the current number of measures displayed in the Pattern editor. The user saves each
imported section as a PS02 Rhythm Pattern, then chains the patterns together into a song
using the Soundside PS02 Song Editor or the PS02 itself.
• Set the Pattern editor to display the number of measures which you wish to import
from the midi file. Set quantize to 24 (or 48 if greater resolution is needed - see
section 10).
• Open the File menu and select “Import midi”. Browse for the midi file required and
open it.
• A "Midi import Parameters" box opens. "Total offset" is the number of (quarter note
or crotchet) beats after the start of the file. This allows the user to specify where s/he
wants midi import to start. e.g: In 4/4/ time, if Total offset is set to 0, then current midi
import will start from the beginning of the file, if set to 4, then midi import starts from
bar 2 and so on.
Ticking the "auto increase" box allows the user to specify how the "Total offset"
advances after each import. This will allow the Pattern Editor to automatically
advance to the next section of the file for import - if not ticked then the user needs to
do this manually in the "Total offset" box. e.g: In 4/4 time, if auto increase is set to 4,
then the Pattern Editor will advance 1 bar at a time from import to import, if set to 8,
then the advance will be 2 bars and so on.
The Transpose box allows the user to specify a transpose value ( in semitones) for any
incoming non-percussion (ie: Bass) events.
The Midi Channel box: is used to specify which channel of the Midifile is to be
imported as the bass line. If the default setting of "< >10" is retained , then the
Pattern Editor imports and displays all non-percussion notes as a bass line . To limit
bass import to just one channel, the user should select the desired channel in the box.
Checking "Remember midi file " allows the last selected midifile to be remembered
automatically when the user selects the "Import Midi" command.
• When all parameters have been set, click on "OK". A number of measures of the midi
file equal to the current number of measures in the pattern editor will be imported.
If the midifile is larger than the current number of measures you will get the message
"Pattern too large", but this is just a routine message, not an error.
NB: All notes in the imported midi file will be quantized automatically to the nearest
division
• Save the imported midi section as a Rhythm pattern.
