SMF 0 errors

[barcodeboy]

Hi,

need help with downloading midi's. When i do so only some of them play on my keyboard. My keyboard is SMF 0 format yet some of the files say they are not in this format. How do i download a file in this format so they work??

THANX

If I remember correctly, in SMF 0 format all the channels (instruments) are combined into one track in the midi file. You would have to convert files that have multiple tracks into one.

How do I do that??????

Seems like using sequencer software, like cakewalk....

opening the midi and using 'Save As...' and selecting MIDI format 0, might be a good place to start.

go to google and type a search for 'miditype' and u should eventually get a program that does it with no hassle. i use it and its ery good. the icon is a few piano keys. just keep looking and u will get it eventually. ;)

I have a free format convertor, converts from format 0 to format 1 and back. It's a tool from Korg.

You can download it on http://www.mididesign.be/software.asp

Download the SMF format convertor (only 5.3k).

Kind regards,
Alain
