sound assignation for MIDI files
12 Aug 2008, 09:42Hello,
I have another confusing question. From "I overlooked the obvious" to "my Juno-G is crckbrained" every solution is possible.
I found some MIDI files on the internet that I am interested in, and I transferred them to the Juno-G via USB, where they are correctly listed when I want to load them.
Having loaded one of them, it appears that in song mode only track 1 has an istrument and track 10 the drums, while all the other tracks contain MIDI sequencer data, but do not have an instrument assigned.
Still the sequencer plays all tracks, but uses that instrument of track 1 to play the song. The result is a song, consisting completely of multiple piano sounds and drums.
Okay, I started reassigning instruments manually, because since GM standard sounds usually are not the preferable choice I would have to reassign some of the sounds anyway.
I then switch to one track, choose the instrument and press the ENTER button, but when the system goes back to the song screen, no instrument is assigned and the Juno-G pretends that no reassignment has ever been done by me. Whatever track I try, whatever song I load, it's always the same.
In addition, the Juno-G from here on never again loads any song correctly. I have to reload the factory settings in order to get things right again. That is what leads me to the assumption that either the firmware does not let the Juno-G correctly interpret simple MIDI data that has not been created on it - or that I just did not press the right buttons...
I have no clue what goes wrong, and hope for your suggestions. Thanks again in advance!
