Import and channels

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

  1. Import the FULL file or the split parts, never both, or every note doubles.
  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. This pack has no harmony part.
  5. Standard MIDI Files, format 1, 480 PPQ.

Not tested with any specific DAW or plugin.

LEAD RANGE NOTE.

CAN YOU PLAY EVERY LEAD NOTE?

Almost all of it. Two lead notes in the Signature Ring loops sit one semitone above the highest note on a standard six-string, 24-fret Drop C guitar. They are MIDI 87 (D#6/Eb6), the lead maximum, and that guitar tops out at MIDI 86 (D6).

Ember Hymn (DCFE01, lead file and FULL file): one held note at the start of bar 3.
Cold Cathedral (DCFE03, lead file and FULL file): one note on beat 4 of bar 5.

As MIDI they play normally in any instrument that reaches MIDI 87 (D#6). On a real guitar you will need an extended-range instrument, or you can play those notes an octave lower. Every other lead note falls within that range (the measured lead range is MIDI 70 to 87, maximum MIDI 87 (D#6)).

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.
