Hi,

I have a Tyros 5 and play midis from the "score" screen.  Some midis change between the treble clef and the bass clef on the melody stave. I can't read the bass clef and so would like to lock all these in the treble clef - all the notes are all in range. 

What have I tried?
Using song creator - deleted all sysex events - no effect.
Used PSRUTI to move all the channels up 1 octave - problem fixed (for sopranos), but then when you change down 1 octave the problem is back again.
Hours and hours reading up about sysex events and loaded so much software :)  I know that I can transpose the notes, but the cakewalk version that I have seems to delete all the "chord events".
Also tried changing the instrument from guitar to piano

Anybody got any idea - also ideas on a hair restorer would be welcome too :)

Thanks for reading.

- Andy

I was told a partial answer to this by someone who sells Yamaha.
The instrument that you record the melody in has to be a treble clef instrument: piano or trumpet. Many other instruments will span both staves.
Hope this helps

SYsex won't help you, Andy.

But I think you're on the right track with transpose, but do it on the keyboard.

Here's what I would try:
1. Transpose the Song up until all notes are in the treble clef.
2. If you need a certain key (eg, for a singer), you can transpose the keyboard down as required.

To specify what's transpose, use Transpose Assign in Functions.

Cheers,
Fred

Use only the treble bar
In most midi files is the melodie on miditrack 4
There is a free cakewalk sonar it keeps the chords
You can download it by bandlab

Andy,

My way of working around this problem :
Transpose ONLY the channel with the melody notes (+ 1 octave = +12 semi tones) in the midi file (mostly channel 4 but not necessary)..
That are the notes that you need to see on the screen for playing with the midi file.
As a reminder when playing I use lyrics to put eventually some remarks under the staff like : play 1 octave higher or play 1 octave lower.

If you like to play the midi file in another key then the solution from Fred Smith is correct.

Regards
Etienne

If plan A doesn't work, don't forget that the alphabet has 25 more letters.
