Hi,
I'm rather new to midi and Sonaris the first sequencing program I've bought -
About 7 years ago I wrote a whole pile of music for a theatre company on a Yamaha W7 - I recorded it all on the hardware sequencer and saved it in its
proprietary format as well as creating a midi file.
That synth has long since left me, but I still have the .midi files.
What I would like to do is put those midi files into Sonar and replace the sounds with my new crop of soft synths...
If i play the midi file on its on (even with RealPlayer or something) they sound fine, in terms of notes, timing, etc... obviously through General Midi sounds,
But when I load them into Sonar, they're a total mess, in every way. Some tracks make NO sound, and the whole thing goes crazy...
Is there something I should be doing when I open them in Sonar? I would like the timing, volume and general information to remain, but i completely want to discard the sound associations and replace them with new ones...
There is a dialog box when I open a midi file, is there anything I should be un/checking to facilitate this?
I'm lost! Help! Please!
