Importing a MIDI Song into the Song Book

The songs you can perform are not limited to those which came with Teach Me Piano Deluxe. If you have songs in MIDI format, you can add them to the Songbook and then print them out, complete with note names.

To import a song:

1.Click the Import MIDI button at the top of the screen.

2.Using the Open dialog box, locate the file you want to import.

3.Double-click the desired file name to display the Import MIDI File dialog box.

4.After entering the appropriate information, click OK to add your song to the Songbook.

Enter the Song Name and

Composer

The name of the song file you have chosen appears here

When Importing MIDI Files

Select which track in the song will be displayed in the Treble Clef

Select which track will be displayed in the Bass Clef

Click here to select the

Split Track option

Select the amount of

Track Quantization

If Split Track is selected

you can select the Split Pitch that divides the Treble and Bass Clefs (C5 is middle C)

The Import dialog box allows you to import both .MID and .ORC files. .ORC files are Voyetra’s proprietary sequencer files which can be produced with Voyetra’s MIDI Orchestrator Plus™ and Digital Orchestrator Pro™.

Some .ORC files may contain digital audio. If you import a file with digital audio, the digital audio tracks will be ignored when importing, and these tracks will be deleted when the file is saved in Teach Me Piano Deluxe.

Imported files are saved on your hard drive in the \voyetra\teachme directory. These files are saved with the

.ORC extension.

The Songbook only displays notation in the Grand Staff. You can import a song with more than two tracks, but only two tracks will be displayed. However, you will hear the other tracks playing. This can be useful when you want to learn a part in a song you’ve imported. Then, when you feel confident with it, click Do It in the Performance Screen and you can perform the song with the other tracks in the MIDI file.

If you import a file that contains only one track, it defaults to the treble clef — and only the treble clef displays. If you change the track to display in the bass clef, the entire grand staff displays.

Deleting a Song from the Songbook

Only songs that have been imported can be deleted from the Songbook. All the imported songs have the word “Import” next to them in parentheses.

To delete a song from the Songbook:

1.Click on the Song Name you wish to delete.

2.Click the Delete from List box at the bottom of the screen. You are prompted with a dialog box that asks if you are sure you wish to delete the file.

3.Click Yes to delete the file.
