Type of File
I downloaded a midi drum file just to practice tweaking some things, when I went to save it , it changed to .not file. Is it still a .midi file?? I'm getting a keyboard that will accept midi files only ( in smf 0 Format).

Re: Type of File
Hi,
The ".not" is the special Notation Software file format that saves all score formatting and free text and such. You can also use File/Export, and export the file as a MIDI Type 1 .mid file. If your keyboard needs a Type 0 format, you can use a small utility such as GN1.0 doing the following (this is from our KnowledgeBase): You can fairly easy work around this problem by using a free MIDI utility that converts MIDI File Format Type 1 to Type 0, as follows:Enjoy Sherry

Re: Type of File
Hi,
Quote:
This file is a beautiful performance rendition of the piece, but it was recorded without reference to the MIDI metronome, which is why it looks a mess when transcribed. Fortunately, Notation Composer's ReBar feature can help you get usable sheet music from this file. There is a Tutorial Video (fairly new) that demonstrates how to use the ReBar feature - you can find it at http://www.notation.com/vb-forum/showthread.php?t=4064 Alternatively, you can try finding a different .mid file of the piece that may have been sequenced/recorded according to a metronome, and perhaps tweaked using the Tempo map rather than just freely recording to get a good performance. You can just use a favorite search engine to look for "clair de lune MIDI file", or any of the special search engines on our page at http://www.notation.com/MIDI-Search.php Enjoy! Sherry

Due to other priorities I haven't been able to get back to this for a week or so, but I think I will take the Re-Bar route this week. I probably COULD find another midi file, but I will almost certainly stumble upon other midi files that need similar processing, so the learning curve will be worth the investment of time. Hopefully I can get through this before my trial period expires, which will help my purchasing decision (-: |
