Sweet thanks so much people. I actually first transposed the snare line to the snare sound on the acoustic grand piano and then copied the whole staff and pasted it onto a new NWC file. Then I repeated with the other staffs. That way I have a version with the sound I want, and another one with the correct notes. There's probably other ways to do it, but I'm just very glad to have the Mp3 version exported. I dont need correct playback and notation on the same file, because I just export the .mid version and use itunes to convert it to AAC and then put it on my ipod. So, thanks again I appreciate it greatly.
hmm... well i tried it and for one, the transposition is kinda weird. even when i transpose -3 or +6 they still dont sound different. Another thing. Is it possible for me to get my soundcard to be setup for the mt-32 synth? I think that would work best, because I need to have the *note* on the middle line, but I need it to sound like a snare, and seeing as how there is a whole snare patch on the mt-32 patch list type, I am pretty sure it'd work. Same with the bass drums. I need to have at least 4 low, pitched, bass sounding stuff on the e, c, a, and f lines. Like I say, I'm writing this stuff for my drumline so i need it to sound right, AND be playable by the percussionists.
I have the unregistered NWC 1.75. I am writing music for my high school drumline. I want to have accurate mp3s to play for them to hear how it goes. The only problem is, I have the Snare sounding like a woodblock, the Tenors (quads) set to 'melodic tom' and the Bass drums on 'Taiko.' I looked at the drop down menu for patch lists, and I seen that in the patch list type 'MT-32' there is a 'deep snare' patch. I selected that patch for the snare staff. I played it back and it sounded like the steel drum patch. Yes, I have all staffs on different channels. Anyways, I clicked the 'general midi' patch list type and steel drums was selected. I am clueless as to what is wrong, or what I can do. I just want a snare patch that on the B4 line will sound like a snare. Even if all the lines are just different pitched snare sounds, I can work with that. What can I do? PLEASE Reply to this post or email if you can find anyway to help me.lead_guitarist14@hotmail.com
