Changing Recorded MIDI keyboard into other instruments

SPow wrote on 12/5/2023, 9:02 AM

Hi,

I recorded a few bars from the MIDI keyboard but then I couldn't change the keyboard notes/melody into another instrument, for example, guitar or bass. I would have thought this would be easy but is it maybe not possible for MIDI recordings?

Thanks

Hi,

You simply click on the instrument (where the + was) in the track header and change the instrument.

Hi John CB,

I do that and so the icon changes, but no difference in sound when I play it back....?

@SPow Be sure to make a left click on the icon and not a right click.

The left click still doesn't change anything. Do I need to highlight the recorded track. I can't understand why it doesn't change. I left click it and choose bass from the Vita Solo Instruments list but no change. Is it anything to do with my drivers Music Maker Asio Out (1 + 2).

@SPow Can you show us some screenshots where you click and what you see? Maybe we are talking about different things?

You can upload images to this forum via the arrow icon above the response text box.

@SPow

In the left image above, the object on track 3 is a Soundloop file - this is an audio file not a MIDI object, therefore cannot be changed.

Hi John, sorry, no that is just what I tried changing the sound to last. So when I play it, I hear my MIDI keyboard recording. I have tried changing it to lots of different sounds and the last one was a soundloop file.
