I need to know how to make a midi file definitely stop playing. My group sings along with midi files played on a Yamaha Tyros 2. The Yamaha onboard sequencer has a playback feature that allows you to select the next song while the present one is playing. We like to use the “Next” feature in order to go to the next song with a minimum of delay. Most of our SMFs stop at the end of the song as expected. But, I have a few that go on and on.
I have to manually stop them and then go on to play the next song. I use PowerTracks Pro Audio Ver.2013 to prepare and edit my SMFs. When I have a problem as described above I can use the “delete measures” in PTPA to remove any extra measures. This usually works and the file stops
playing. But sometimes nothing I can think of will stop the file from going on (I can see the LED flashing until I press “Stop”). Is there a command I can embed in the SMF to tell the keyboard's sequencer that the end has been reached?
Thanks,
Deaton
