Both over 2 measures and ending at half tempo (50%). In 'Part Settings' window I add 'Count In' (volume 80) to Intro A.Īnd I add Ritardando to Ending A and Ending B. These latest 6 channels can be assigned to any of the "normal" instrument channels in the style. In the previous step we decided to use channel 10 as the drum channel.īesides this we decided to use channel 1 and channel 2 as melody lines in intros and endings (we will return to this later) and channel 3, 4, 5 and 6. It is a problem to get more than one of these parts as there is only one of each present in the source MIDI file! Note that I only have selected two Intros and two Endings. This is done by using 'Use measures as' in the 'Part Selector' in the top of the window. This is try and error!Īfter some testing with the MIDI player I transfer the loop settings in the player to the bottom of the 'Piano Roll'. Now start to play blocks of measures to find good loopable main parts. The first two channels are dedicated to play melody, and the later three being the least active channels. (A conversion not using melody lines can be found below). I decide to use the channel 1 and channel 2 as melody lines in intros and endings (or at least some of these).
We could forget the melody lines in intros and endings and use 2 of the 3 channels omitted in the first place (channel 7, 8 and 9). If we want to use melody line channels (1 and 2) in the style we have to omit channel 7, 8 and 9 or some other more active channels. In these parts you are supposed to play the melody line yourself ! These could be good intro parts in the style.īut these two channels play the melody line, and melody lines will normally not be used in Main and Fill parts. Actually we have two organs in the intro: Hammond Organ in channel 1 and Church Organ in channel 2. We have a nice organ intro in the MIDI file. Let us listen to the MIDI file once again to get some ideas about what to do. (Well, channel 10 has to have "drum and percussion".) Normally the channels having the most activity are preferable to the style but no rules without exceptions. We notice that most activity is in channel 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10. Open the 'More Settings' window at take a look at 'MIDI File Properties'.
Now we will examine the file content, mostly the note activity in channels. This means that 3 "normal" voice channels must be omitted. The style can have 6 voice channels only. We have got 9 voice channels + 1 drum channel. (This archive contains the MIDI file, the Conversion Data file and the resulting style file).
