Embed lyrics into a MIDI File?

Is there an easy way to embed lyrics into a MIDI File using Logic Studio.
Cheers, John

no "easy" way that I know of. It is done is score view. Follow the instructions on Page 915 of the manual. you can use a software instrument channel or an external midi channel. best to play the melody on that channel 1st, then insert the lyrics to match the notes like it says in the manual using "tab" to go to next note. . if you don't want the melody line in your midi file, you can delete the midi notes and just keep the lyrics, they show up in the event list as meta #61
one tip, if you are making karaoke midi files, make sure you leave a blank space at the end of each word otherwise the karaoke player will run all words together. everythingrunstogetherlikethis
if you are separating syllables, do not put blank space or they show up as two words or you will end up with: "what a won der ful wor ld" only put blank space at the end of a word
hope this helps

Consolidate midi files into one midi file

Hi.
I have some midi files that I would like to consolidate into one midi file.
How can I create one midi file out of 2 or more midi files?
All the best from Norway

First import both of them in one project, then select all the MIDI you want included, then *Export>Selection as MIDI File.*

Is there anyone that can convert a GB project into a MIDI file for me, please?

I don't know how to convert a GB project to midi, and midiO doesn't work with my PSR-E433.
Can anyone help me?

I suggest you post your question on Microsofts own forums for their Mac software: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products

How to convert iTunes songs into MIDI files?

I want to copy an iTunes song and convert the copied song into a MIDI file. How do I do this?

Can't be done...
A MIDI file is a set of instuctions for making music. Play this note, then, for that long, on this particular instrument, with these settings. Multiplied by as many notes and instruments as are required. A MIDI file can be turned into music automatically. Turning music into the instructions to make it is, as far as I am aware, beyond the capabilities of current software.

ActionScript 2.0 to be able to embed URL into SWF file?

Hello,
It seems that the web based newspaper who is going to publish my ad banner doesn't have flash player 10 (or 9). My ad banner was made in Flash CS4 / ActionScript 3.0. Instead I now have to change the code in my invisible button to ActionScript 2.0 to be able to publish it in flash player 8. What is the ActionScript 2.0 code so I can make the same embed URL into my SWF file as I did with the following ActionScript 3.0:
function linkToSite(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var url:String = "http://www.IMAGESofFISHERMEN.com/?p=50#more-50"; // replace with your url
     var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
     navigateToURL(req, "_self");
urlBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkToSite);
Regards
Maria

As far as I know, the Flash player version should not be of any significance to the host service. It is the Flash player in the site visitor's web browser that decides matters.
In any case, that code would become...
urlBtn.onRelease = function(){
     getURL("http://www.IMAGESofFISHERMEN.com/?p=50#more-50", "_self");

Converting Audio files to Midi files.... anyway to do it?

I used to have Opcode Studio Vision Pro and there was an option to convert audio files, like a drum solo or just music, to a midi file so you could take a audio drum pattern and turn it into a midi file and pick your own drum sounds like a TR-909 for the drum pattern.
Is there any function like this in Logic, or perhaps a plug in that will do that? I searched the forum without any luck.
Thanks

I haven't seen anything like this, but...
For Guitar's mainly... if you plug your guitar into a good pedal which has a midi out set up, you can plug it into your mac and record by playing the guitar using midi... then you can edit it.. works same way as keyboards... I expect you can do the same with drums if you used digital, i'm not sure.
hope this helps

How to make a Midi File

I have a two track file in garage band and I would like to somehow make it into a midi file that I can use with my piano program.
Does anyone know how to turn .band files into .mid files?
maybe not directly, but somehow?

Sorry, GB only exports audio files B(
If you got Logic Express, that could open the GB file and it offers MID export, I am told.

HT4622 How to import .band and .mid files into GarageBand for iOS

Using GarageBand for MacOS X, I have no difficulty importing and playing .mid (MIDI) files. Indeed, I can even rename .kar (Karaoke) files to .mid, import them into GarageBand for MacOS X and see the lyrics along with the score. Using File Sharing for iOS apps in iTunes.app, I have tried to import .mid and .band files (made from .mid files with GarageBand for MacOS X) using this mechanism. I get no errors but it doesn't seem to work. That is, neither the .band file nor the .mid file are accessible from within GarageBand for iOS as far as I can tell. What should I be doing instead?

As I understand it GarageBand for iOS .band projects can be imported to GarageBand for OS X, but the reverse isn't true. GarageBand for iOS does not import midi files.
The File Sharing section of iTunes doesn't validate the files you put into it, but if the app doesn't like the structure of the file it will just ignore it.

Can no longer drop a MIDI file into iTunes library

Using Tiger on a G4 iMac, I could drop a MIDI file into my iTunes library and convert it to an mp3 (or other format).
Can't get this to happen now that I'm using Leopard on a new machine (see below) - or is there a different way of doing it in Leopard?
With thanks,
Gilly

Answering my own question - had iTunes set to Show Duplicates - therefore couldn't see MIDI I dropped in.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

I can't Convert midi files into any other format

A few months ago, I was able to convert midi files into mp3 when one day, I updated iTunes using software update. Ever since the updates I had for my Mac it still hasn't work.
It has this error that won't allow me to convert. I talked to my friend wrldwzrd89 who is one of my friends and he said that it is because Apple had a piece of data missing allowing midis to be converted to mp3, or any other format.
Is this true or do you know the solution?

I can't tell you the exact reason why it doesn't work, but there is an article about this problem and a solution if you have QuickTime Pro:
iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4
Not the last sentence in the article. That usually means they're working on a fix.
No guarantee that it will be fixed in the next version however. We'll have to wait and see.
Hope this helps.

Exporting Lyrics with Midi FIle(s)

Hello forum,
I was asked to post here also, just in case.
In Logic Express, is it possible to import/type lyrics and sync them to a specific "Midi Melody Track" then, export the midi file (type 1) with the lyrics embedded?
If not sure, can any of you fellow musicians test this for me? After saving the midi file, you can load in "QMidi" from http://www.mixagesoftware.com/
All help and feedback is greatly appreciated,
Thank you

Hello musicspirit
Yes, you can.
Sonar an all Cakewalk products have this feature and it works very nice.
Select the melody track, open the score editor which will show just the melody track notes only, copy or paste the lyrics in the lyrics window and hyphenate for words and syllables. Done!
Sibelius has it also, but I heard it's not the greatest and then Cubase, but I wanted to go with Logic if at all possible.
Thank for the reply

Can't input MIDI file into project

Hi,
I can't input MIDI files into a garageband project. I used to do this very easily, just drag & dropping the file into a blank GB project. That was on my previous older computer, with a previous version of GB. Now I just got a brand new iMac G5 with the most up to date version of GB, and it is not working, the MIDI files just will not drop. I even tried by doing an 'open with', selected GB as the software, and got a message saying 'Garageband cannot open files in the midi audio format' !!!
What's even crazier is that a couple weeks ago I had the same problem, and ****** around with trying different things, and at some point GB did accept the files ! But now it doesn't, and I have no idea what I did different then, probably nothing much.
Any ideas ? It sure is highly frustrating (trying to stay polite here) when a brand new, expensive machine cannot do the simple things that a 5 year old one could.

Have you tried different files? Maybe one that you're sure worked on your old computer? Some midi files can be tricky.

I think it's basically going to involve editing the published HTML files. Here are some resources that I pulled up...
