Import MIDI files into GarageBand
Authored by: john7jr on Feb 03, '04 11:42:57AM

Works great. It breaks down each MIDI instrument into a GarageBand specific AIFF file (you can't just play them, they are only good for importing into GarageBand) Then you can import them into GarageBand!

Import MIDI files into GarageBand
Authored by: scottp on Feb 03, '04 12:16:53PM

I haven't used this yet, but it sounds good, especially if it allows you to use sound fonts.

Even better in my particular case was to use MidiPipe and Mighty MIDI to pipe the MIDI directly into GB while recording. This way the notes are easily editable in GB. Very handy if you want to change tempo, instruments, note velocities, etc.

This is a piece of cake to set up, and works like a charm, at least for one instrument/track at a time. The instructions are at http://gbxchange.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=769#769

I think you'll find this even easier to use than the MIDIpipe/Mighty MIDI solution. It gives you editable notes just like that method but it takes a fraction of the time and does not require any "by hand" alignment of the tracks after you import them...try it, I think you'll like it!

I don't think those are AIFF files

I haven't tried this app yet, but based on what I've read about it, I doesn't produce AIFF files, it simply breaks out the multiple parts of a MIDI file so that individual instruments have thier own MIDI files.
