I went to Cakewalk.com to check out their software as hinted here on how to edit downloaded midis. Since I'm just beginning at this, all I want is to look at how piano parts are set to channel 1, and ensure that file is set as SMF Type 0. If there's an easier, freeware to use, please feel free to suggest.
Meanwhile, on Cakewalk.com, the site sells many software. I've listed them below. Which one should I get?
SONAR X1 Producer
SONAR X1 Studio
SONAR X1 Essential
SONAR Home Studio 7
Guitar Tracks Pro 4
Music Creator 5
Studio Instruments
Dimension Pro
Z3TA+
Rapture
pyro Audio Creator
MP3 Encoder
Thank you!
