Give us screen shots of your MIDI tracks, instrument tracks, synth rack. We need to see what you have and haven't done.

i am trying to do but nothing yet. all i have is a midi file that was exported from musescore

[Nigel Mackay]

1) Click on the track to select it.
2) Just above the tracks click on Tracks, then Duplicate Track(s)...
3) Check Events, then click Ok.

Send screenshot.

where is Event situated?

[Nigel Mackay]

Do step 1

Do step 2

You will see Events

[kyrillos]

i am trying i just cant find Events

 

[Nigel Mackay]

Step 2 is click on Duplicate Track(s). Do it. You will see Events. Do Step 3.

If you want, click on Duplicate Track(s) and do a screenshot immediately.

When you click on Duplicate Track(s) this is what you get:

 

Under Duplicate it says

Events                                                             
   Link to Original Clip(s)
Properties
Effects

Make sure Events is checked, but not Link to Originals

That copy you made has no MIDI data because you didn't check Events before clicking Ok.

Now, if you click Play you should get sound. The Es will be wrong, but you will have sound.

Save the project.

Track 1 is selected.  We will use that for all the notes except E.
From the menu select Views -> Piano Roll View.
Scroll up and down until you see your MIDI notes.
On the piano keyboard on the left click on the E key.
You will see something like this (Note the right notes, but you get the idea 😀)

All the Es are selected. Press Delete key.  All the Es are removed.

Save.

Click on track 2 to select it.
In the PRV (piano roll view) you will see the notes in track 2. Which is everything.
One at a time: click on the keyboard for a note which is NOT an E. Delete. Next note.

Now you only have the Es in Track 2.

Save.

Let me know you have managed this.

[kyrillos]

done .
i highlighted E copied it then deleted everything back and past it at the correct position 

[Nigel Mackay]

Let's try again.

Delete both MIDI tracks. Completely. Import it. Do the Duplicate Track(s) again. With Events checked.

Select Track 1. Open piano roll view. Let's pretend your music looks like this.

Click on E on the keyboard. You get this.

Press Delete. You get this.

Track 1 now has everything except Es.

[kyrillos]

yes i did that the above track has no Es and the underneath has only E

[Nigel Mackay]

Now select Track 2. You see this.

Click on G. You see

Press Delete. You get

Now click on F

Press Delete

Do the same for D and C. You are left with this

 

Now Track 2 has ONLY Es. And track 1 has EVERYTHING EXCEPT Es.

Try it.

Looks correct for zoomed out. 👍

Are you using the free version of BBC Orchestra? The one called Discover?

yes i was waiting two weeks to get it for free

[Nigel Mackay]

Don't have it, so can't experiment for you.

 

Open the interface for the track 2 synth: In Track 2 click on the little picture of a keyboard to the left of the track name. Between the 2 and "BBC Symphony".

In the top bar of the interface is CPU    DISK    MEM   ...   TUNE. Tune has a knob next to it.

Start play, then click on theTune knob and see how it can be adjusted, what values it displays (if any) and see if you can detune it to the note you want.

Unfortunately I have no idea if it does fine tuning, or semi-tone steps, or what. Just give it a go.

Congrats, and kudos to Nigel for figuring out how the VSTi could make it happen!

[Nigel Mackay]

@User 905133 Thanks

@kyrillos  Spitfire LABS (free), has some interesting sounds, and much the same interface as BBC Orchestra, so you will be able to do the same thing with those sounds. Future projects.
