Editing MIDI Files

5 Docs

Clean up and reshape MIDI files with the Playback Editor, Note Editor and Console Mixer, without ever touching the original.

From Messy Download to Lesson

Last Updated: October 21, 2026

My route from a messy MIDI download to a clean practice file, using every editing tool in Orfeo, with a quick reference of what each tool saves.

How Saving Works

Last Updated: October 1, 2026

Every save writes a new _ORFEO_vN version in an Orfeo folder next to the original, which is never touched.

MIDI Playback Editor

Last Updated: October 1, 2026

Turn a raw MIDI file into clean practice material: keep, rename, recolor and re-voice tracks, merge scattered parts, split a piano track into two hands, then save it all as one new version.

MIDI Note Editor

Last Updated: October 1, 2026

Move, resize, add and delete notes on the piano roll, edit velocity, assign notes to hands and save a new version.

Console Mixer

Last Updated: October 22, 2026

A channel strip per track and a master strip with Tone and Compressor; save each track's volume, pan and effects into the file.
