Good Day Folks
I’m new on the forum, and need some urgent advice: As a musician I used to work with midi files as backing tracks using a very early version of Cakewalk as a simple means to edit. I would then save to a floppy disk and use a Roland SD35 midi player for live stage playback. Fine, but this was some years back, and now things have changed. I now have a few hundred midi files that were mapped for Roland Sound Canvas, which I believe is no longer used much because the instrument sounds have improved on more recent software – so I’m told. The dilemma: I am starting a new project with another musician, and we need to resurrect these midi files. I need: 1) A software program that will edit midi files down to individual instruments and effects. 2) That will recognize the current Roland Sound Canvas mapping so I don’t have to spend an hour on each song to re-map. 3) That will also allow for simple home recording, able to export to MP3 / WAV and to burn onto CD, and thus to have a CD to use as my new backing material. 4) Also, what hardware / interface I need for this simple home recording set up. Please be gentle – I am not a recording engineer, so I know diddly squat. Simplicity but powerful will be the key, and I’m not aiming at becoming a commercial recording studio. |

It needs to be said that I've never seen a soft synth that used General MIDI. Preset #27 is always the same instrument on all do-it-all synths it just may have a different sound the synth next to it. With the software stuff, I've never seen a do it all synth. Instead they may have a VST instrument that simulates an old Prophet or an old B3. Some people used to General MIDI have a hard time switching to the more free for all method. Quote:
