Extracting specific tracks from imported MIDI files
I have a Roland (TD7) drum module that came with many good sample
tunes. Recently I managed to download these samples via MIDI cable to my PC and want to isolate just the drum parts so I can play along better. I use Cakewalk Sonar and Guitar Pro to "look" at the MIDI files, but can't seem to get the drum parts isolated. (The Playback of MIDI sounds perfect, but the track mapping of the sample songs is all garbled into a single track for some reason). My understanding of MIDI, is that eack track is mapped to instrument and one can pick and choose the track needed to record over or play. For example, in Guitar Pro, most files are seen as: Track 1: Electric Guitar - ............ notes .......... Track 2: Piano ..............notes .......... Track 3: Drums .............notes ........ etc, etc..... When I import a MIDI file, shouldn't it map to the proper track automatically, so I can isolate the instruments I "care' about. Thanks, Ron |

alt.guitar: it's probably a "type 0" midi file (???); yeah, that's legit. I think there's a cakewalk .cal script that will break that out for you; it will split each instrument (or maybe each channel) into a separate track. Seems to me that when you open a type 0 MIDI file with Sonar, it does put each channel on a separate track. Usually the drums are all on channel 10, so they will be on one track. There is a CAL called "Split Notes to Tracks.CAL" that will separate each drum to a separate track. It's available at the Cakewalk site: ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/CAL/ I also have another CAL called "Drumsplit" or something that does a similar job. If you can't find it and you want to try it, please email me (remove the obvious spam foiler text in the address.) |

Thanks, Ron I use Cool Edit Pro 2.1 and it does a spectacular job of just singling out one track. You can right click on the file once you have it in Cool Edits multitrack view and select any single or multiple instruments. I dont know why many people dont refer to this software because it does everything you can think of and is soooooooo easy to use. |

I use Audition 1.5 and will not upgrade as it's a terrible re-learning curve. I know people who did and they continue to use 1.5 for most jobs. Before Audition I owned and used most Cool Edit versions, which as you say, are very easy and very functional. The biggest problem is now that nobody can buy this stuff since Adobe fecked it in such a huge way. I now recommend Sonar to those wanting decent and "cheap". Rv! |

I am glad I have backups on CD because I love Cooledit Pro. I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever and that is very rare in PC based programs. All the VST's I have and every other plugin I can think of works great with it too. Now I just have to figger out how to utilize those plugins. :-) |
