The Transpose box allows the user to specify a transpose value ( in semitones) for any
incoming non-percussion (ie: Bass) events.
The Midi Channel box: is used to specify which channel of the Midifile is to be
imported as the bass line. If the default setting of "< >10" is retained , then the
Pattern Editor imports and displays all non-percussion notes as a bass line . To limit
bass import to just one channel, the user should select the desired channel in the box.
Checking "Remember midi file " allows the last selected midifile to be remembered
automatically when the user selects the "Import Midi" command.
• When all parameters have been set, click on "OK". A number of measures of the midi
file equal to the current number of measures in the pattern editor will be imported.
If the midifile is larger than the current number of measures you will get the message
"Pattern too large", but this is just a routine message, not an error.
NB: All notes in the imported midi file will be quantized automatically to the nearest
division
• Save the imported midi section as a Rhythm pattern.
• Repeat the operation to import and save further sections of the midi file.
Import problems can arise if there are percussion instruments in the midi file not
available in the current Pattern Editor instrument set. This will generate an error
message "Import Problems" in the bottom left hand corner of the Pattern Editor. By
Clicking on this message the user can view a list of the midi notes that are failing to
import . There are a number of ways of fixing the problem.
1) If possible change an instrument midi number in the Pattern Editor to the number
of the "problem" note.
2) Close the Pattern Editor and edit the relevant *.ahi file in the Pattern Editor
folder to allow "Midi mapping" (See below).
3) In a few cases it may be better to use another (different) drums.ahi file which has
a closer match to the incoming instruments.
10. Using the Pattern Editor at increased resolution for the PS02 (Advanced Users)
