Sometimes you have to take a file into a MIDI editor and rearrange the channels so the X500 can more easily recognize the patterns for extraction. It works best for me when I set channel 9 = Bass, 10 = Drums, 11 = Percussion and 12 through 16 = Accompaniment . See page A1 "Part and MIDI Channel Assignments and Diagram" in the MZ-X500 Tutorial PDF. Nice MIDIs by the way! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 thank you, in facts i followed your old post (i remembered it like this: Percussion = 09, Drums = 10, Bass = 01, Chord 1 = 02, Chord 2 = 03, Chord 3 = 04, Chord 4 = 05, Chord 5 = 06. now ill try with this channel 9 = Bass, 10 = Drums, 11 = Percussion and 12 through 16 =) But which midi editor? i tried with midiplayer 5 i downldd fromm web but not very able to reach some result... in its window i see which channels work, but it does NOT correspond to what z500 catches (i think) Any way, thyou you !

I use Cakewalk Sonar Artist. You can download the instrument definition file I created for Cakewalk on this site. Makes editing SO much easier when the editor "understands" your keyboard configuration. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
