OctaMED to MIDI

[Wilse]

Hi folks,

Anyone know off the top of their head if MED can export direct to MIDI files?
(I should know this but I haven't used MED for ages and I have the memory of the proverbial goldfish)


Cheers,
Robert.

Hi Robert
Yes it can but it is quite a primitive implementation if I recall rightly

Thanks.
I moved over to Logic and would like to import my old OctaMED, HD-Rec and Bars & Pipes files and play around with them.

Nice. How do you rate Apple OS? I've never used one but I may be getting one to help support my father who is looking at one. He's not very good with computers. Would you say an Apple is more forgiving of an IT novice than a PC?

In a word, yes. I got an iBook 3 years ago to supplement my various Amigas and PC. Very quickly it became my main machine.
I now have a Macbook and rarely switch on my other computers. (Although I'm typing this on the iBook)

Cheers. I think the small problem I had with exporting OctaMED to MIDI (you have to tell it to save as SMF) was that the tempo and clocks seems to be always set the same no matter how fast your song is. This is no great problem though as you can always speed it up in your importing app.

Yes of course OctaMED can. But in older versions the MIDI-files contained only raw data. SysEx and channel informations had to be transferred to the host via MIDI-dump. I used OctaMed even in semi-professional productions
