LOGIC 5.1. PC. WIN 2K. Hi all, What is the stop command to put into a midi file only, so that the midi (.mid) song will stop in any midi player? Also is there any systex or cc command I need to put in a midi (.mid) song for tempo changes to be reconised by any midi player? Thanks in advance, Allan.

Obvious question: how did you envision "putting commands in a midifile" ??? Do you have some low-level midifile-editing tool? Can't imagine... The most straightforward (and for 99.9% of the people the ONLY) way to create a midifile, is by using e.g. the 'Export as Midifile' function. In that case however, you don't need to bother with this stuff: tempo changes you created in Logic will automaticaly be part of the midifile, and as soon as the midifile ends, your midifile-player should stop. If you really need the low-level answer: on my website (see signature) you'll find the complete midi specs and midi filespecs. Tough reading if you're not at least 10% nerd or whizzkid. Fun reading if your nerd-status exceeds 50% :-). If I misunderstood your question, please give it another shot :). -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html

Hi Hendrik, What actually happened was that I did a midi file with varying tempos and saved using "Export to midi file" as usual, but I found when playing thu, say winamp or any other player the tempo stayed the same, I never had this problem before, but I found the answer in the manual (should have read it a bit more!) "Allow Tempo Change Recording checkbox" Also now using the Tempo fader, works like a charm! shame you cannot see the recorded tempo changes in the arrange page. I do quite a bit of midi recording, but just could not understand for a while what was happening. More sleep needed! Many thanks, Allan

Yeah... we should restart the "I want an Arrange page tempo-track" thread again. One of my favourite gripes with Logic :). Anyhow, glad you got the problem sorted out... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html
