Bring the files into your DAW and choose your own instruments. MIDI makes no sound by itself.

  2. Drum parts use General MIDI note numbers on channel 10. Load them into a GM-mapped drum instrument, or remap them for your drum plugin.
  3. No file sends a program change on the drum channel (10).
  4. Channel layout: guitar on channel 1, bass on 2, lead on 3, drums on 10.
  5. Standard MIDI Files, format 1, 960 PPQ.
  6. Every file has a time signature event at each meter change, at the same positions in the FULL file and the split parts.

Not tested with any specific DAW or plugin.

BEFORE YOU IMPORT.

SET YOUR TUNING TO B STANDARD.

Import the FULL file or the split parts, never both, or every note doubles.

Your guitar instrument must reach MIDI 35 (B1) and your bass instrument MIDI 23 (B0); five of the eight arrangements use both notes. Meridian Fault and Cartographer (E Dorian) go down to MIDI 40 (E2) and MIDI 28 (E1); Thirteen Bells (F# minor) goes down to MIDI 42 (F#2) and MIDI 30 (F#1). A six-string in standard tuning stops at MIDI 40 (E2) and a four-string bass in standard tuning stops at MIDI 28 (E1), so use a 7-string guitar and a 5-string bass in B Standard, or instruments that reach those notes.

The lead goes up to MIDI 83 (B5), so your lead instrument must reach that note. The lead plays one note at a time. No file contains pitch bend or controller (CC) data.

Time signatures: 4/4, 5/4, 7/8, 9/8, 11/8, 13/16 and 15/16, with changes inside each arrangement. Keep time signature import on in your DAW so the bar lines match. Each arrangement is 42 to 92 bars, as listed above.

Not tested with any specific DAW or plugin.

LICENCE, PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.

ON SALE NOW.

Licence: Cinderhall MIDI Pack Licence

Licence summary. When you buy a pack, or download a free one from Cinderhall's official store, you (one person, one band or one studio) get a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide licence to use the MIDI files in your own musical works. You may record, release, perform, stream, sync and sell music you make with these files, commercial or not, with no further fees or credit required, and edit, transpose, re-voice, cut and combine the files freely inside your works. You may sell or license beats and instrumentals made with the files as finished, rendered audio, and use them in work for clients; the client gets the finished work, not the MIDI files. People you engage on a specific project may use the files for that project only. You may not resell, share, upload, give away or redistribute the MIDI files themselves, alone or bundled, edited or not, including in sample packs, MIDI packs, templates, presets, libraries or AI/ML training sets, and you may not share a DAW project or template that contains them. You may not grant exclusive rights in the Cinderhall material, or register a work made mainly of unedited Cinderhall files with a content-identification system such as YouTube Content ID. Cinderhall keeps ownership of the files. Files are provided as is. The full licence text applies; it ships as LICENSE.txt (English, the official version) and LICENCE-FR.txt (French) in the ZIP.

Price: CAD 19.
