midi files

Hi I've imported some midi chord files into maschine 2 and I can see the midi files in maschine 2 but when I press the play button I can't hear any sound coming from the midi chords is there away that you can hear the midi chord files after you have imported them into maschine 2.

 

Did you import into a pattern in Pad mode or keyboard mode. In pattern mode (grid view) notes are reassigned to C3 to fit into the Pad mode scheme and only maps 16 notes. You need to load the Midi into the sound slot in Keyboard mode and all notes will be properly assigned. The pad mod reassignment is a little difficult to explain, but I have some example midi files somewhere that make it a bit clearer... I will try to dig them up and post them.

 

Hi I've just loaded the midi into sound slot in keyboard mode but I still can't hear and sound coming from the midi file.

 

Ummm...you need to load an actual instrument in sound slot 1 in order to hear anything....

 

Ok was that the right way to load the midi file into the sound slot in keyboard mode

 

Yes..

 

Thanks blindeddie I took what you said about needing to load a actual instrument into the sound slot so I loaded a actual keyboard sound into a sound slot then loaded the midi file onto the same sound slot as the actual keyboard sound and now I can hear the midi files being played thanks again your man with the master plan
