BeatBuddy notes are consistent but don’t have every type of note assignment for extra techniques etc. Be sure to solo the drum before exporting for a single channel 10 track.Īssuming all the above is good, then there are the note assignments. Default export will create a multi-track output file. Whatever track the drums are on is assigned channel 10. Guitar Pro Midi Export: Format Type 1, can contain multiple tracks depending on the solo/mute selection. Channel 10 should be Drums.īeatBuddy’s midi files are Format Type 1 (separate instruments per track) with a single instrument on track 1 assigned to channel 10 - GM Drums.ĮZDrummer: Format Type 0 (all instruments on one track like a master mix) They contain a single track with drums on channel 1 which is normally Piano. GM does suggest instruments go on designated channels. Drums,Gtr,Bass,Vocals don’t have a specific track assignment any more than a recording console has dedicated instrument channel strips until the engineer assigns them. Tracks in a midi file are just like a multitrack recorder. The steps below show how to check to see what format a midi file is, what channels are in it, what notes are assigned to what channels and to remap notes to other values. In summary I was able to use free utilities, scripting and the OSX Automator utility to set my system up so that I can right click on a file and select either a format check to look at the track layout/type or to convert it from Type 1 or Type 0 and remap notes. is too long to waste on a repetitive conversion.
Spending even 5 mins per file adjusting notes, tracks etc.
I started out thinking about converting all my loops to BB or making custom kits but since there at compatibility reasons for needing to keep originals, and ToonTrack would need a huge instrument map I decided to do only as needed but even then quickly tired of single file fiddling around. This is an article on Midi remapping via scripts so that manual midi editing is not needed to get EZDrummer, Guitar Pro and other midi formats to conform to the more or less General Midi assignments used by Beat Buddy, but it could be used for any midi format transformation needs.
