Hmm,,,i checked out Ugritone midi drums.

You ought to know that names like metal drums or punk drums isn't necessary descriptive of what you're gonna hear.

Midi is only information for a instrument that converts that info to sound. If the instrument sounds like a steel drum a midi file is not going to change that.

They work in Cakewalk and all other daws.

You need an vst instrument plugin with drums as already said. MT powerdrumkit is ok and free. You'll have to tweak the settings of the drums if you need a specific sound.

The house owner is putting in new windows right now.

Maybe after that. I'll think about it.

@Robert McClellan Thanks.

I like din-midi.

Let me paint my picture.

I have 4 pc's. 2 win xp 32-bit and 2 win 7 64-bit. They are old but works ok.

Each have a usb midi-interface with 2in and 2 out. Cost approx 4x30 euro=120 euro.

I have 2 midi keyboards with din-midi and a midi-box, approx 40 euro, that can split two midi in to four midi out.

With this setup i can use any of the keyboards with any of the pc's without switching cables around. Pretty low cost too.👍

This is not too bad either.

ZynAddSubFX VST is a free synth with good sounds.

It's a refreshed version of an old synth.

I checked out your recommended midi keyboard. I'm pondering about a new one. My old Korg 707 miss notes sometimes. Probably corrosion on the metallic parts of the keys.

It would be great to be able to see what midi it have direct on the first view, without to move on to Amazon, Thomann or Gear4Music for the details.

Todays kb's seem to be 90% usb midi, 8% usb plus din-midi and 2% din-midi.

Why is that a need to know? Well, usb midi locks you to one particular pc. Din-midi gives you more connection possibilities where one kb can serve several pc's.

(Usb is hard to split to several pc's).

 My guess is that your site doesn't allow direct links.

The link given is to the zipfile. Try changing to the page with the zipfile instead.

My The Guess Who favorite is Clap For The Wolfman.

I listened to the examples and got the impression that it's about voices singing words.

Then you are limited to those words and the song will get influenced by them.

If i would try to make a song that bring about a certain feeling i couldn't unless it fits with the words in the voiceloop.

Of course it could be useful to more modern styles of music than i do.

I don't get this?

I export a midifile type 1 from Chordpulse. Then i drag&drop a TTS-1 or S-yxg50 (gm synths) first and the midifile second.

I only get 6 (iirc) named tracks, all with notes in them. The drum track is named drums and have got all percussion on it.

Maybe your problem lies elsewhere? I use the default settings in Chordpulse. Have you changed any settings besides the export question about midi type?

Above the arranger track you have the time to the left and you have the "workspace" to the right.

In MT website screenshot you can read "custom" instead.

If you make the change of "workspace" menu to "all" you're gonna see it change to "custom" and your fx would show up.

I'm not sure but have read up on some basics earlier in life.

I think it needs, >= ,Greater-Than or Equal To.

Iow, add the equal sign to your greater than sign.

I'm not mean.

If you have an audio interface with midi interface the preferences would be set with the midi interface settings for midi out/in.

.....

Maybe it's my grammar that makes it hard to understand.

It's an IF statement and i thought it was obvious what the ELSE statement would be.

"Would be set" means that i assumed most people have set the midi output and thus don't have TTS-1 popup automatically.

Agree, but step B is only necessary  if you have any MIDI output device selected in Preferences, not just a hardware interface, which in that case MIDI output will default to that selected MIDI device rather than automatically inserting  TTS-1.

Sorry, my fault.

I assumed that most people followed recommendations and selected the output (and input) devices as recommended by the daw the first time you start it.

You and Scook obviously don't do it.

Wonder how many users don't set up their audio AND midi devices from start of the daw?

Why would someone wait to set midi output when you already is there and setup the input?

I and everyone that have midi hardware surely set the output right away.

If you have an audio interface with midi interface the preferences would be set with the midi interface settings for midi out/in.

I would do this:

1.

A. If the original tempo is important, go to file menu and select open. Find the midi file and open it.

B. Add the TTS-1 by going to file menu insert and select softsynth. OR drag it in from the browser/plugins.

C. Leftclick and hold on the first miditracks number. Drag the pointer over all the other track numbers to select them. Press and hold the "Ctrl" key on the pc keyboard and select the TTS-1 as output on the first midi track. It changes the output on all selected midi tracks.

D. Ready to play.

2.

A. If the default120 tempo is ok. (Maybe i'm gonna change it back and forth). Go to browser/ media. Find the midi file and drag it in.

B. Add the TTS-1 by dragging it in from the browser/plugins.

C. Is the same

D. Is the same.

If gluing, raise the box and point the jack downwards.

Then the glue will stay at the top of the pin you're pushing upwards.

RIP Toots

Hmm...Toots.

I anticipated some nice harmonica playing.

I sacrificed my Laptop to have a pc with win 10 on so i can monitor that condescending os. (And have a backup plan if something happens to win7 and 8 ).

It's a Acer Aspire E15  Quadcore Pentium. Approx 5 years old. It handles 2004 update fine.

Someone know how to stop the Edge browser from starting up after login?

It's not among the startup software. I admit i haven't checked regedit and run once settings.

First time i could uninstall it. After an update installed it again i can't seem to find a possibility to uninstall it or stop it from starting on its own.

Yea, win 10 is the best. 🤢

That means it needs recoding.
