The track list is a sort of a summary, showing different instruments together as tracks. When you start Sekaiju or open a MIDI file, this is the first window that will show. Also seen is the universally recognized Play, Record, Rewind and Fast forward buttons. Sekaiju’s menus and respective tool bar buttons for the Track list, Piano roll, Event list and Musical score windows. These are accessible through the “ View” menu and through respective buttons in the toolbar. There are four windows that show MIDI information differently: It is not as simple as, for example, Aria Maestosa, but it is also not something that you would leave as you become more proficient and advanced. One thing about Sekaiju is that it contains both advanced and basic MIDI editing functionality. But eventually I observed that many DAWs have the same user interface paradigm as Sekaiju. Without any background in MIDI editing, at first I thought that the interface was complicated. You need to restart the program for the changes to take effect. That is the shortcut key for Setup and Language. (Screenshot taken from their website)įor those who prefer an English interface and are mystified by the initial Japanese menus, press “ ALT + S + L” to change to a language you prefer. Sekaiju 2.0 simultaneously showing Track View, Piano Roll and Event List windows. Sekaiju has a MDI (multiple document interface) GUI, meaning that you don’t have to see everything at the same time. Although the screenshot on their website shows you several child windows at a time, it is much simpler once you try it. Like a well integrated native Windows program, no fancy dark themes most DAWs tend to have*.
#ARIA MAESTOSA IMPORT MIDI PACKS PROFESSIONAL#
I personally think that Sekaiju’s screenshots have a clean and professional feel. Although GUI look has nothing to do with functionality, it has a lot of psychological effects.
#ARIA MAESTOSA IMPORT MIDI PACKS SOFTWARE#
The first thing that makes me decide whether or not to use any software is how its GUI looks. This tutorial gives an overview of Sekaiju’s user interface and should, hopefully, get you started into using it. I’ve already successfully made a dozen audio tracks using these software combined with free soundfonts/samples and VSTs around the web. So, the next alternative is to have a good free MIDI editor and a way to render to audio using quality VSTs and soundfonts. The free DAWs may be a bit complex and overwhelming especially for beginners ( LMMS and Macaw).
If you are on Windows, the good DAWs cost money. Sekaiju is an actively developed open source MIDI editor for Windows.
