What world have I stumbled into? This could turn into a new passion. My son is mad on Dr. Who, that 60s series. He also plays a keyboard...a small 36 key thing with lots of electronic gadgetry. " So, teach me to play Dr Who's original Theme Song" . Great! Dive through the internet and found lots of midi files but few sheet music, unless you're ready to part with $10+ which I'm not. Lost in the chords of midi music, I came through a clearing... "convert Midi files to sheet music" . Hang on ... this might work. I downloaded a trial version of MidiNotate. Downloaded a midi file of Dr Who (thank you the person who created that file)...played it through midiNotate and voila, sheet music for Dr Who's theme. For the heck of it, I also downloaded Simpson's and Law and Order. Brilliant...absolutely brilliant. Of course the trial version doesn't print or save. So I copied each page, by page and pasted them on my graphics programme. And then printed it out. MidiNotate is brilliant. Will save up and get it because it also lets you compose stuff which is now my next project as soon as I fix the stereo hi fi.
The son is now thrilled. But keyboard only has 36keys...the sheet starts with a low A...we ran out of keys. I will just have to transcribe. MidiNotate would probably do this in a flash, but this is a trial version, so I can't print out and will have to do cut and paste like mad. But what a wonderful trip it was... what a wonderful world this is - the world of Midi Sheet.
