Notes in MIDI are called events, just like instruments are called programs.Some MIDI editors number channels 0 - 15 and some 1 - 16, but it is always the 10th channel reserved for percussion. Important thing to keep in mind if you want to use percussion - 10th channel needs to be left with default sound (Acoustic Grand Piano) as that is the channel used for percussion (+ your notes have to be assigned to this channel of course).MIDI file can have more than 16 tracks, which means that multiple tracks can go into 1 channel.Your MIDI file's channels need to have a correctly set up instrument (with values 0-127 or 1-128 depending on your software), otherwise nothing will play.Each MIDI file can contain up to 16 channels and each channel can have 1 instrument assigned, that means you are limited to 16 instruments in one composition.We use a freely available General MIDI bank with 128 instruments "General User GS SoftSynth 1.44".

MIDI file contains information about channels (or programs - they contain the information about which instrument sound should be used), notes (their pitch, length and channel assignment) and other parameters (like note volume, composition's tempo and time signature).MIDI editor, recommended free alternatives:.Requirements & specifications 3rd party software Custom tracks can be utilized in music playlists by Music preset or triggered trough Visual scripting.
