Need Help!

Post by alanbestdeals »

Hi.

Sorry I'm new on this, How do I upload Midi File? I want to use the MIDI Piano sample project but I could not load the midi file on the input source. I tried to convert the midi file into mp3 using https://www.zamzar.com/ but it won't play as I do the export.


here is my screen shot error.

Thanks

I’m guessing that you have the Studio edition. You need the Performer edition for MIDI functionality.

I think the file extension has to be .mid, not .midi

You just have to make sure all the notes are on channel 1 for that file. You would need some kind of MIDI editor to check.

It looks like you have a Mac; unfortunately I do all my main work on Windows and I don't know any good standalone MIDI editors on Mac. Maybe someone else knows.

But aside from that, any DAW will let you view/edit MIDI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_a ... rcial_DAWs
