Midi file playing in S.PLAY mode.

Hi, heres a quick query, im sure that most budding Extreme users would be able to help.

If have opened up a MIDI file on my PC and deleted the tracks that I dont want (melody etc). Resaved the MIDI file to the CF card (root dir) and with S.PLAY I can play the MIDI and I am amazed at the output of MIDI file though the Korg Triton. They drums are excellant. The MIDI file has 4 tracks which occupy the 1st 4 tracks in the S.PLAY mode.

What I want to do is whilst the MIDI is playing, with a combi occupying tracks 9-16, be able to play along with the MIDI file but without tracks 1-4 (midi tracks) sounding too just the COMBI (tracks 9-16). At the moment, I am playing the MIDI file and saving it as an MP3 file. Then with the the MP3 playing in the background, playing with it. This way works but is not ideal.

I hope I explained this right.

Thanks
Cliff

Sorry Cliff I'm struggling to understand what you want to achieve.

I think you need to load the Midi file into a song in sequencer mode then you can play along using the spare tracks.

If thats not what you want can you try and be more specific?

Yes thats what I want but when I got the file in the sequence player (in tracks 1-8 ) , i want to load my combo in 9-16 and play along without any of tracks 1-8 playing when I press the keys.
