I have a problem concerning the Classical Archives website. My old MIDI files are posted on it as well as some of my original compositions on a separate page.
Last night I unexpectedly got an email and phone call from one of the guys on that site (Layne Tippets, and later a separate one from Pierre Schwob, his employer. Pierre had not yet checked them.) that two of my four Brahms Symphony 1 MIDI files don't play all the way through (presumably on their MIDI player) and can I resubmit them.
I am thinking, since the files seem intact on download, that the problem may be in the changed MIDI specs which don't easily allow for program changes in one region, eg: legato to pizz. strings even though these program changes show in the List view. As though to confirm this, the files won't play in QuickTime 10 but insist on QT 7.
If I go to the trouble of changing this in Logic by putting the pizz notes in a separate region, is this likely to work if I export the MIDI file from Logic?
