General Discussion / Re: Sound Font Confusion
 
Have you tried switching to MIDI channel 10? (Staff Properties | MIDI) I'm also using GUGS with SB Live! and I'm implementing Castanets all the time.

General Discussion / Re: Soundfonts and Soundcards
 
I'd like to help really but I don't know the answer. All I know is a certain model of an Intel mobo with on-board sound supports soundfonts indirectly, ie converting to its native format on-the-fly.

If you do have Outlook Express and don't know how to access the newsgroup, I can walk you through. Just e-mail me (addy on the bio page - click my name). I can do the same with Mozilla, too. ;)

General Discussion / Re: WAV File Import?
 
I'm afraid I couldn't understand your query exactly. If you're asking WAV to MIDI conversion, it has been discussed for long at this forum. Use the search facility.

If you wish to mix a WAV and MIDI files, that could be done in two ways:

  • Using an audio capable sequencer such as Cub@se or C@cew@lk;
  • Recording your MIDI to WAV [search the forum about how to do that or see https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=2550 for a quick and dirty method] and mixing the WAV files using an appropriate tool such as W@velab or Cool€dit.

General Discussion / Re: Noteworthy
 
There supposed to be such kind of a routine in Win95 orig. which should display the list of the programmers in a folder window but I could never get it to work.

General Discussion / Re: Mozilla 1.2.1 Noteworthy plugin under XP
 
I'm using XPPro, Mozilla 1.2a and the plugin without any problem.

During the installation, Mozilla should be defined as "other browser". I have IE6.something, Opera 6 and Mozilla 1.2a; where Opera acts as both itself and Netscape, and the plugin recognizes all.

General Discussion / Re: Win XP vs. Win 95______instrument quality change
 
NWC has nothing to do with the sound quality of instruments, which is dependent on your midi wavetable, or soundfonts. Your OS change caused a change in your MIDI device. Even if you kept your old sound card, WinXP comes with Microsoft GS Synthesizer, based on Roland GS, and uses it as the default MIDI device.

You can go to Tools | Options | MIDI in NWC to see (and change) which of the MIDI devices available in your system are used and which one is the first.

Hope that clarifies and helps.

General Discussion / Re: the instrument choices
 
They are templates. With either the evaluation or the full version, you can build your own templates by simply saving your NWC file (with desired settings) to the \TEMPLATE folder. Or you can get a few from the Scriptorium.

General Discussion / Re: OT: Apologies... I'm Infected By a Virus :(
 
The reason for posting such an OT message here and a few other places that I'm recognized, is to let my usual contacts know about the situation without having to send hundreds of private e-mail messages.

It's not intended for any other purposes and I don't care the insults from anonymous posters.

General Discussion / Re: OT: Apologies... I'm Infected By a Virus :(
 
I have difficulty understanding what the poster of reply 1 means. If it's a joke, it's certainly beyond the scope of my sense of humour, which is told to be good.

If the deletion request addresses his reply, I wholeheartedly support it.

General Discussion / Re: Converting .pdf files to .nwc files
 
Longer answer:

There is a possible hard way which is not guaranteed to work at all.

You'll need to grab the notation in the PDF file as graphics, save as .tiff or .bmp, convert to midi using a music OCR, import the midi into NWC and edit.

At each step, you'll lose -at best- 30% of the original data, so you'll probably prefer notating the scores manually.

General Discussion / OT: Apologies... I'm Infected By a Virus :(
Sorry for all the probable inconvenience. I'm apparently infected by Win32.Yahaa.d@mm (or something identical) virus.

Interestingly, the infection was partial. My system took no damage and no registry records were changed. However, it managed to sneak into OE and duplicate itself to each entry in my address book (that's hundreds!) One of my identities got lots of virus e-mails from another one and vice versa...

Reading the virus definition on the BitDefender website, I got panicked and killed an innocent registry record, which cost me disabling all .exe files' execution. That's why, I had to re-install Windows and most of my programs. (I've been doing that for the last 11 or so hours!). Now, I'm clean and protected --hopefully.

Moral of the story:

I always check POP e-mail with a freebie called POP Corn, which lets you delete SPAM and suspicious messages at the server. It can only read plain text, so you cannot get infected using it. At the time of infection, I was chatting with a friend, who e-mailed me a clean file. I felt sleepy and lazy, so, instead of checking with POPCorn first, directly downloaded the messages into OE. My antivirus wasn't activated, either. OE6 seemed not to get tricked and warned me about the attachment and I didn't let it run. However, it found its way into the system.

I learned my lesson now, and I'm much more precautious than before. Now, to sit down and post hundreds of "apology spam".

Shame!!! It's the first time I got infected. I had even survived the Win95.CIH aka Chernobyl frenzy...

General Discussion / Re: Beaming
 
I'm having difficulty understanding what you mean by double beam. Are you trying to beam an eighth and two sixteenths? If so, select the notes and press Ctrl+B.

General Discussion / Re: Midi question
 
I'm not sure (speaking from memory) but decreasing "Maximum single track chord size" in Tools | Options | Import should help.

General Discussion / Re: Thanks for removing that thread
 
Now, that's a really useful tip. Thanks!

FWIW, suggesting the register/login system was in my mind, too. It's not that hard for one to register multiple accounts.

See this and this on a gaming forum. The first one was a Mr.Hydeish character, now abandoned, while the second one clones [abbr=the cooperative, the contributive, the helpful, the almighty, the...]me[/abbr] as all are used to seeing :) </self_plug>

General Discussion / Re: MIDI to WAVE - instructions for wavetable synths
 
The method offered in the user tip is not advocated to be the best anyway. Just a simple one.

I tried Audio Compositor for instance. It can use a single set of soundfonts only and produces irresistible noise. I guess it magnifies the noise levels found in the sf's samples.

On SB Live, I have found the full-duplex recording method acceptable so far.

I'll be glad if you submit your opinions to the mentioned user tip for the benefit of future readers.

General Discussion / Re: Mp3 to sheet music
 
Search this very forum with keywords "wav to midi" and "mp3 to midi". There have been long and to some extent fruitful conversations over the years.

General Discussion / Re: Instrument patch
 
A clarification:

MIDI recognizes numbers, not names. So, a custom arranged set of instruments don't have to include --say-- Grand Piano on Patch #0.

There are several non-gm/gs soundfont sets available for exploiting this; "Vintage Dreams" for instance. It would be just confusing seeing "Acoustic Guitar" while playing a sophisticated pad.
