Welcome btw


I havent yet, but this dude who came to church recommended that I use them to have the rhythm section play, and I fill in on keys at different speeds or keys, to get the hang and a better grasp on playing with people and around a rhythm section.

i use midis in worship sometimess

for backing tracks or soft music for interludes and

if you go to vanbasco.com and download the free karoke player you will be able to see the midi files and the keyboard notes that are being played in a song

Pretty much like the 2 ministers have said.

Honestly, there are many uses for midi files and a few of them have been mentioned already. I personally use them to learn certain progressions and chords to particular songs. Other uses include:

• Analyze Each Instrument
• Use as Background Music
• Slow Down or Speed Up
• Transpose

I know a lot of people use the Vanbasco Player however I use a program called 'Midiillustrator' (it does cost a little but its well worth it). It also allows you to do these things listed and much much more.
