Re: Classical Music Requests

Scintill, would you mind taking me through the process of how you make these? What programs and stuff do you use? Also, how do you add pedaling to MIDI files? This would be really useful for some stuff I need to do for school.

Re: Classical Music Requests

As I said (maybe in another thread) I use Noteworthy Composer, there is a simple pedal function in it which look like this:
Sustain Pedal:
And to stop it:
After I did this, changed a few notes, changed some volume, I save the new midi.
Thereafter I open it in Fruity Loops, replace the midi-sound with a VSTi (I use EDIROL Orchestral for like 95% of my .mp3's), quantize if necessary, then spend 10-20 minutes equalizing and compressing to a good smooth sound. Export it as a .mp3 and upload it on 2Shared

Requesting Chopin Etude Op. 10 - 3

Re: Classical Music Requests

op. 10 no 3 is already in-game!

(meaning I have the midi, if you want it.)

Re: Classical Music Requests

(Edited)*
I don't see what you like about that Rachmaninov Prelude, it's not very interesting and it wouldn't make a fun file. Plus the bpm is stuck at 120 in the midi...

*Edit: Wait, that's the etude you're talking about mate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuvXP...eature=related

Edit v2: Ice Wolf, unfortunately for me I will have to make your two Rachmaninoff Preludes myself, there are currently no existing midis of them on the internet, it may take a while...

Edit v3: Maybe I am going to make my own midi of that Coaxing the Piano song, but I don't know when or if I will

Edit v4: Ehh... I can't make midis, because all midi sounds have stopped!
I don't get any sound out of any midi-instrument, in none of my programs O.o
This is the first time this has happened, has anyone else had this before? And if so, do you know what to do about it?
(P.S: Yes, my volume is on...)

As I said, I just wanted to see how they turn out. Don't feel like you have to make them. If I do make some requests, I'll make sure you have a decent MIDI file first. (Here's a MIDI for Ondine if you want to do it instead: http://www.classicalmidiconnection.c...ravel/GASPARD1 This would make one heck of a file, I might add.)

As for doing it myself, I think I'm starting to understand a little more. Right now I need help on actually replacing the MIDI sound with a VST in FL Studio. Would you explain how that works?

Re: Classical Music Requests

Eh, maybe i'm just going off of playing it. That piece is really fun to play.

And I've never had my midi instrument disappear... try re-loading the software?

Re: Classical Music Requests

Have you checked if, specifically, your SW Synth is on, instead of your main volume?

Re: Classical Music Requests

I'd love to see George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, but I don't have the time or resources to make a midi of it.

Re: Classical Music Requests

1. Fixed my midi-problem, somehow my Midi Output changed to a custom setting *shrugs*
2. I already added Ondine
3. Ice Wolf's VST question:
Right, to start off, I may assume you have a screen that looks something like this once you open a midi?

To replace a sound with a VST, right-click the block that (in this image that is) says "Ondine: M...", go to the replace tab and replace it with, for example, Sytrus. This is how you replace the midi with a STANDARD VSTi of Fruity Loops.

Now, there are many VSTs on the internet, some are free to download, and mostly come as a .zip
Once you have downloaded a VST plugin, extract the folder (or just the .dll if there is no folder) to your VSTPlugins folder (this folder was added when you installed FL).
If you've done that, open Fruity Loops and go to the Channels tab, to the Add One tab and click "More..."

In the right-bottom corner is a button that says "Refresh", click it, then click on "Fast scan (recommended). It SHOULD say in red words "1 new plugin has been found" or something and that plugin should thereby be added to the list. Click the block left of it so it turns into an F:

Now you can replace your standard midi-sound with this plugin the way I explained in the beginning.

I hope this has helped you out, because it's now half past 3 at night, I'm going to bed, I'll answer further questions tomorrow

Re: Classical Music Requests

Wow, pictures and everything. Thanks. I'll look into it more tomorrow as it is getting late here, too.

Oh yeah... that easy file... forgot about that. <_<

But it's cut. I like the part that comes after where the file ends.
