First import the MIDI with the default settings. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can adjust some of the import settings. Note: MIDI Import Plug-in supprots SMF0 MIDI files only. Importing other MIDI formats may be inaccurate. See similar questions...

Go to HoHo Preferences ("Options => HoHo Preferences"), choose a MIDI database to which new MIDI files will be exported, and press the "OK" button. See similar questions...

MIDI", "SMF0", "MIDI file", "MIDI Alarm", and "MIDI Ringtone" generally mean the same (they differ from the "ringtones", though). MIDI (file) is a piece of music written as binary data. SMF0 is a subformat of MIDI - the only one that can be played by all Palm OS devices - it contains one single track (thus it mustn't be polyphonic, etc.). See similar questions...

Because a strong majority of Palm OS handhelds supports the SMF0 format only, you have to make sure all MIDI files you install from your PC are saved in this very format. If they are not, they can be easily converted. Use the MIDI File Format Conversion utility that can process single files or entire directories. It's lightening fast and completely free.

If the question is: Is it possible to have the computer 'convert' a WAVE file to a MIDI file in such a way that the MIDI file (when played back) sounds like the original WAVE file? The answer is: NO! A MIDI file is a sequence of commands to control one or more pieces of equipment (synthesizers most of the time). These commands are not sounds, they are recorded operations to DO something (mostly to GENERATE sound). A WAVE file IS sound. It is the recording of a sound wave. See similar questions...

If you want the WAVE file to sound exactly like the MIDI file when you play it using your MIDI equipment, then you can use this method: Open up an application to play the MIDI file AND open up an application which will allow you to record the piece as a WAVE file. Hit 'record' on the WAVE application and 'play' on the MIDI player. Beware though that you will need a computer that is fast enough to have both programs running without interruption.

After installing the latest update for DartPro 98, I don't have a shortcut to CD-Recorder 4 Basic in my 'Start' / 'Programs' folder. What's going on? How do I fix this?" See similar questions...

No program exists that will analyze a .WAV-type file and "compose" a corresponding MIDI file, for the simple reason that with current technology, Most "proposed" schemes involve operations such as Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT's) and wavelet transforms, etc. These take a .WAV-type file, generally called "waveform data," and, in the case of the Fourier transform, breaks it down into its component sinusoidal wave frequencies and amplitudes.

Pa50 natively saves its Songs (and Backing Sequences) as Standard MIDI Files (format 0). No conversion is needed. However, when making songs to be later exchanged with other instruments, please remember the following: Pa50 directly records in SMF format. Any SMF reader should be able to read it. Be sure the file's extension is correct (usually ".mid"). Track 10 shall be reserved to Drums. When saving a Backing Sequence, track 11 is also reserved to Drum/Percussions. See similar questions...

Not exactly a text format, but also very useful: MIDINotate Musician or Composer does a surprisingly good job with converting MIDI files to printable sheet music, even if the quantization is tricky. Free 30-day trial version for Windows. If you're willing to switch to Java as your programming language you'll find it has an extensive library for parsing/generating midi files.

Conversions to and from MIDI, although more or less possible, are very difficult. MIDI files have a very different set of commands. One of the more important differences is, that the MIDI device 'knows' how to process its sounds, when it receives commands from the MIDI player. For example how fast to decay a piano waveform. This information is not stored in the MIDI file itself, it's in the synthesizer. A MOD file however would have this included. See similar questions...

Please run command "Sndvol32.exe /p" from your computer's "Start > Run..." dialog. Then check the volume control to "All Mute". Please pay attention that you must uncheck the "All Mute" after conversion, otherwise, when you play an audio file, it will have no sound. See similar questions...

Even though the registered MIME type for MIDI files is audio/midi, some browsers are not set up to recognize it as such; instead, they look for audio/x-midi. There are two things you can do to address this: Configure your browser to treat documents of type audio/midi correctly. This is the type that Apache sends by default. This may not be workable, however, if you have many client installations to change, or if some or many of the clients are not under your control. See similar questions...

File Formats describes the file formats used in GenePattern and, where applicable, suggests methods for converting files to these formats. See similar questions...

See Gerd Castan's "Converting audio to MIDI" page. His site http://www.music-notation.info contains a lot of useful annotated links. (Tim Crawford) See similar questions...

Yes. However, the way the channels are assigned by different people may mean it will take a little investigation to get the right results. Whenever you import a file OrganAssist needs to know which channels in the file should be directed to which manual. You can set this via the menus on the Library form ( General Midi Channels). If you do not know what the channel settings in the file are, import it anyway and OrganAssist will report at the end the total number of notes on each channel number. See similar questions...

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This kind of music type is composed by 128 instruments at the most. The file size is very small compared to the WAV files or MP3 files. See similar questions...

Some programs do allow you to convert single tones (monophonic instruments and such) to a midi data, but as far as converting complex recordings and arrangements, currently, it hasn't been done. The first person who comes up with an accurate way to convert complex audio recordings into midi will be rich though (maybe), and will need to adopt me as their son. See similar questions...

A lot of sequence programs allow you in the operation "Save as", to choose for one or the other. Sometimes (like in Cakewalk) you will find this under "Options". Then there are (small) utilities, that will do this transformation for you. One of these you will find at the excellent utilities site: See similar questions...
