Sib. 3.x: Sibelius as a midi editor?
Posted by Jan Wright - 20 Apr 12:00PM
I have a digital piano with its own 16 track sequencer and I've composed my piece and saved it as a midi file.

I now want to load it into Sibelius add some ralls to it (and also changes some volumes would be nice) and then save it back to a midi file.

I've tried importing it into Sibelius and set all the appropriate settings to have as minimum impact on the file as possible. I've added my tempo changes and then done a save as ... in midi format.

Unfortunately sibelius has made changes other than to the tempo.

Am I being too hopeful trying to get sibelius to work in this way?

Can anyone recommend a free midi editor download that would allow me to do the job?

The midi file I'm trying to import is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5359737/KR57_011.MID

and the one created by sibelius is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5359737/performance.mid

Many thanks for any ideas.

John.

Get a sequencer.

While not free Reaper (www.cockos.com) has a 30 day free trial and continues to be functional thereafter. There are more sophisticated midi sequencing programs out there but it can certainly get the job done.

I'd be interested to know what differences you discern between the two MIDI files. Certainly a cursory bar-by-bar examination of the result of importing them into Sibelius doesn't show anything too peculiar.
