Original Message 1/5 19-Nov-05 @ 05:02 AM - band in a box midi files
total newbie here,i'm running logic 5.1(2002)on PC.
big learning curve for a beginner but we all have to start some where i spose,
o.k. my querie is once i have draughted some sought of a song in band in a box and am sort
of in the ballpark for a sound,when i save as a midi file and then load onto logic it all works fine
but if i decide to change a instrument on a track it my midi mixer section i get the new sound for just a few seconds and then it reverts back to the original?
does this mean that i can't change the instrument and that i have to assign the instruments in band in the box
or are there a few magic buttons i can press?my sound card is a DSP24 value,and my midi sounds are from an old yamaha PSR270 keyboard,i know it's not what you would call up
to date stuff but you've got to do with what you've got,
any help would be most appreciated,

anyways if you see any program change/setting vaule in your midi event list remove it (highlight and delete)
or, if that doesnt do it..
Next if you highlight a track with midi data on it, and look at the left-hand side of the arrange page at the lower vertical box with the track title & channel etc on it, you'll see a setting under the CHA (midi channel) setting, called: PRG
is it ticked?.. detick it
try those things

put the cursor to zero/start position, open the midi part in piano edit... show the HYPERDRAW area ('view' menu/hyperdraw/Program change) then using the arrow tool drag the little block up/down to the required patch number.... that will send out a message to the keyboard to assign that patch-number to that channel/track
