Sound requested - Urgent!

Kenichi-SNK · 09-12-2005, 03:11 PM

Heyas, iv been making music for a while now and i need your help.

Right click and save target as..

I am desperate to get that piano sound (at the very beginning of the song) in WAV format but i cant seem to locate or even create it -_-, Can anybody help me?

If you help me then as soon as i finish the project i will share it with FFR

I am going to create a FF7-Mako Reactor techno remix, im doing good at it but i need only this sound. If anyone could share the sound with me if they have it (without echo's, just like in the midi) i would be very appreciative and also give you much credit and thanks within the release comments and file comments.

Thx a bunch!

since its a midi, it somewhere in the microsoft midi GM soundbank

depending what version you have the piano sound could be different

so your best finding a way to do it yourself

Kenichi-SNK · 09-25-2005, 03:00 PM

Um...thx for....thx for...wtf man if ur no help then why post?

**Jihnsius** · 09-25-2005, 09:07 PM

What you're asking for is a MIDI sound effect. You can easily do that yourself by adding a MIDI bank and finding that sound.

Kenichi-SNK · 09-29-2005, 08:48 AM

Ah this information is what i need

Unfortunately my skill in the use of MIDI's are... zero. Dont suppose i could get a small step by step tutorial? Its just one sound i need to extract from a MIDI song, thats pretty much it.

**Jihnsius** · 09-29-2005, 03:28 PM

There's really nothing to it.
Open the MIDI in whatever program you're using. Delete all channels except for the one that has the sound that you want. Find the part in the song in which the sound is played, and copy that note (or series of notes). Delete all notes, then paste what you've copied.

Kenichi-SNK · 09-29-2005, 04:12 PM

And that will extract a MIDI single sound to a wav?.... ?eh?

Im using winamp 5 and that only allows me to open it up and save it again. WIth the music software i use I cant touch anything unless it is in wav or mp3 format. I can use Goldwave audio converter to change most things into wav format, but that sound i need doesnt play on its own so i cant cut it out. It might look like it does play on its own in the song, but just before the sample finishes it plays another so just cutting it out the hard way isnt going to give me any good results anyway :/

**Jihnsius** · 09-29-2005, 09:45 PM

www.modplug.com

Modplug Tracker is free. It opens MIDIs.

**Jihnsius** · 09-29-2005, 09:46 PM

Wait a second, I thought you said you were producing? Most production tools can open MIDIs. What are you using?

Kenichi-SNK · 09-30-2005, 08:16 AM

Im using many kinds of Ejay's, the ones i have will only accept pure high quality wavs. It will accept mp3's but it decodes em down to wav for me. Its a bummer really but the software is fine when producing. Ejay's really need to widen up thier tools, but since the software is cheap i aint complaining in any way

I tried FruityLoops but the way it is laid out...i cant do a thing with it. I need decent software for music making thats easier to use, i like programs that work like Ejay's or Music/Music2000 for PS1 < big fan of all these.

EDIT: That link u gave me comes up on Google too but it appears to be down or non existant now or at this moment :/

**sleeplessdragn** · 09-30-2005, 06:42 PM

Fruity Loops is actually considered to be one of the more simpler music creation softwares. So much so in fact that most people who use it are considered unprofessional and not very serious.

Fruity Loops has the capability of decoding MIDI and at the very least showing you the notes within the tracks.

Aerogroove · 10-1-2005, 12:29 AM

are you talking about getting the midi notes or the piano sound itself?

Kenichi-SNK · 10-3-2005, 04:14 PM

Inside that MIDI song i put in post #1 i want to extract ONLY the piano sound on its own so i can use it to place in a new song im making, so i need that MIDI single sound turning into a wav so Ejay can take it in. Any tutorial of doing that using Fruity Loops? (whilst i go *cough* purchase it)

**sleeplessdragn** · 10-4-2005, 04:38 AM

For the piano sound, it shouldn't be too hard to zoink up a few oscillators and get it pretty close.

The notes you can find by opening up the piano roll to any sample and going to the piano options in the top left, File --> Import MIDI data.

From there a small window should open asking you to specify which tracks from the MIDI to show and which channels. After that just hit ok and the MIDI note data is placed into the piano roll. You can copy/paste/cut/delete/fap etc etc from there.

Kenichi-SNK · 10-5-2005, 01:46 AM

Copy/paste where? Im a total noob at any of this.

Gawd i cant stand FruityLoops no matter how long i look at it i dont know what the heck im doing. :/

EDIT: Omg im getting NO sound when using midi's in FruityLoops, aight screw Fruityloops thats the last straw iv had playing with the stupid thing *uninstalls in disgust*

,-_-

**Moogy** · 10-5-2005, 08:07 AM

You have to set FL up to use your MIDI device when it starts up.

PS: Don't use MIDI piano, or any MIDI instruments. They're all terrible. (Kil - "I attest to this fact from Florida!") Use the FL Keys if you must have piano.

Aerogroove · 10-5-2005, 10:29 AM

Why are you telling him not to use the midi piano, isnt that what he wants?
If you want the piano sound you need to open up an channel and set the midi port to which ever one the Microsoft GM Soundbank is on. It should be under the midi tab in the options, it lets you freely assign port numbers to your midi devices. But when you export it there will be no sound, so you need to just capture it in realtime with microsoft sound recorder instead.
Not sure if this will work but once you get the sound working add a fruity free filter onto the master fx and blow the cutoff wide open. This way it wont change the sound but you might be able to render it that way. FL can can only render what is playing inside it, it cant caputure the stuff being sent outside itself, so by adding the filter in fruity you might be able to capture the sound, not sure though, i dont know the exact mechanism it uses when rendering.
If that doesnt work you can use the realtime recording feature,you know the little floppy icon on the bottom right of the fx panel. you can look in the help to figure out how to use it.

Kenichi-SNK · 10-5-2005, 12:22 PM

Doesnt matter guys i'll have to go buy another ejay, there is one built with the piano keyboard feature ect. FruityLoops can sizzle to bytes in my recycle bin.

Thx for the help Aero and others, i guess i should apologise too for probably making you check stuff like that. ^^; sowwy.

When you put the midi in did you try assigning it a generator like FL keys so it would actually have an instrument to play it with? Because the way I do it I import the midi file and then assign the instruments to the track else it will just play without sound.

Kenichi-SNK · 10-7-2005, 08:59 AM

FL showed me the notes playing on a Oscilope thing as if it was playing aloud, but alas i got nothing out of my speakers. It doesnt matter anyways ^^;
