where to find downloadable midi chords
hello all I wanted to add to my Music Creator 5 library of midi chords so i can also add them to my Studio Instruments package. May i ask if anyone knows which websites have downloadable Midi chords, as i have looked for ages without finding any, except full songs, and i just want chords. many thanks Jason

I don't think you will find downloadable midi chords in a library.....
Just open the staff view and mouse them in or better yet, use a midi controller to play them in....
It's just to easy to play them with a controller/keyboard..... and they would be too hard to use unedited.... so since that issue exists.... no one would waste the time doing that....
Just play what you need or mouse it into the project...

Yes I did, kinda.
Problem was, with the low storage space of my ISP's website, I deleted it to make room for more songs.
The source is on my DAW computer, so when I crank it up tomorrow, I'll copy it and repost it, or send it to jasonking directly, if he wants it.
It's major and minor chords, from A through G#, if I recall correctly... or maybe C through B. Anyway, a full octave of 1/4 note chords. Or whole notes... it was awhile ago.
It will take some editing to use them in a song, changing the note durations, changing the octave, etc.

After trying unsuccessfully to burn the MIDI chords project file and/or the plain ol' .mid file to DVD in order to get those things onto this computer, I instead saved them to my external HD enclosure and connected that to this computer.
I zipped up the .cwp file so it's now 524 bytes instead of 64 KB and attached it to an email to you, Jason. I don't know if your computer will be able to unzip it, but if it can, you'll be able to open MC, click File>Open and navigate to that .cwp file (wherever you save it to) and open it right up. The chords are seperated and labeled and are MIDI Groove Clips.
If you can open it, you need to click each of the groove clips, go to File>Export>MIDI Groove Clip then put them one at a time in your Sample Content folder under MIDI Groove Clips. For me, that was under Documents and Settings>HP Administrator>My Documents>Cakewalk>etc. etc. I hope your file system is similar to mine.
They are each 6-note chords, whole notes at a velocity of 80. And being Groove Clips, you can drag them out so they'll play over and over or you can paste them in anywhere.
Good lucK!

Got your email, Jason. Apparently it is just the shortcut link. I emailed it to myself to see if the file would open and of course it did; the shortcut link opened the file which is on this computer.  Anyway, go to my personal web site (the embarqspace link below). I put a new page called Downloads on it and uploaded the Cakewalk file to it and it is downloadable... or should be.
