Converting MIDI or MusicXML to OMN

[TomTolleson]

Hello,

 

I'm a new user and wondering if there is a recommended method to input and convert a score to OpusModus.

 

I have a score I've written in 4 parts each part represented in its own file in both MusicXML and MIDI. My goal is to import (either the MIDI or MusicXML) and convert these to OMN so that I can modify them using functions.

 

I have been able to import them but I'm having difficulty converting them to OMN and I haven't been able to find this specific use case in any of the documentation.

 

Any best practice or advice is appreciated.

 

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

 

you can import your file as Midi with the function Midi to score in the File Menu.

 

But for a good importation, your midi need to be very "clean".

 

I generaly obtain very good result from midi conversion to OMN but i prepare carefuly my tracks in logic with no overlap of notes, perfect quantization etc....

 

Once you midi tracks are clean, import and convert to OMN works very well.

 

I suppose if your tracks come from a score editor, normally the importation into Opusmodus from Midi could be ok.

Hi Stephen,

 

Thank you for your response. I have one question - where in the interface would I find the action to convert to OMN? I've selected the file and right-clicked but did not see the option in the menu. 

 

Thank you,

 

Tom

Hi Tom,

 

you need to open the midi-file into the Opusmodus Player and click in it for give it the focus.

 

After that, go to the File menu (top left in Opusmodus software) and select Export => Midi to score.

Hello all,

 

I have been using MIDI to OMN for a while, but is there a way to transform MusicXML to OMN within OMN (just because it is much easier to review and look at the notation)?

Not for now but it will be in V.2.
