FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How many markers can a MIDI song contain?
Maximum 50 markers per MIDI song.

There is no limit to the number of playlists.

Maximum 250 songs per playlist.
With MP11 I have the option to edit the speed and the key of a song. Do I
have to do this every time, or can I save the changes I make?
Of course, you can save the changes you make. To do this, start by playing
back a song and then press one of the buttons SPEED -/+ or KEY -/+ to make
the changes that you want. Finally, press the SAVE button (during the play-
back), and thus you have stored the changes (see page 23).
A few of the MIDI file medleys stop playing all of a sudden - why?
MP11 can only manage MIDI files that are not bigger that 250 KB. The MP11
will recognize and will play those files (at first), but will stop their playback at
some point (and that point is when the limit of the internal MP11 storage is
reached).
When I want to play back a song, sometimes there is a message on display
saying „TOO MANY TEXT ROWS“ or „TOO MANY TEXT SYLS“, and the song
does not start. What does that mean?
Songs that bring about these messages on display contain a text, which has
been edited in a way that when you play back the file, every single text syl-
lable is displayed in a separate line. Therefore, in such cases the file contains
too many text lines (= text rows) and too many text syllables (= text syls) as
well.
Since MP11 can manage a maximum of 350 text lines per file (which is
usually more than enough), you will have to re-edit the texts in such proble-
matic files in a way that they are no longer divided and displayed by syllables
(per line), but by line.
This manual refers a few times to „original © M- Live songs“. Where can I
get those?
On the website of „Songservice (= M-Live)“ - at: http://songservice.it/en/
There you can find a good number of MIDI and MP3 songs that have been
adapted especially for MP11. It means: These songs already contain all the
data like title-name, genre, artist, texts and lyrics etc. In addition, those MIDI
files already contain MARKERS as well.
Go to the website and take a look around. Via the buttons „Professional MIDI“
and „MP3-Tracks“ you can first select the file format of your choice. Scroll
all the way down in your selected category and click the link „See all new
MIDI backing tracks“, and this will list all the MIDI files for you. There are also
DEMOS available.
Note: If you open the MIDI file DEMOS right there on the website, the files play
back via the PC sound card, which does not make the sound that fascinating. But
if you play back the same file on MP11, it will be a completely different sound,
because the sounds are already harmonized on MP11.
