_Markstar — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 03:49:19 GMT

Guitar Pro 5 saves as a MIDI type 1 file as standard I think. I even downloaded a converter between MIDI 0,1 and 2 and that didn't do the trick either. Could it be an import option in Cubase instead of an export option in Guitar Pro 5?

MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: RE: Guitar pro MIDI export and Cubase MIDI import.

3650guy — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:14:27 GMT

can you try saving the file as a type 1 midi file (multitrack midi)?

MIDI Sequencing and Notation :: Guitar pro MIDI export and Cubase MIDI import.

DJ_Markstar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:01:40 GMT

Hi there guys, I'm having what is a simple yet frustrating problem.

When I first exported MIDI from Guitar Pro 5 into Cubase, it would create a separate MIDI track in Cubase for each instrument I had created in Guitar Pro 5. This was awesome.

One day, I switched on my computer and suddenly when I import my MIDI files, they are all on the same track. This is annoying as I use MIDI drums, and the guitar files are often used as guide guitar tracks. I know you can solo each one in Guitar Pro, but this will be a pain in the ass if it ever comes to having to re-edit those MIDI files at a later date.

Thanks in advance!

The missing pedal data might be related to the first problem, the built-in synth on your PC is not set to respond to pedal messages.

Those Philip Rees merge boxes have gotten a good review on Sound on Sound magazine. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep98/articles/philip_rees.html

If you have not managed to make each merge box work ever since you got them, I would suggest you test each box in series between two keyboards. Keyboard 1 > merge box > Keyboard 2. just to isolate and check each merge box individually. try testing each midi input jack on the Phil Rees boxes. The SOS review points out "The 2M may not work if the source MIDI device has an unconventional driver stage." as one drawback.

Interesting. I did what you said and actually the first lead was faulty, then Philip Rees 2M and MIDISOLUTIONS 2M did not work but it did eventually work with a new lead and the Philip Rees 3M... So why did the 2Ms not work? Faulty? Maybe idea to buy a new over the counter and claim money back iof not working?
It says in the article " the 2M only work when the MIDI output circuitry of the powering device conforms precisely to the MIDI specification. " How should that be interpreted in this contex? What MIDI specification are they referring to?
