Sibelius midi help...

I've recently tried to export the midi file out of Sibelius for one of my compositions (i've tried it on sibelius 4 and 5) but it doesn't seem to work!! It creates a music file fine, but when you play it, it's just silence.

I've checked all the volume controls and stuff and they're all fine.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance.

:P

Make sure you have a proper GM library to on your sound card(download other midi files and make sure they work) then make sure that you setup the instruments properly in the midi file. It M and it will bring up the options. If the instrument is using the wrong midi channel or some instrument you don't have then its playing but you won't here anything. Although if its playing in sibelius it should work unless your using something like kontakt or whatever.

Upload the sibelius file onto this site. I'll have a quick look at it and see if I can export it to midi on my PC.

There we go.

Hope that's worked.

It's just its the start of one of my A2 Music compositions, and eventually i'll have to transfer it to CD.

Last year i had to do a bit of jiggery-pokery with a microphone and a speaker to record it so the quality was a bit worse. My teacher said export the midi out of it, but when i tried that i got the trouble i'm on about.

And thanks for having a look :)
