Re: [disklavier] Re: MIDI files

2019-07-12 by GDPERRY@...

Actually, I am wanting a more local solution. Eventually, any MIDI files I edit will be played on my Mark III which uses a floppy disk. For editing I need local playback on my PC or laptop. But Windows 10 doesn't support MIDI. In the past, my PCs had sound cards which generated the MIDI voices (I think Creative Labs was an example).

So, I think I need a media player which supports MIDI and a sound generator with decent sounding voices.
Feel free to educate this old guy who just wants to edit MIDI files like he did before Windows 10 (Thank You, Microsoft).

P.S. I have a USB to MIDI interface and I know how to play files on my Mark III from a laptop. I just want my PC or laptop to play MIDI files through their speakers as I edit and test the results. I've thought about resurrecting an old Windows 7 machine, but, it might need repairing and there is the lack of support by MS (Thanks again) and who has the space for another machine?

Are you using a DKV?
An old model?

Yes? Maybe you need an USB to MIDI Interface.

I think that vanBasco karaoke player will be enough. Very old program still working.

Speaking of MIDI files; I need to add the ability to play MIDI files on my Windows 10 PCs. What is a good program w/o spending a lot? Will I need to purchase a sound card, also?Thx, Glen P.

Good Afternoon:

Does anyone have, or can anyone in the group record the title "Memphis 
Stomp" by Dave Grusin

It is from the movie "The Firm"

Yamaha included the title track of the film (by Mike Garson) on a 
sampler disk, but I have never been able to find a midi of this piano 
solo title - to my knowledge  Yamaha does not offer it for sale

I wish I had the skills to play it myself - it is a fast paced jazz song

Thanks to all

Sheldon
