Importing MIDI\'s into FL\'s


I was attemping to create some backin tracks from some midi's i had.. But when i import the midi's into Fruity Loops (FL) i hit play but i hear NOTHING. but i can still hear sounds that i make on my own just fine. Is there a standard configuration that i need to adjust to be able to hear the midi in that app?

Thanks

You have to configure your soundcard....If you are using a WINDOWS operating system...this can be configured through the Control Panel "Multimedia" ICON...then choose your preferred PLAYBACK Device...EX. MIDI Mapper....

Make sure this is selected in Fruity Loops or whatever software you use....

Also....You could record MIDI to WAV File....Converting the MIDI to WAV.....I don't use Fruity Loops..so I hope this helps......To record MIDI to WAV...whatever your using to record...just open a MIDI track.....then open an Audio track.......Make sure the WINDOWS MIXER, Sound Properties is set to MIX RECORD.......SET your Audio track to record Mode....then adjust levels....then hit RECORD.......

Hi Evhmoon....maybe also if you convert midi to wav..then you can play in fruity loops.....fruity loops may not recognize a .MID file extension...could be MIDI MAPPER like you said, also.....

Also try this....you want the MIDI OUT to be your computer's sound card....

Re: Importing MIDI\'s into FL\'s


k. i havent had the chance the last two days to mess with this, but now i do.. I can prolly make sume kickass BT''s if i can get it all figured out ok.. But first off, thats kewl that i could prolly just change the midi to a wav.......but.there are parts of midi's that i would like to omit, like voice phrasings and stuff...... i will check out the midi out right now.. but i again, i dont have another option for midi on that.... wish me luck..
