Smash Up The Studio MIDI Files

MIDI files contain the performance data of the musician or programmer

who created the file. They do not contain audio.

To use these files properly you must first import them onto a
midi/instrument track in your sequencer/workstation and select your
own synthesizer or instrument plug-in to play back the file with a sound
of your choice.

All of our MIDI files are in SMF format (standard midi file) and are
compatible with all DAW's that allow the import of MIDI Files.

Pitch Bend and Modulation Info:

Many of our MIDI loops contain pitch bend information within the
performance, especially on lead solos and synth bass lines. It is
advisable to set your synth/plug-in to +2 semitones to achieve the
optimum results and to hear the loop exactly as it was originally played.

The same applies to modulation. Synthesizer patches can be set at

varying degrees of modulation and it is up to you to set this to your own
preference on your synth or plug-in.

Octave Settings:
Synth patches are also set at various different octaves so you will
sometimes need to adjust the sound you are using to the desired octave.

Velocity:
The velocity of virtual instrument plug-ins and master keyboards
can vary considerably, especially on multi-sampled virtual
instruments such as piano's or strings. This means that a MIDI loop
created using a certain sound and master keyboard may play back
at a different velocity when using a new sound, either causing the
loop to sound too quiet and dull with very few dynamics, or far too
loud and harsh with no feeling or expression. This can be solved
either by adjusting the velocity controls on your MIDI instrument or
alternatively by selecting the notes within the MIDI loop itself and
raising or lowering the velocity relatively until the desired tone and
level is achieved.
