Voice Management

Midi Magic Enhancer - XG Edition Each click of the button "Voice Management" presents a separate screen The third click exits the function and returns to the main interface 1. Voice Management => to rename or to classify the voices 2. Revoicing Database => to override the MME's default choice 3. Returns to the main interface

If your instrument is not supported, you must write the name and select the category of the voices of your instrument For a 9000Pro that represents 342 panel voices + 480 XG voices The "experts" will be able to edit directly the "InsRef.ins" file If the voice already exists, you can easily modify its name or its category To remove a voice, erase its Voice Name then click on OK MSB, LSB and PC are zero based (0~127) An entry in the Revoicing Database allows you to override the MME's default choice. For example, if you always want to replace the Grand Piano with Bright Piano then this is the place to specify the assignment.

The Revoicing Database permits to impose the replacement of a voice by another If you don't specify the new voice, the software automatically researches the voice Example: For the XG voice MSB=0 LSB=0 PC=0 = > Grand Piano (XG) Midi Magic Enhancer researches the Panel Voice while incrementing research from LSB=112 MSB=0 LSB=112 PC=0 = > Grand Piano (Panel Voice) If the voice exists, it automatically replaces the original voice If the voice doesn't exist, it continuous the researches by MSB=113 MSB=0 LSB=113 PC=0 => Live!

Principle of the one click optimization The software analyzes each track, it identifies the tracks of drums, accompaniment, bass and solo By default it doesn't optimize the tracks of drums and bass 1. The software identifies and preserves the assignment of the existing effects 2. Midi Magic Enhancer applies the selected algorithm to the associated tracks 3. If for the given track, a voice of replacement exists in the revoicing database, it selects it and applies the associated effect 4. If the voice doesn't exist, it seeks the existence of an equivalent voice in the panel voices example XG - GrandPiano MSB=0 LSB=0 PC=0 => Panel Voice - Grand Piano MSB=0 LSB=112 PC=0 XG - Trumpet MSB=0 LSB=0 PC=56 => Panel Voice - SoloTrumpet MSB=0 LSB=112 PC=56 XG - TenorSax MSB=0 LSB=0 PC=66 => Panel Voice - Tenor Sax MSB=0 LSB=112 PC=66 Algorithms · Optimal The software optimizes one track of "accompaniment", then the tracks "solo" & "velocity" and after the remaining tracks classified by decreasing "velocity" · Priority to the accompaniment Priority to the tracks of "accompaniment" then the tracks "solo" and in the last tracks classified by decreasing "velocity" · Priority to the "solo" tracks Priority to the tracks "solo" then the tracks of "accompaniment" and in the last tracks classified by decreasing "velocity" · Priority to the velocity All tracks classified by decreasing "velocity" · Random Random selection of the tracks · Selected voice Optimize only the selected track
