editing pre-made midi files

Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 9:04 pm

Im a guitarist by trade and not much of a keys guy so I'm thinking I can d/l existing midi files and edit them...
there are plenty of free midi players, and u can see the separate instruments...but whats available to edit them?
I have access to some software and havent found anything yet that will do what I want to do. I want to change individual intruments, edit notes, add effects...can anyone help?

details...
-cover tunes
-win xp

any of the DAW sequencers can do this

you will need a sound module OR a multi instrument soft synth

some of the sequencers have some soft syths built in OR have a demo copy of a dedicated softsynth

Smile

see how I did use any brand names there
