I need a device to playback and store midi files. When I'm done i'd like to save the file as a midi file on an SD card, bring the SD card over to this device, load up the file and play it back. This way I can fire up backup tracks without having to load up protools etc.

10.3: MIDI Playback

MIDI, the eponymous digital musical language, is a bit of a chameleon. It’s a way of describing musical activity, but in practice that can take several different forms: it can be used to send keystrokes from a keyboard to software that responds almost immediately by producing sound, or it can be used to communicate tempo changes and setup information—like telling that software to use a different sound bank.

It can also be used to save and recreate songs at a later date, much like an audio track such as an MP3 file. Instead of including actual sound information, however, MIDI songs are a record of musical events—this note was pressed with this velocity, this pedal was released, and so on. When software is asked to “play” that information back, it reproduces those actions faithfully but can use any of the sound banks at its disposal to produce results that may sound like they were played on an entirely different instrument. Certain kinds of software can even try to represent that information visually, as sheet music.

With forScore 10.3.4, we added the ability to import, link, and play back MIDI files just like you’ve already been able to do with other audio tracks. You can play them back, add automatic track turns, loop sections, and adjust their playback speed. The first time you try to play a MIDI file you’ll be prompted to download a small sound bank from our servers, then you’ll be ready to go.

Whether you’re using a MIDI device to control forScore’s features and page turns, using score-specific commands, sending messages with buttons, reusing common commands with presets, or using forScore to produce piano sounds as you play, there’s something for everyone in this diverse language. And now, we can add one more: MIDI file playback.

Changing playback sounds

Finale supports two main ways of playing back your music: MIDI playback or Audio Units playback. This allows you to choose the best playback sounds based on the hardware or software that you have available. Using Finale's Score Manager, you can easily select any instrument sound available on your computer.

By the end of this lesson you will know:

  1. The difference between MIDI and Audio Units playback and the best uses for each
  2. How to select a new sound for playback
  3. How to convert files to use a new device for playback

To begin at this point, open tutorial documentFinale includes a number of tutorial files that complement the Finale Tutorials. To access a tutorial document, choose File > Open and double-click the 'Tutorials' shortcut. If you have navigated away from the default 'Finale Files' folder, a different folder may appear when you choose File > Open.

MIDI

MIDI stands for Musical Instrumental Digital Interface, which is an industry-standard computer language that computers and MIDI devices use to speak to each other. Finale can play back using an external MIDI device, a sound card's synthesizer, or a SoundFont installed on your computer.

  1. From the MIDI/Audio menu, select Play Finale Through MIDI.
  2. Press the Play button .

Finale uses the MIDI device that is specified in your MIDI setup window. To configure your MIDI system, see Setting up your MIDI system.

Audio Units

You probably installed the Garritan Instruments for Finale as well as the Finale program. Finale is designed to take advantage of the best audio plug-in technologies, allowing Finale to load Audio Units instruments (like the Garritan instruments) and effects (like Ambience Reverb) directly and use these instruments and effects to play back any file you create.

“Audio Units” are Apple’s system-level audio plug-in architecture. Audio Units, often abbreviated 'AU,' are software modules — for instance, virtual instruments or effects — that can be used by any audio application that supports AU plug-ins.

Noteman says: Finale also supports a whole range of additional Audio Units samplers, synths, effects, and instruments — see the Finale website for details. Any of these instruments can be combined with the instruments from Garritan Instruments for Finale.

  1. From the MIDI/Audio menu, select Play Finale Through Audio Units.
  2. Press the Play button .

Right now, this file is using Finale's SoftSynth sounds. You can use the Score Manager to reassign instrument sounds. See Configuring Instrument playback for details.
