I presume you'll probably have to import separate files for each instrument.
Then again I have no idea how MIDI works.

So is there any chance that a yamaha DTX works with a midi/usb device ? | |

My question is does anyone know if this controller can be hooked up to a computer using a midi-usb interface and be used as an actual controller for DTX Mania, and possible for Drummania? Or, is the MIDI interface for importing only and not exporting? Since it's wireless I don't see how you can hook it up to a computer without a midi-usb out. | |

| I wouldn't really call this the same thing. KBM:Y was a PC game, no interformat switching there. Still, I'm curious as to the "hardware limitations" of the 360 that prevent this. Sounds like more of a lame excuse to me.

If they were going to pull this shit and make a lame excuse just because they're lazy or got bribed, I doubt they'd go in the least popular console's favour.

MIDI import would make this feature simply amazing...If the songs didn't have a 3 minute and 1,200 note limit. With this limitation, it's pretty much useless IMO. | |

I think the only problem is that people nowadays don't use MIDIs. I mean, unless I'm mistaken (which I think I'm not), they're an extremely dated music format. | |

There are still people making MIDIs, and you can still find an assload of them online. | |

midi is still used quite a bit. it is old and dated, but it's rock solid. midi isn't just what you used to hear playing in the background of those old school 90's websites. i imagine you'll send midi notes to the game and the game will use its own built in instrument sounds to make it sound decent. read this for more info on midi.

MIDI is literally a digital music sheet/score, which your computer takes the role of the instrument and performer. the sound of completely dependant on your computer's sound card, or instrument libraries.
You'd be surprised to know that most of today's PC created music uses MIDI in one way or another.
Also, most of Rockband and Guitar Hero's notecharts are in fact, written in MIDI. | |
