Anyone knows if it possible to make your own and how it would work? I'm a little behind technically and 'just discovered' them

James"Thunder"Early · 03-06-2004, 09:29 PM

I am not sure how to make them. I think they come from an electronic keyboard and are the transfered into the computer.

There are some MIDI Editors that will allow you to actually build a MIDI completely on-screen, but it's a genuine pain in the BLANK.

Generally, you need a MIDI-compatible keyboard, linked to your computer, to compose quality MIDI (Which, vis a vis, requires some actual keyboard/piano skills)

You crazy s.o.b., you read my freaking mind. I was sitting at dinner this evening, and this cool idea popped in my head for a musical score. I was wondering if there was some kind of MIDI program that would let me build a song...weird.

A program called Sibelius lets you make your own score on you computer.

Cool; thanks but that's not for me since I don't have any musical skills

Now isn't that a bitch.

Why does everything require some sort of skills or talent? My god, just to make a simple MIDI file one has to have certain skills and all of that extra keyboard crap to boot. There goes some time, energy, and money that could be used for something more productive like watching television. How about we just start stealing other people's work and taking the credit for it? Lie, cheat, and steal: That's the American way.

People are selling movies that have not already have reached a movie theatre and/or already out in theatres to download on their computers and make burnt DVD's to people with a price and the feds are cracking down hard on them!!
