Having trouble with sounds

12 Oct 2012, 13:25

Hey!

I have G6 for three months now, and I'm pretty much still a newbie with it. I bought it for play midi files, and now I found out, it's more for making new songs right? I have so much trouble with sounds in midi files, that I'm thinking to sold G6, because I can't find a solution. Could anyone please help me.

The problems started about two months ago. Once I play some midi file, it's all okey, but the second and the third time, the guitare changes (or piano, drums... any instrument). When I reset G6, it's once or twice good, and than it starts again. It can play a midi okey for five times, but the sixth time it's "broken".

The question is: is the problem in G6 or in midi files? What do you think? I will be so thankful for some help :(.

Greetings.

Wow this must be a really tough one :D. Well the decision was made. No matter how grate G6 is, I will buy Yamaha/arranger. Probably the best thing to do right?

I would be happy to hear (read) your opinion :).

Naty: what do you mean by "reset the G6" ? Perhaps you have to re-load the file, or to initialize the Studio Set.
Maybe the midi file you are trying to play back contains certain messages such as program change or system exclusive - stuff related to the sound engine anyway. I know that GM2 is more evolved than GM in that matter. Or, even though a GM2 equipment is capable of reading general GM files, perhaps the best reproduction possible is when you keep things straight - GM2 source and GM2 destination, or simple GM(1) source and identical destination.

Selling the G6 just because of that???,
G-Man gave a good suggestion. Check the file first, as it is most probably where the problem is.

Hi Naty,

Try loading the midi file into a DAW (something like Sonar LE) that will enable you to edit it, that way you can change the sounds to what is suitable to you (if you use the preset sounds in the FG they will never change ) and also get rid of any unwanted messages that it file may contain then save the midi file and either play it from the DAW or upload it into the FG.
