I think that you probably mean "whinnying" of a horse. With brass instruments, it's typically done with a valved instrument, such as a trumpet or a tuba (or valve trombone if you have one.) The sound is typically produced by pressing the valves halfway down and either shaking the instrument (in the case of a trumpet) or by making a very wide vibrato. ...

Professional electronic drum kits are made by many musical instrument manufacturers including Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, ddrum, Simmons, and even the Zildjian cymbal company. The link in the previous sentence goes to a list of kits sold at Guitar Center. These are all "silent" in that they make no sound acoustically (however you can hear the sound of your drum ...

Yes, there are electronic drums. There will be a tapping sound when playing. This will likely not disturb your neighbors, but your room mate might find it disturbing. I believe that playing with brushes is problematic, but I'm not updated on the technical advancements of electronic drums.

General Midi specifies a mapping. Roland's GS standard adds to it as does Yamaha's XG standard. Your exact keyboard (and possibly drum preset itself) may vary. see http://pianocheetah.com/midi/drum.html and wikipedia:

This is a deep subject. I can tell from your initial question (before we edited it) that you are unfamiliar with the concepts involved with using a MIDI controller keyboard with a computer, with virtual software instruments, and with interfacing the audio output of a computer with a PA system or amplifier. You need to learn about all these concepts. You ...

Musescore is free as opposed to many other programs such as Sibelius or Finale. However, it is still very good and can do almost everything that paid programs can do. One of the input files accepted in Musescore is MIDI and it can output PDF among other formats. However, as guidot said, it takes a human to do it right because a MIDI file does not contain ...

With my MIDI sequencer, you figure that out on your own. You drag rectangles around the hand's notes that are the easiest to pick out, and that'll move them to that other hand's track. So, manually, you: Figure out if the piece is even playable by a human - sometimes it's for a computer to play (a bunch of hugely complex, blisteringly fast arpeggios a ...

You should have everything you need already with Cubase. Since you have recorded audio with this setup before you have essentially the same workflow for midi. You will need to add a new midi track and select the input device. Keep in mind that the V-drums use channel 10 by default, the same as most midi percussion sets. Then record the midi track as you ...

Pretty much all electronic instruments today follows the "General MIDI" standard which includes a definition for which notes should control which type of drum sound. You can read about it on Wikipedia or on the official MIDI site's General MIDI Level 1 Percussion Key Map. This site lists the corresponding keys in a more human readable way. Let me repeat the ...

This is not quite a "conversion", since the midi file is on a much lower level than a score. So while you will surely get some output, it is more than questionable, whether somebody can play from it without considerable editing. As an example midi contains nothing about a key and so has to make wild guesses concerning accidentals, same for time signature, ...

You may find that, unfortunately, the best technology can do at this point is going to be somewhat below your expectations. Transcription is something even humans struggle with, and the more complicated a piece of music (audio) is, the trickier it is to transcribe--either for human OR computer, but the limit of a computer program is going to be far below ...

In general, you can program your electronic drum kit and individual drum pads to assign any MIDI note that you want to any drum pad, and also to map or associate any drum sound that you want to any drum pad and to any MIDI note. It is up to you to make these assignments yourself. If you want to know what MIDI notes and which sounds are assigned to which ...

The obvious solution is indeed to use a hammond plugin on a laptop, but you will need a good audio interface to use this live because otherwise you will either not get the latency low enough or risk audio dropouts. The more trouble-free solution is a hardware expander module specialized for hammond organ.

The UltraNovation can be set up to trigger on the MIDI input as well as, or instead of the keyboard so you can assign any patches you like to the G10 as a trigger. The G10 is designed this way, so any MIDI synth can provide the sound - the advantage is that you can do all the usual things you would do on a guitar - whammy, string bends etc

The USB 2.0 standard does not allow for "low speed" or "full speed" devices to be polled more than 1,000 times/second; "high speed" devices may be polled up to 8,000 times/second, but require fancier electronics. A MIDI interface takes 320 microseconds (0.32 milliseconds) to send each byte of data; if multiple notes are pressed simultaneously, two bytes ...

I use a tool called Cantabile Lite ( http://www.cantabilesoftware.com/lite/ ). This tool starts fast and allows you to prepare a project with a certain set of vst's and inputs. I have several desktop links that launches a 'jam' profiles. I have a 'jam lead guitar', 'jam piano', 'jam clean guitar' and 'jam all' profile. All profiles have a drum vst included ...

sound? highly doubtful. You could try sampling it, but that is pretty painful. You might find it at http://samples.kb6.de/downloads.php midi - check your manual, otherwise see if it sends midi out that you can record with a pc midi sequencer to save to a midi file. good luck to ya.

well the one i wrote meets the categories of "free" and "piano roll". It's not very sophisticated or intuitive, though. If you with to use it, you can email me with questions. It's the "Tinkerer" application of http://PianoCheetah.com install I suspect the mods won't like your question, though.

hmmm, I'm not familiar with Mingus I'm afraid... Ask the developer if you're having probs with it, but I suspect you're not (kinda hard to tell:) Your link isn't to "sheet music" - it's to a lead sheet - just listing chords and melody, not an actual arrangement of exact notes to play. So hit google and look for other renditions of that song. There may be ...

If you have a recording of the music Sibelius has something called AudioScore which deals with transcribing from recording to e-notation (e.g. midi), though this solution costs. Googling around I found http://www.rinki.net/pekka/slowmp3/ which seems to be a free alternative - I've not yet tried it out though. If you only have sheet music Again Sibelius ...

There are a few cool drum samplers out there like: EZ Drummer Addictive Drums Rayzoon Jamstix I have EZ Drummer and it's quite cool. You can also get lots of midi drum loops from Groovemonkee. I've also used Rayzoon which has quite a cool algorithm for simulating 'real' drummers. They are becoming more and more popular these days and are sounding ...

can't your Ultranova or V50 do drums? Any less than 5 year old pc with modern softsynth (that uses windows WASAPI api) should not have any latency probs. WASAPI (on Vista or better) let's your soundcard tell your softsynth the best it can do so you shouldn't even NEED to config latency. and you can find free drum .WAV files all over the place on the web.

Godin make about eight different models of electric-acoustic nylon-string guitars for different purposes. Some have a wide, flat fingerboard and scale length and string spacing just like a standard classical guitar. Some have a narrower fingerboard with a radius to it and narrower string spacing. They have detailed specifications on their Web site, with all ...

older usb midi throughput would lag a little in SOME drivers due to usb sending "blocks" of data. Now adays, those problems are gone. In addition, some usb midi can cause audio interference (my Yamaha CP-33 suffers from this) so I have to use the midi port and a midi-usb interface to get around that. Very few usb midi setups suffer from this, though. ...

I guess when using equipment that only have MIDI-output, it comes very handy. MIDI is a well-established technology, with a low chance of failure (while with usb, I encountered otherwise...) Most modern devices with some sort of relevant output will have usb, but I think it's worth looking for the soundcard which does support MIDI i/o. (after all, it also ...

Check out MegaDrum. It claims to support up to 56 inputs. Not sure about pricing, but if you're handy with electronics, you can either build it yourself from scratch or buy one of the various kits they offer. For the sake of completeness, there's also the Roland TMC-6 and PAiA MIDI Drum Brain (also a DIY kit), with 6 and 8 inputs, respectively.

I was pretty happy with the organ sounds from the Boss 'Dr. Rhythm-Section'. It only had 4 or 5 organ choices, but they all sound good (and only one was "churchy"). It can be used as a MIDI module (as the sound-generator connected by MIDI to a keyboard controller). I've also seen drawbar controllers available but I don't know how (well) they work. More ...
