Splitting midi parts

Hi All,
can anyone tellme how to split midi parts up, i.e. if I got a midifile which has a brass section in one part but I would like to split the parts up trumpet/saxes/trombone/baritone etc. and use diff. instruments to trigger the sounds.
Is there a quick way to do this.
When I used to use Digitalperformer there was a v. good split notes facility which would allow you to send selected notes to a new midi channel etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I assume your original MIDI file is outside of LOGIC and has each part on a unique MIDI channel (Format 1, I think). If so, import the file and it should send each MIDI channel to a separate track such that there are as many regions as there are MIDI channels from the original.
I import the MIDI file using (APPLE-I) or File>Import . My system does this "breaking out" of the MIDI file automatically. There may be a preference setting of which I'm unaware, however.
If the file is currently in LOGIC, you could Export the File (as Format 1, I think) and then re-import the file.
Hope this works for you,
Mitch

  • Splitting Midi To different tracks

    Hey,
    Is there anyway to split a midi part to separate channels. Let me explain - Say you have you sequence a kick snare and hihat on one midi part. Then is there an option to split each part to there own channel (so the kick will be on one track and the snare will be on its own etc).
    Sounds complicated but this means you could then mix down better and add different parameters to each part. I know you can do this in Cubase so was wondering if there was something similar on Logic.
    Cheers.

    There are several ways to deal with this. If you are using something like BFD, Superior, etc - make a multi instance of the virtual instrument. In the VI assign each drum to a different output bus, then each drum will come up on a seperate channel in your mixer..
    If you were using a stereo instance - would be to mute all drums, but the kick, and record that to audio, then the snare, hats, etc. One at a time, that way you have complete control over it. You can go back later, and replace the snare, change pitch etc. without disturbing the rest of the mix.

  • Creating a Staff without a midi part??

    Hi,
    I'm trying to score something in Logic. If look at scoring in the manual, it tells me "a staff must exist" before you can score (well obviously!).
    Is it possible for me to create a score before a midi part exists. So can I create a new project, go to score editor and start scoring? If so, how to I create a new staff/stave to work with. When I bring up the score window, it says nothing to display.
    Any help would be really useful.
    Regards
    T.

    Hi
    you just need to create an Empty Region for first in the Arrange..
    after that, select the emty region and open the score page.
    you can use Pencil tools to create an Empty region

    Are your MC Mix in Eucon mode? If you use a midi mode, there's a possibility the MC Mix is sending MIDI messages. And are you sure we're talking midi parts and not automation?

  • Splitting MIDI?

    Is it possible to split a MIDI file, to 2 arrays: one with the notes, and one with the duration of the notes?
    We have a project on school, we need to load in a MIDI file, then get the note that the player is playing, and match it with an image.
    Anyone there who can help ? :) Thnx!

  • Splitting midi tracks?

    I start by creating a new project and a single software track
    I then choose a drum kit from the media library
    with the Caps Lock on I hit Record and bash out some different drums on my computer keyboard.
    With the track and region selected I choose Midi / Separate Midi Events / By Note Pitch
    and the midi notes separate on to different tracks
    But they still behave like one track
    If I click Solo or Mute they all highlight.
    When I open the mixer there is only one channel strip
    Not ten separate channel strips
    What am I doing wrong?
    thanks

    You are not doing anything wrong here: this is how Logic works when you do a "split by note pitch". The result will be multiple Arrange tracks that all 'talk' to the same Instrument channel.
    If you need to make them truly independent, you may have a couple of choices:
    Create some new duplicate tracks and move the regions to those
    or (maybe)
    Use multi-output Instrument Channels and Output Aux channels to get the 'separation' you need.

  • Splitting midi commands among different tracks

    Some time ago, someone posted a technique to split different midi parameters among different tracks in the arrange window. It was for an orchestral score, done this way to get tight control and automation on the parameters.
    I've looked for that post for several days, but cannot find it. Does someone know who posted it?
    I'd appreciate any help.

  • Split midi notenumbers to several tracks

    First of all I'am new to Logic...
    I record the MIDI from our drummers Roland TD-12 to a MIDI track in Logic.
    Problem with this is that the complete kit is on 1 track... what I would like is to split the incoming MIDI info to diffetent tracks.
    So that the hi-hat midi is on 1 track and the snare midi is on another, etc.
    Can this be done?
    If so than I'm able to process the tracks individualy with compression, eq and so on...
    greetings,
    Arjan

    I think there is a preference to automatically demix by channel, which is in the "song settings". But I don't think you can do it by note. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not in front of Logic now.
    In the former case, and if you don't need more than 16 tracks of this, then you can do it if you can assign different notes to different channels from the drumkit itself, or you can build an environment object to do it on Logic's input, but that's more complicated.
    Logic is really not designed well to do multitrack midi recording. The ways you do it are kind of a workaround.

  • How to split MIDI file?

    Hi , I'm new in this area of Java and I'm lost. How can I split a MIDI song in different song, each one had a differnet track of the MIDI file? Thanks

    Hi,
    MIDI files aren't necessarily music files they're data files. If you plan on doing a lot of work with midi's i suggest you use an API called JFugue (www.jfugue.org). Using this you can parse the file to a string getting something like this (C5q, D5q) meaning note C in the 5th octave to be played for a quarter of a note and D the same. Getting this as a string makes it very easy to split and manipulate.
    Hope this helps,
    Jenn

  • PTax ded Twice incase of WPBP SPLIT (Mid month Transfer)

    Hi Friends:
    In SAP, whenever an Employee transfers from one state to another then system deducts P Tax Twice in that Payroll Period and this is a standard behaviour. (Due to two Splits and two regions)
    Ex: 1- 15 in MH and 16 to 30 in AP then P tax of MH is deducted for 1-15 days GROSS and P Tax of AP deducted for GROSS on 16 to 30.
    Now, i want to deduct only the P Tax for the Last split record in that Payroll Period. That is P tax for Extire GROSS to be deducted based on AP Region slab.
    Has anyone faced this scenario/ issue. Any Exits/ BADI's available to achieve this?
    regards,
    Srikanth

    Hi
    If you want to differ from the standard calculation then you can use the BADI

  • Random Transposition of MIDI Part?

    Hi all,
    I don't know what I did, but for some reason one MIDI track (out of about 7) suddenly found itself transposed from a C to an E. The MIDI controller has been affected, too (i.e. to get a C note I have to play an E note on the controller).
    I have no idea what has happened (I'm not a MIDI guy). Can anyone suggest where to look to fix this?

    hey pal, just saw your post. I love midi- everything about it. I did not flash on your answer as of this moment- but as I'm working today or whenever (like ASAP) I'll make a note to jot down an answer. I get ****** because I spend so much time going back and forth from the inside environment windows just manipulating stuff for my midi setups. And Logic keeps forgetting my keyboard re-assignments for key shortcuts [even though I save everything-and I mean •everything• I do. I wear out the ⌘S buttons... I got something vaguely similar just yesterday, my Kurzweil keyboard which dup's as a controller besides having some ******* sounds was like an 1/8 or a 16th of a semitone flat. So I'm already in your ballpark. Lotta cats today think midi is passe- that's because they don't know midi codes or can't understand 'em. Mixing midi with software and audio stuff all together is the sh*t. And as for the Logic know-it-all that answered your question- how's he know if you don't mean -7 1/2 steps... never assume anything...

  • Inline email images 'splitting' into parts

    I've a problem with images in emails appearing as broken segments of the same image, which happens in Safari and Chrome, and Mailplane's app.

    It appears that the image above is made up of a number of smaller images. The browser (and Mailplane) are breaking the image up into its parts.
    The matter gets a little more complicated. Below is how it displays in the iPhone Gmail app

  • Converting drummer to midi and split into separate tracks

    The drummer app in logic pro is great. I can then convert a phrase into mdi and copy to my own track for further modifications. Also great. But is there an easy way to convert a drummer track into midi, and to split each part of the drum (hh, snare, kick etc) out into their own bespoke tracks? So that each part of the drum is then on its own track for futher processing and control.

    Thanks to all for advice, tips and ideas. Just shows that there is no one way to do something in LPX.
    Here is what I have found works for me, so that I can take a great groove from the drummer track, convert to midi (so that I can modify the drum part), split the kit components out to individual tracks, then ensure each kit part has its own channel strip so that each part can be fully managed independently:
    The drummer track is great for brilliant drum parts. But to make your own edits you want to convert the drum part to a midi track.
    To this:
    Highlight the drummer track and r/click Convert To Midi Region.
    Create a new track, then copy the midi region above into this new track.
    In the new midi track, r/click the midi region, then select Separate By Note Pitch.
    This auto creates a new track for each drum part, but they all share the same channel strip, so changing volume on one changes it on all.
    To put these kit components into separate trax, do this:
    To move them into unique channel strips, create a new midi/software track for each drum part, then drag each part from the original split into each of the new tracks. They now have their own channel strip.
    Delete the original drummer and channel split trax.
    You know have full independent control over each drum part. Assign your required drum kit to these trax and head bang away.

  • Standard Midi File Import/Export Questions

    Hi,
    I'm having some trouble with Standard MIDI files, in that, after exporting them, and importing them back into another Logic project to test them, some of them will split/demix. That is, instead of one MIDI region appearing, it imports as two MIDI regions, with the notes of the part split between the two regions (the notes seem to split according to velocity, not note value).
    Here is my question related to this:
    Is it possible to export a Standard MIDI File for each "part" in a project, rather than one SMF for all the MIDI files in a project? (i.e., create one SMF for each software instrument track)? This is what I'm trying to do. The reason is that I'm trying to prepare and save some MIDI files to include with the audio files in a remix pack, and, since it's likely that the various remixers will be using different DAWs such as Cubase, I'm assuming that a SMF that includes all the various parts might not import into their program correctly. Is my assumption wrong? I.E., will most DAWs, like Cubase, etc., correctly import a SMF that includes all parts, and upon import split those parts correctly?
    I'm following all the instructions for "Saving Standard MIDI Files" from the Logic Pro manual, except that I am not merging all the different instruments' MIDI regions together; I'm only merging each individual parts' MIDI regions.
    Thanks!

    Well I think the problem is solved. There was a conflict between Logic and iLife 06. I bought a new computer this week and had to load everything into it. I decided not to put in iLife 06 yet including Garageband and all the jam packs. I loaded all the new .caf files off the Logic DVD
    I opened a midi file and all tracks loaded with Logic instruments. the problem was that a lot of the instruments had been erased somehow or over written by Logic studio. Now I believe they are all there and things are working as they should

  • Creating and Saving My Own Midi Loops/Instrument

The same way other midi parts work so when you drag the midi out of the loop browser and into your session it loads both the part and the instrument at the same time?
