x8 and MIDI FILES
x8 and MIDI FILES
hI AND THX FOR READING.It has been a good few years since i used midi files and i,m now having dificulty in doing what i would like to do with them.Basically i get my midi file in the x8 and in mixer mode to have a look at the part view and i want to make changes that do not revert back to the previous track settings when the midi file restarts from the beginning.So if i change an instrument it stays changed.I also want to know how i get to Mode 4 /mono mode as it may be the answer and as was there earlier but did not know what mode to select then but now i can,t find my way back to that.I am sure there must be a sticky that deals with all the midi info but i seem to be just going round in circles and getting nowhere.Also i,m using a midi file that only shows up tracks 1 and 10 and i would like to use all 16 tracks how do i change the setting of midi to enable this permanently.Thx again.
Re: x8 and MIDI FILES
Hi i have now discovered i have to untick the progam change boxes for the 1-16 tracks on the midi file and everything is fine as i can set up each track to record with notes and instruments individually and because i have unticked the program change boxes the midi file does not revert back to its original instruments when i return to the beginning of the midi file but i have now found a problem in that i cannot save the new version of the midi file as the save smf box on save load screen is not available to do this.Anybody got any help to solve what the problem now is and ideas of correcting this issue? Thx
