0 dolarmak 23 Report post Posted April 23, 2013 hmm that is odd, I've never see that problem before. i'll test with my version to see if a short midi will do the same. EDIT Okay I tried it with several 30-40 second midi tracks that I have and I didn't recieve any problems. It might just be your version of RPGmaker. My suggestion is back up all your files and try reinstalling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Moonpearl 32 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 RPG Maker loops a MIDI file when it's finished reading its content. It takes a single event placed way beyond the intended end of the song to confuse the system and have it play the entire silent part before reaching the outcast. Plus, said event does not even need to be a note, it might be a volume controller or whatever. You should make sure your MIDI file is clear of any unwanted events using a MIDI editor and it should work just fine. If you don't have a MIDI editor I might take a look at your file myself.

0 Moonpearl 32 Report post Posted April 25, 2013 Event? Generic name for any single elements that constitutes a MIDI song. The most obvious events are notes, of course, but there are also a variety of controllers (program change, pitch bend, volume, pan, modulation, reverb...) and each and every one of them counts the same as a note as far as RPG Maker is concerned (that is, play to the very last event before looping, be it a note or not). Also it might be that the last notes of your song have an extremely long duration (which you will not necessarily be able to hear because some instruments fade out instead of sustaining). Because RPG Maker not only plays to the last event but also to the end of the last event. However this seems a bit unlikely in your case given how long the song "pauses" before looping.

0 albertibay 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2013 Thx So its Probably because Finale Songwriter takes 4 pages of tablature. Even if WMP says its only 29s cause it does not read the rest. and RM Does Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
