#Create a midi file how to
If I go Edit - Select All - and then Export - I can't see how to get a new midi file out, which will be the medley (everything is greyed out). Now I want to create one new midi file of the medley (the output !). OK final quick question on this as a process - I've got the 2 midi files now in the one project. The Merish is loaded with the performance midi tracks as a playlist. So the VSTs will not help as they won't represent the actual sound (or volume etc) of the 'live' machine. I don't use the VSTs - I just play the midi out into my external GM sound machine (it's a Merish) which is actually used on stage for our band's midi backing tracks.

#Create a midi file series
And let's face it - midi is just a series of events. I did and still do all my editing in XGWorks (yes a Windows 98 editor !) - but frankly very easy to edit meta data. I am struggling to see how to insert types of meta data in the event list - but that's because it's all new. Must admit I don't find this event list easy to understand at the mo but it's all a bit new. Now I'm looking in the event list and can see by track the notes programme and volume commands etc where the which I know I will have to edit / remove esp at the transition from file 1 to file 2. Choose a template from the Song Templates option.

To start of, launch the NoteWorthy Composer application and then click on the File item and then point your mouse to the New item and click it. Now looks like your pasted screenshot 905133 ! The MIDI files that can be created in this application can be played back in any MIDI players or applications that can play MIDI files. Yes there are tracks in the 2nd file that need moving up / down so same patches (eg bass guitar) end up in a row. I've just played around with 2 midi files and got them in a new blank project 'in sequence' - ie one following the other. This will be different in every DAW, for example in Sonar Platinum you just drag the midi track to a folder in the media view. Thank you again guys for your help and esp 905133 for the screen shots. I just jumped in because I saw you wanted to place the files end-to-end, knew I could do it with audio files, and wanted to quickly test to see if it could also be done with *.mid files. Since I don't generally do this, I will defer to others who do and to others who know the relevant links in the online documentation and the correct pages in the Reference Guide. So, if a bass part were on track 3 in file 1, on track 7 in file 2, and track 2 in file 3, I did not drag them around, duplicate them and reassemble them into my own bass track, etc. I did not juggle the different clips on the different tracks to line them up. In my test, I used files with multiple tracks. (Apologies for using "concatenate." My bad.

Yes, I understood you wanted the files one-after-the-other. Just to be clear - each midi file typically has 12 tracks - so after the first file is loaded from measure 1 and ends at 120 - I need the 2nd midi file to start from measure 121.
