Here's a pretty cool (and free) program that displays, modifies and plays
midi files. What is really cool about it is that you can display any of
the
tracks of the midi file in different modes, including staff (music), piano
roll and (this is what is of interest to guitarists) in a guitar
tabulation
mode.



Just downloaded it - thanking you very much I am.

I bought the add-on too.

This should be interesting.



I've been messing around with the free version for a while and just ordered
the whole package. Waiting for an email for instructions how where to
download.

If you go back to the Willow Software Site .. www.AnvilStudio.com you will
find much support for any questions. They also have a dedicated forum to
discuss how to use, etc.

I just downloaded a ".kar" version of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight".
A .kar file is basically a .mid (midi) file with an extra track reserved to
display lyrics. You can play a .kar file in a standard midi player (or
keyboard that has a disk or memory card) by simply renaming the .kar file
from xxxxxx.kar to xxxxxx.mid. The AnvilStudio program will play both
..kar and .mid but will not always display the lyrics.

If you want to play a .kar file and display the lyrics as well, download
this program. Also a freebie.

It's a great little program. Plays both .kar and .mid but doesn't permit
much customizing other than muting tracks and changing the key.
