different tracks on midi files
2004-10-10 by Spencer Chase
Greetings Bob et. Al, Depending on the structure of a particular MIDI file, many things can be done to rearrange the track, channel and patch relationships to get various parts to play or not play etc etc. A type 1 file can be converted to type 0 (GNMIDI dos this and other functions very well.) which will merge all tracks into one. Then it may be possible to switch patch and channel assignments to make the piano play the way you want. It all depends on the patch and channel assigned to the parts in addition to the track assignments. There are an unlimited number of ways to make a MIDI file so it is not possible to be specific about what is needed without seeing the actual files. I have a utility called MIDIMOD2 that can be used to change channel and patch assignments in ways that may be useful. The program can be downloaded from the download pages of my web site, whose URL is in my signature below. I can also make custom programs for needs that can not be met with available programs. -- Best regards, Spencer Chase mailto:spencer@... 67550 Bell Springs Rd.
