pa600 midi loop

[joshhuntnm]

I'd like to be able to loop a midi file until stopped.

Can anyone recommend some software to duplicate a midi file so it repeats, say, three times?

Josh, any midi sequencer software can easily do that. What is it you're trying to do with it eventually?

[joshhuntnm]

can you recommend a free and easy to use one?

I lead worship at my very small church. I found a midi file of a hymn I want to do. I want it to repeat 4 times. I can hit the "start over" button on the keyboard, but I would like it to loop automatically.

Thanks for your help.

Got it. I'm sure there are some free sequencers that could do this, but I've never used them so I can't recommend any. If you couldn't find a free one, you could look into "Reaper" as it's real nice and affordable.

You can also use your keyboard to do this too. Load the midi file into the sequencer (sequencer mode) and there you could copy-paste any number of bars as many times as you like. Then, you can save the file.

A simple solution may be to loop the song by a jump to a saved marker on top of the song. Touch the marker in the display and jump to the saved position (top of the song) at the beginning of the next measure, to repeat a song as often as you want.

To set a marker, open the Marker page by pressing both the MARKER button. This page shows the Song Markers in the Song Play and Songbook modes.

Here you can set your own marker points that can be read with the Pa600 to quickly jump to a given position in the song.
