Changing Midi Channels In Gb Options

[soehnk]

Hello,
how does one assign or activate different midi channels in Garageband within one track? I want to activate different midi channels available in Miroslav Philharmonik. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks.

soehnk... By time this communique reaches you, jimdubpramgaragebandman will have your problem sorted.

MacDaddy, your faith in me is deeply touching but I don't know the answer to this one.
I don't think it's possible to open more than one midi channel per track in GB. Seems to me you have to open a new track for a new channel?

Yo, jimdubpramgargebandman....

I know whatever you are doing you are having a great time...

Unfortunately, GB doesn't actually handle multiple MIDI channels separately. Each MIDI track in GB is, in effect, 'listening' to all MIDI channels simultaneously. To get assignable MIDI channels for individual tracks, I believe you'll need to look at Logic Express 8 or Logic Studio.

I found this Apple discussions thread on assigning MIDI channels in Logic Express.

GB is a great 'sketch pad' for your works, but it sounds like you are already working above GB's bar, so to speak.

I have read some reviews on Apple's boards about SoundFont Synth GB, but I can't find definitive information on it accomplishing what you're looking for.

Wish there was better news.

peace.

Thanks for all the discussion and advice! I'll look into Logic and see if it will suit my needs. I'll also check out the apple discussion link.

Rock on,

Keith

I tried turning off all the ring mains and lighting circuits in my home, apart from the one for the equipment, and have even tried my gear in my neighbour's house, but it is still there. I then took the equipment to my father's house to see if he could work out what was causing the interference, mcdst certification only to find that it had gone. I've thus decided that it isn't a problem with my equipment, as it works perfectly well at my father's house, and that it isn't anything in my house (fridge or freezer, for example), mcitp certification as the interference is also present in my neighbour's house. It's at about 8-10 kHz, is there for 24 hours a day, its level drops and increases with the position of microphone and cable, and it affects every room of the house. mcse 2003 On asking around to find out whether any new electrical equipment has been fitted in my neighbourhood, I discovered that a new aerial has recently been erected at the local police station, just a few hundred yards away. I was also told that TV reception in the local area has been affected. On investigating, mcts I found that my TV is clear when connected through the digital cable, but when it's connected with the old set-top aerial there's interference on all channels. I further found that there is interference on the radio.
