Creating a Concert Magic Song
You can also use Concert Magic to play a song that isn’t one of the 176 built-in titles. You can record
a new song using the Concert Performer’s Recorder and then save on a floppy disk as a Standard
MIDI File (SMF). The song can now be selected by pressing the DISK button when you are in the
Concert Magic song selection screen.
• You can also record a song for Concert Magic by using an external sequencer. Remember to save
it to a floppy disk as a Standard MIDI File.
As you might imagine, getting your song to sound exactly the way you want it to in Concert Magic
may require a few adjustments to the original arrangement. The most important consideration is to
keep the musical arrangement as simple as possible. Concert Magic “pauses” the song after every
note as it waits for you to tap the next key. If there are complex rhythm patterns that have many
notes per beat, the song may become overly difficult to play. Here are some suggestions for creating
a Concert Magic song:
1) Record the melody first using the RIGHT 1 Part in the Easy Recorder (or Track 2 in the Advanced
Recorder).
2) Then record the accompaniment using the LEFT Part in the Easy Recorder (or Track 4 in the Advanced
Recorder).
3) Arrange the accompaniment so that its notes fall on the same beats as the melody. (This creates a
Melody Play arrangement.)
4) If you want to be a little more adventurous, insert a few carefully placed accompaniment notes in
between melody notes. (This creates a Skillful arrangement.)
5) If you are recording your song using an external sequencer, record the melody on channel 2 and the
accompaniment on channel 4.
6) For best results, you should quantize your parts.
• Of course, these are merely suggestions. There are no steadfast rules for how to compose your
CM song. In fact, very rewarding musical experiences may come out of simple trial and error.
