If you know how to read music you can even switch from piano roll to score and actually see the musical notes here for this track. So you can change what's actually being played. You can also double-click on this track here and then you can see the notes and actually manipulate them. Or even go really different and say let's just play that on the pipe organ. I can hear that just played on clarinet and then I can change it to see what it would sound like on the oboe. So I can use the solo here, so I can click on that. So I can select this track here and if I open up the tray to the left you can see that's set to woodwinds flute solo.
So you can do lots of cool things.įor instance, you can change the instruments. There's flute, there's a whole bunch of string ensembles and then you can see all of the notes. So you can see here I've got a set of instruments here. It instantly opens up the song and shows you all the notes in it.
I couldn't get any MIDI Files to actually play in Quicktime Player, the current version.īut if you double-click on it you will actually open up GarageBand. It doesn't seem to work very well anymore. Quicktime Player would actually play MIDI Files. Now it used to be that you could just double-click on that and it would open up in old Quicktime Player, years ago. Now we end up in the downloads folder with this MIDI File right here. I'll go to a site here, just get a piece of classical music, and just download anything. So, for instance, we'll, in Safari, do a search for MIDI download. Now GarageBand can read standard MIDI Files and the internet is filled with them. MIDI-like data is used in apps like Logic and GarageBand to store notes when you play on a keyboard and the notes are stored rather than the actual sound itself. Software can use that to recreate a song. MIDI Files are music files that instead of being a recording are a series of instructions like musical notes. Video Transcript: So if you want to do something fun and musical with your Mac you may want to spend some time playing around with MIDI Files.
