dtxtrmpt Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I was browsing around the internet during class today and found a site that has a whole bunch of midi files that you can listen to. It had Appalachian Spring, one of my favorite pieces. That was one of the coolest things I've ever heard. A 25 minute long midi. How do you make songs into midi files? Do you have to rewrite them all? Or is there a program that will make them? Just wondering.... I should be asleep...but instead I'm posting on here.... zzzzzgoodnight!

Hawkeye Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 You can make them using a program, if you have any music editing software, there might be a function in there that can do it. If not, use Google and you can find some programs to do it, off the top of my head, I cannot recommend any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Midi files, though with help of computers, have to be written by hand. Basically, mp3 (etc) is a digital file of a recording. A midi is a series of computer generated tones... its not recorded from anything. Basically, we don't have the technology to go from hearing chords on a digitial file from a recording and turning it into computer beeps. That being said, as Danpod mentioned, if you can get your hands on a score or have a great ear and a lot of patience, you can use software to write a midi.

bossman Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 To my recollection, you can scan your sheet music into your computer and Finale will read it and convert it for you. I've never tried a whole score, but i sure its possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
