Hi all

Just a heads up, I know some of you use the Coolsoft virtual midi synth sound font player, and your favourite sound font.
The latest update vers 2.11.0 has a really great new function.
It converts Midi to audio using your chosen sound font but as well as outputting as a Single wav 16, 24, 32 bit Mp3 128, 192, 320 k and Flac.
It now allows you to output as multiple track audio one track for each midi channel.
Very useful for IMPORTING to Audacity or your DAW.


Great stuff,
Mike

Thanks for pointing that out! I upgraded to v2.11 a couple of days ago, but didn't notice that new feature.

FWIW, I had been using the Arachno soundfont for years, but have recently switched to the JJazzLab soundfont.

Just upgraded and did the following:

1. Made up a simple midi melody for the old Big Band song "Undecided" in TablEdit.

2. Exported the file as a single Midi file using Tabledit.

3. The file exported OK and it plays fine in my midi player. Evidently the Midi file exported from TablEdit has 2 separate Midi Channels each containing part of the melody because when I loaded it into Coolsoft and used the Midi File Converter option, the result was 2 separate WAV or MP3 files each with only part of the Midi sounds.

When I put both the resultant audio files into Adobe Audition in a multi-track session. I had to bounce both tracks down to a new one to get the melody to play in 1 single track.

Now this is not a big deal since I can bounce them down to 1 track in my DAW, which I did. That only take a second or two.

My question is I am wondering if there is any way using the Coolsoft Midi File Converter option to have all the channels exported as a single WAV or MP3 file instead of each channel being on a separate file.

I have attached a 7zip file with all the needed files for you to play with.

Please rename Undecided.7z.txt to Undecided.7z so you can extract them.

Hi
Yes when you use the midi converter make sure that the little box that looks like a ladder at the rh end of the output file format box is NOT highlighted Blue as this is the multi track out box.

Have fun
Mike

Duh! What a simple fix. Not sure how I missed that one.

Must be lazy today.

Thanks.

Marked as Resolved for my problem.

BTW, I really like this feature as I do convert MIDI files to audio to put in my DAW. This makes it easier.

Just make sure you have the correct sound font loaded that you want as the resulting MP3 or Wav file will sound like THAT sound font.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
