I have a MIDI track that has been recorded without a click track, with some random tempo throughout that doesn't really have anything to do with the actual timing of the notes. I want to effectively create the tempo changes to align the beats to the notes, without altering the way that the piece sounds.
I tried recording a beat segment and using the "Set Tempos from Beat Segment" option. While this correctly set up the tempo changes, the MIDI segment remained constant in musical time (which is not what I want, since the musical time is all wrong) instead of real time (which is what I want). In other words, I have tempo changes that align to the way that the piece is supposed to sound, but the piece now sounds all wrong (incidentally, the beat segment has the same problem - although the composition's beats align to the way I recorded them in the beat segment in real time, the beat segment no longer sounds that way, as it stayed misaligned). Looks like this would have worked perfectly had the piece been a wave audio segment, but not for MIDI. Reimporting the MIDI file into the composition doesn't help, since it follows the same behavior of keeping musical time constant. I understand that Rosegarden generally keeps track of time internally in musical terms, not real time terms. What I want is a way to either import a MIDI file and correlating it to the composition using real time (MIDI musical time to real time using the MIDI's time base and tempo changes, and back to Rosegarden musical time but using the composition's existing tempo changes), or something similar done to an existing MIDI segment at the same time as I set the tempos from the beat segment. -- Hector Martin ([email protected]) Public Key: http://www.marcansoft.com/marcan.asc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
