Making a style from a midifile - 10/22/08 01:19 PM
Hello,
A rather long message but I don"t attent so much.
I like to make a style from parts of a midifile. Now that midifiles have there own chord progression I have to transpose them to C maj. That is not a problem for me but I come to a certain problem.
So with the simple chord of F (fac) there is no problem 5 semitones down and you have CEG. But in the case I have a nice guitar accomp. where the chord exist of more tones
say fmaj7. Lower that to C gets CEFB or the chord Gm7 transpose to C = G bflat DF.
If you play a song with the autoplay chord and in the left hand a C chord there is no problem but with other chords playing it is totally out of tune.
I tried to erase the b flat in the specific chord and make it a simple triade chord but that gives not the exact full sound as in the midifile.
I looked into some built in styles how they solved the problem.
I saw the item Chord Modify Chance But how it exactly works? Even in the book How Do I Do That from Alex Pagida stated at page 49 below.
It is a good an wonderfull function but
Detailed explanation of this function....is outside the scope of this discussion.
So is there somebody who has experience of making styles from midifiles and had dealed with this kind of Chords and has a solution for it.
Doing all this is saw in the composer item by part setting heading Pitch point
by somestones there a note like a flat. What does it means for that tone.
