Midi

[ScottDuncan]

Any ideas on how to make AMS play a midi file starting from a chosen measure to another chosen measure (i.e. 4th measure to 8th measure).
I understand how to take in the variables, just not how to trigger a particular measure.

Hi. Have you tried playing it using the Media Player plug-in and then using a "MediaPlayer.Seek" action? That should work, here's the help file on that action:

Don't forget that this will play the MIDI file through the user's default MIDI output though, in some cases that may be unpredictable given the nature of MIDI systems. For the most part you should be OK though. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply (typical for this forum). I was trying to avoid using the Time, hoping for Measure Numbers, but Time should work.

As long as you know the tempo in BPM it should be easy to figure out the time using a calculator, i.e. 4 bars at 120 BPM = 8 seconds, etc.
