Chapter 4: MIDI File Chord Interpretation Wizard 25
- has the chording (comping) parts on Channels 3, 6 and 7.
- has the Melody on Channel 4.
- has no other parts like the Melody that should be put on the Soloist track.
Presets for Chord Options
Now, after loading in the MIDI files, you'd normally have a look at these
settings above, to see if they seem reasonable for your MIDI file. If they are
not, you can change the settings. For example, if you know that the key
signature of the song is not F but is C, then you would set that. Similarly, if
you knew that the Melody channel was on channel 3, you could set that to
override the Chord Wizard settings.
Once you have done that, you should choose one of the Presets, to quickly put
the settings to the type of song that we are trying to interpret.
Preset choices are:
Jazz Standard, Jazz (Modern), Pop (with seventh chords), Pop (with no
seventh chords), Rock, Pop Ballad, Solo Piano and Solo Piano (Jazz).
Chord Options
(Important note: Pressing the Preset buttons sets these Chord Options
automatically for you. But you can over-ride them in this dialog.)
When you choose one of these presets, it makes a number of settings in the
Chord Options section of the dialog.
