Re: Piano Disc Convervsion

2001-12-18 by robert_swirsky

I I tried openining a MIDI 1 file in a windows program 
called "Cakewalk Pro" and saving it as a MIDI 0, using the SaveAs 
menu. That seemed to work OK. Unfortunately, Cakewalk's a bit pricey 
and may be overkill for your application.

You'll probably need to get a MIDI Sequencer program of some sort. 
There are several low cost ones, like PG Music's $29 "Power Tracks" 
(see www.pgmusic.com ) that can probably do this conversion, too. 
And it's handy to have sequencer software in case you want to edit 
MIDI files. I typically make quite a few changes--remapping 
instruments, scaling velocities--in files I download from MIDI sites.
