I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card with a AD_Link (26
pin) connector. How can I connect a MIDI device on it?
I have a MIDI cable with 15 pin on one side and two plugs of 5 pin
each on the other side that connect to my electronic piano.
Do I need another cable that goes from the AD_Link (26 pin)
connector to the 15 pin MIDI cable?

Hi. I'm just getting into Reason and I'm looking for a MIDI controller
to use with the software; i don't need a keyboard with built in effects
since I'll just be using the ones that are in the soundbank on the
computer. I have a tight budget. Any suggestions on which controllers I
should look at? I would like to buy one with the full set of keys, but
would be willing to settle for something smaller if it's cheaper and
worth more for the money.

Thanks,
-Adam

Hi everyone!
I'm new to this group but I have a question to ask to whoever is
willing to answer. I'm 16 years old and i'm trying to get into some
multi-track recording. I am currently using Fl Studio with a pretty
old, very basic keyboard, which is MIDI compatible. I know how to hook
up the key board to Fl Studio, and i can use it as a controller with the
sounds in Fl Studio, however, I cannot seem to find ANY way of using the
sounds in the piano in Fl Studio. My computer recieves the signal and
all that, but i need to figure out how to use the sounds on this
keyboard with my comp before i can get a more serious piece of
equipment. And insight to the matter is really appreciated!
-Thanks,
Abilyk

Over the years I've seen lots of tools to generate random MIDI files
within certain specifications, but is there any such tool for
MusicXML? I'd like to generate files with random key signatures every
bar and random enharmonics (double-flats, etc.) for some intense sight-
reading practice--any ideas? I can't find anything on google so far..

Ok.
There is a HUGE bewildering array of keyboards available for around
$300 or less.
I am looking for something for my young kids to play on as well as for
me to try to learn piano.
I was thinking that these would be the minimum criteria

-full sized, touch-sensitive keys, preferring 76 keys over 61, if
affordable
-general MIDI
-USB connection to a Mac or a PC
-very good sound quality
-a good number of built in voices/instruments, tempos, ...
-good user interface, decent LCD, readable, ...

If I had my choice, I would choose 76 keys over 61.

Hi all,

Well, I am looking for a way to calculate polyphony within MIDI
files. The aim would be to feed an indicator showing the current
number of notes which are played simutaneously, and to evaluate
the maximum polyphony reached within a MIDI file.

A basic method would be to add +1 at every new NoteOn
event, and to substract -1 when the same note is switched
off through a NoteOff event. This way, I always get the
(theoretical) number of notes being played simultaneously
at the current time.

But, doing so with some midi files, I will get a wrong indication
of what can be heard, as some MIDI instruments do stop
automatically after a while (case with notes played on piano,
drums, ...) even if no NoteOff event is sent (at least with
the default controls), while with other instruments, notes will
be played and heard forever if we don't stop them by sending
an explicit NoteOff.
