1. Open (load) the midi file.
2. Press Digital Recording, then select Song Creator.
3. Tab to Channel, then using the "B" button scroll down to Setup.
4. Press the Mixing Console button repeatedly until the midi channels are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
5. Set the volume sliders on the appropriate channels to the desired level, or to zero if you want no sound at all.
6. Press Exit once to return to the Song Creator screen. Press Execute, then press Save.
7. When the screen song title screen appears, provide the midi file with a new song title--just to be on the safe side, then press the bottom of the #6 button to save the selection.
You can also change the overall volume of the midi file using the same procedure, but this must be done one channel at a time. If the Execute button is not highlighted, tab to Chord, then tab back to channel and it should be highlighted.
I was hoping to change the overall volume using the same technique, but the volume did not save. For this, however, you can use Michael Bedesem's MIDI Player, which does an excellent job and the program is free at
http://www.svpworld.com/beta/ You must download the full version first, then download the 703 update.
For transposing, you can do this one channel at a time, making sure not to transpose the drum channel(s), press Execute, then save using the same process.
Transposing can also be done using Heiko Plate's PSR-UTILITY program, which is available at
www.heikoplate.de .
To change the tempo of the midi file, merely press the play button while in Song Creator, then adjust the tempo using the normal tempo button. Stop the song, then press Execute and go through the same saving process.
That's all there is to it.
Cheers,
Gary
