Hi,

the 2 do not share the same MIDI.
When you Search for grooves, you can use the Filter and select Hip-Hop Grooves. Then the results are from that library only.

so you mean i can search those 2 midis with “tap 2 find” ?
i mean some midis can’t not be searched with “tap 2 find”.
so i wanted to make sure.

Just to be 100% clear. Toontrack MIDI was tagged by a person…. all 90,000 files. It is not calculated by a computer.
It would be impossible for Toontrack to tag all of the nearly infinite amount of 3rd party MIDI that is out there.
There may be a solution in the future for users to tag their own MIDI as Erik previously said in this thread: “Designing a area that allow you users to tag your own MIDI and to do so in an Easy way is not something that we wanted to rush through. We are still discussing how to implement this but it on our short list. As to when and how we figure out how to do it (easy) is another question.”

thx for response.

i’m not sure why tagging is so important.
i don’t need you to tag all the 3rd party midis.

i’m fine with blank tag column with 3rd party midis.

is it technically impossible to include 3rd party midi to search database without tagging?
or “tag 2 find” significantly uses tag to search midi?

i don’t care tags if i can just find and listen similar midis with “tag 2 find”.

i agree with colegrey that this feature is revolutionary.
just hope i can use this feature with every midis.

out of topic but is it possible to implement this feature to ezkeys?
it would also be revolutionary.

I just posted something similar, then found this thread. This is really disappointing, as my most favorite MIDI is in fact 3rd party. I don’t see how 3rd party MIDI couldn’t be easily analyzed mathematically for note positions. I understand about tags and style type stuff, but for basic pattern matching I don’t see how it should be hard to implement. It may not be as accurate as Toontrack branded MIDI, but at least it’ll give us access to the tool when using the 3rd party MIDI.

totally agree

Honestly, Tagging I’m not that concerned with it it works for the midi recognition, like the tap2find or song creator. You can always right click and ‘show in browser’ if you’re really concerned weather your fitting groove came from the ‘Swedish samba micro-beats in 13/9’ or the ‘radical rock and rowdy reggae rhythms’ folder. I pretty much dont care where the groove came from if it works.

i agree. i don’t care bout tags, i don’t even read them when i use “tap 2 find”
really really hope toontrack just let 3rd party midi packs can be registered in database.
