N900 and mid-files

Why N900 doesn't play mid-files! Nokia, please, make this phone play mid-files! I really need this player! Nokia 6233 plays mid-files, why you have taken off this from new phone??????

i dunno about you guys, but i havent used midi files since... ever XD
www.dvdvideosoft.com have some free audio converters and video converters which are useful for the n900.
on the topic of free converteres, if you want something that can simply convert videos to high quality mp4s that matches the n900's screen resolution, download the free video to ipod converter from dvdvideosoft. then copy the txt file ive attached to this post into the program's profiles folder and change the extension from '.txt' to '.xml'. then just run the program, choose iphone as the device, and you'll see all the profiles ive created for the n900.
the program is good for quick conversions and accepts a fair few file formats. but some things it doesnt do are;
image stretch - the program maintains the source video's aspect ratio
hardcode subs - if the source is an mkv, sub files will not be hardcoded
the files using my profile are rather large because i prefer quality over portability. we do have 32+gigs of storage after all!

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 GarageBand for ipad support wav files, soundfonts files and midi files?

I would like to add more sounds to GarageBand, can I download them straight to my ipad?

There are a lot of apps that support PDFs e.g. the free iBooks app and GoodReader . In terms of Word docs some of the most popular apps are Apple's Pages app, and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and Quick Office HD.
If you are wanting to do a lot of typing on it then you'll probably need an external keyboard (Apple do some bluetooth ones) rather than typing on the screen - also the 'word' apps won't be as powerful as the 'office' type programs that you get on PCs/Macs, but for straightforward word processing you should be ok.

How can I stop midi files being played by the QT plugin in IE6?

Hi
Since reloading XP and QT 7.5 Pro, I have a problem I did not have before. In Explorer, my .mid midi files are associated with my preferred Karaoke player.
However, when I click on a .mid link on a web page in IE6, it uses the QT plugin to play it, rather than my preferred player. I have check my QT preferences file types, and midi files are definately NOT associated.
Firefox did the same, so I simply disabled the plugin, clicked a .mid link, and Firefox then asked me to choose a player. However, if I disable the plugin in IE6, when I click a .mid link, I just get a blank page and a baloon warning me the page is trying to use a disabled plug in. My only option at this point is to quit or re-enable the plugin.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks.

In case anyone is interested, I managed to solve this. Basically I disabled the QT plugin, went into Windows media player and assigned midi files to it. Then I went into Explorer and switched the files back to use my Karaoke player. THen I unassigned midi in Media player and reenabled the QT plugin. Bingo!

Automatic track assignments importing type 1 MIDI file

Hello - I am trying to understand how Logic decides to assign tracks when importing a standard MIDI file. According to the manual:
"As a default behavior, Logic Pro will automatically create software instrument tracks for each MIDI track, and assign an appropriate GarageBand instrument to each, when you open a MIDI file".
The files I want to import consist of a few tracks, with track names describing their role, such as "bass", "pad", "lead", "drums", etc. Each track contains ONLY note-on/note-off events, and all of the notes on each track are assigned to a particular channel. (No program-changes, tempo, or any other kind of controller events, SYSEX, or meta data).
When I import the file, most tracks are automatically assigned to a software instrument, which is fine because I can then set the track to a particular channel strip performance by sending the appropriate program number to each track.
THE PROBLEM: it usually happens that one of the imported MIDI tracks will get assigned to 'No Output', instead of to some software instrument. The tracks with names "bass", "lead", "pad", and "drums" (on channels 1, 2, 4, and 5 respectively) always seem to get consistently assigned to a software instrument. But the channel 3 tracks (I've tried naming them "piano", "keys", "synth", etc) usually, though not always, get assigned to "No Output".
The reason this is a problem is that I am trying to remotely control Logic (via Applescript) from a web application, where Logic is used to automatically render MIDI data into audio. So I can't manually reassign that track, and unfortunately there seems to be no way to reassign a track via key commands, or I could accomplish that via Applescript as well.
Does anyone have any idea what criteria Logic uses when automatically assigning tracks to "suitable" software instruments, so that I can avoid having tracks end up assigned to "No Output"? Hope this question makes sense, and thanks for any guidance.

midi file 0 is one track per midi channel, midi file 1 is separate tracks. for example, if a drum track on one midi channel has each note separated to its own track midi file 0 merges them and midi file 1 keeps them separated

How to get QuickTime Plugin to play .mid files?

I have quicktime Plugin installed. It works for playing video files but I can't get it to play .mid files in browser. Firefox asks me to download the file first, even though through options -> application types, I have set it to use the QuickTime plugin.
I have firefox 22 and quicktime 7.7.4

Also through MIME settings in QuickTime I have set QuickTime to be associated with .mid and .midi files.

ITunes no longer recognizes midi files how can I play and convert them?

iTunes 10.3 recognised midi files, I could "move" them to the iTunes library and select them. then click on "Advanced" and "Convert to AAC" (or to MP3 etc).
iTunes 10.5 will not recognise midi files.
I think an older version of GarageBand could also read and convert midi files, but this no longer appears to be the case either in the latest version.
How can I now convet midi files? Has Apple decided to simply ignore them?

Thanks to Limnos, I now have some further things to try, but in the meantime I found I had been maligning GarageBand 11. Indeed its built-in Help system doesn't seem to mention Midi files at all, but I found out how to insert them from Apple's on-line support system at http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2009 and it works superbly well - one can even change the instruments on individual channels etc and then save the lot as an AAC (m4a) or mp3 etc file.
I also loaded up an old version of iTunes, version 10.3, which still recognises Midi files and can convert them to AAC or mp3 but in so doing some volume seems to be lost.
But the winner so far for me has been Audacity, free software. One needs to add a LAME encoder for mp3 output, I installed Soundflower and routed the playback of the midi file available in the Finder (in fact for the whole machine, while playing the midi file) and declared Soundflower as the input for Audacity. I could then use Audacity's effects menu to increase the volume throughout the track and save it. I then, using the Sound preferences of the machine, switched back to the inbuilt speakers and was able to listen to a higher volume version, playable in iTunes 10.5. More faithful to the original midi file than the GarageBand version.
See instructions at http://ask.brothersoft.com/tags/convert-midi-to-mp3/ and in particular one of the links http://ask.brothersoft.com/how-to-convert-a-midi-to-a-mp3-using-audacity-26125.h tml
This is for Windows but for Mac it's very similar/ - still Audacity. BUT the instructions in the last link don't seem to quite work, which is why I had to use Soundflower. I can import the midi file, I can select it, but then the export item on the file menu remains greyed out and unuseable, so I must presumably be missing some plug-in. Also Audacity keeps telling me it can't find various ffmpeg files even though I thought I had installed them correctly. I'm obviously missing something here, but at least I can now get my midi files into aac or mp3 format again at last.
For Soundflower see http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/ and http://kineme.net/forum/General/soundflowerforlion
and there is a useful tutorial by Nowjobless on YouTube at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3FGOIW08gA&feature=related
Good luck to anyone else facing the same problems, it remains to be seen how to "convert" midi files to mp3 in Audacity without recourse to Soundflower.

Any Complete Tutorials On How To Edit And Export MIDI Files In GB?

Hi. A friend sent me about 25 nice standard MIDI files that all open fine in QT Pro. She wants me to drag and drop them into GarageBand 2, attempt to edit them, change sounds and then export them out as the edited versions, key changes, added bars, change instrument sounds, etc,. Although I'm a trained musician who understands form, I really don't have a clue on how to use GB to edit and export standard MIDI files. Can this be done effectively in GB ver 2 or 3?
Basically what she then wants to do is take the edited MIDI tracks, put them into itunes I guess on her iBook G4 or Ipod and do a solo act playing her keyboard live and usibg the MIDI tracks as background.
Are there any links to step by step tutorials on how I can lerarn this procedure? Please offer any advice and links if you can and thanks for your help

Not really practical, I'm afraid. Capturing screenshots and cutting them up is possible with Photoshop, but PDF editing is very limited (fix a typo, move a picture).

Drag and Drop Midi file problem

Hi,
I have a simple mid file downloaded from internet that quicktime plays perfectly well, however, when I try to drag and drop it into an empty logic 8 project, all I get is a simple track with virtually no midi info (and no sound whatsoever).
Is there anything I have to do to import a midi file? I know I have to assign instruments and stuff, but this doesn't seem to be correctly added. I have almost never worked with midi files, but I remember Logic (and GarageBand) used to create all the tracks and such.
Any ideas what could I be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Martin.

Be aware that:
Midi files from the interweb nearly always have volume and pan info at the start before any notes, which will often drive your faders to plus 6, so consider deleting that info before you start.
Yes, I've seen those (tho it took me some time to realize why my faders were at 6 when I pressed play… :S
Also, something that made me pull my hair out, if a midifile has an organ, you'll see notes, but they wont play, because the organ plugin only works on midi channels 1, 2, 3, which I think relate to registers and pedals, so you may have to do a little copy/pasting, reassigning.
Thanks for the Tip!!

Midi Files Don't Work In FCE..and I don't have Quicktime pro to export it

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Express 1.0.1
I have a MIDI sound file that will not import into the application. Also, I don't have quicktime pro to export that file to a mp3 or aiff.
Does anybody know if their is a free plugin that will allow me to export my midi file or import it into Final Cut.

Try this, it may work -
Set iTunes Preferences > Importing > Import Using > AIFF Encoder
Set the AIFF Encoder preferences to 16 bit, stereo, 48KHz
Add the MIDI file to your iTunes library. This may convert your Midi file to AIFF.
If not, once the MIDI file is in your iTunes library,
Select the MIDI file in your iTunes library
Go to the Advanced menu and select 'Convert to AIFF'
Then export the AIFF file to your hard drive
Then import the AIFF into FCE

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files.

I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files I want to listen to online. These are Hymn files. And I get a message telling me I have a missing plugin. Any ideas?

My husband used to be able to convert ABC files to MIDI files . This allows sheet music to be played on the computer so as to learn a tune. We get the Missing Plug in message.
I downloaded the Quicktime 7. I open Quick time, Still get the message. What is the solution?
If you need to look at an example, go to "The Session" website:

Midi file Logic Express 7.2 and Sibelius 4.10

Hi All
I am using Logic Express 7.2 to export a midi file then importing it into Sibelius 4.10, this works fine on G5 mac but not on an intel iMac.
The Sibelius error is "There was a problem opening the midi file: Not a format 0 or 1 midi file"
I have contacted Sibelius support and they have said this is a Logic problem.
My own research has shown that if the logic file has only one track and I export a midi Sibelius will open it but not a multiple track file. As mentioned above G5 macs have no problem whatsoever.
Has anyone come across this or have any suggestions please. Thanks

I have discovered one thing, after deleting preferences,etc.: it seems that everything start because my evolution USB keyboard is connected with usb to powerbook. I have tried also with another USB Edirol keyboard, and it's the same. Instead, if I connect the keyboard with MIDI the 1082 works again. Strange because: 1) before update, usb and firewire were connected and everything was fine, 2) now in the same usb port a guitar rig board is connected and the 1082 works as usual... ?!?!?!?!
