== [[Recording_library_MS|MIDI File Import]] ==

Only single track [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface#File_formats MIDI Format 0] files are compatible with Management Suite. Without the Recording Librarian option, a supported carillon can only store one MIDI file at a time in the recording buffer.

It is important to transpose the music properly for the bell voice you will use to play it back. Automated chimes and carillons are always transposed to ring the largest bell on middle C, or C4 (Midi note 60) regardless of their true pitch. Millennium Cast Bronze carillon voices range from C3 to C8. Millennium Chime and harp selections use a split keyboard with the harp from C3 to Bb5 and the chime from B5 to C8. Notes above and below these ranges are prohibited.

Version 5.0 of the Management Suite and firmware version 0215 eliminate the restriction of temp and CPQ given below. The new software/firmware will successfully import and faithfully perform a MIDI file having tempo and time signature changes.

Version 4.7 of the Millennium Suite supports [[Recording_library_MS|importing]] MIDI files to the carillon if it is equipped with the Recording Librarian option.

It is also important to transpose the music properly for the bell voice you will use to play it back. Automated chimes and carillons are always transposed to ring the largest bell on middle C, or C4 (Midi note 60) regardless of their true pitch. Millennium Cast Bronze carillon voices range from C3 to C8. Millennium Chime and harp selections use a split keyboard with the harp from C3 to Bb5 and the chime from B5 to C8. Notes above and below these ranges are prohibited.

Some users have noticed that stacking lots of notes in fast changing chords will overload the playback engine of the carillon or bell controller that results in a slowdown of playback tempo. Quickly arppegiating dense chords will avoid this slowdown without a noticeable change of arrangement. Such an arrangement is also more pleasing to the ear of the average listener.
