I played around with this a bit and was able to import some generic midi I found on a random web site just fine. Main problem I had was re-orchestrating the tracks so the drums were no being played with a piano etc. That's been the bane of MIDI for a long time.

Hi Chris.

I have tried with garageband, but it sounds as if the bars is being split up. I 
have tried listening to the midifile with qmidi and sweetmidi, and the files 
work, but I will give them another try with garageband.

If anything goes wrong, could I use sonar in VMWare in windows 7.

Best regards Annie.

You can load a midi file into garage band by copying it in the finder and then 
pasting it into a project in garage band. Like a lot of midi apps the 
instrument assignments usually don't come through correctly so you'll probably 
have to reassign instruments to the tracks to make sure everything isn't being 
played by a piano.

GarageBand would allow for deleting a track, transposing keys, changing tempos

editting is possible, but not accessible with VoiceOver).

I have never tried to load an existing midi (.mid) file into GB, but have 
always created my software tracks (midi) in GB. I don't even know if that can 
be done. it might require pasting the midi data from the clipboard, but I'm not 
sure on that.

Hi.

Is there any accessible music program that allows playing and editing a little 
in midifiles. I would like to transpose change tempo, and delete an instrument 
or change an instrument to another instrument.

Best regards Annie.
