This video is a guide on the basics of how to take a standard midi music file, and convert it into a playable song in FF14. For some songs, this is an extremely complex and time-consuming process, and every editor has different preferences… but these basics will get your foot in the door of this fun side content!

Nice some xenogears music, best RPG of all time.
Great Tutorial, do you mind doing one for channels like you mentioned?
Where did you even get such a clean midi file to begin with.
i'm in my 2nd week of barding in FFXIV and it's fun af. after the first few days of playing standard songs
i started to edit MIDIs that are not compatible with FFXIV in FL Studio, a few days later i switched to
recreating songs that i personally like. i can't play an instrument and have to rely on my ears only.
i wish i had seen this video before because those tips @ 5:03 would have saved me alot of time & pain.
thanks for the video.
ahh the true bard end game
Thanks for super helpful video! Trying to get World Without Logos from Hellsing, which is a rather herculean task since its a jazz piece. Managed to get something maybe passable, but I get "Cannot be loaded. One or more errors occurred" when trying to test it ingame. Any ideas?
All instruments follow the same rule of the C3-C6 range or it depends on the instrument? Thanks for the guide!!
Thank you so much.
I've been unable to change the instrument the track uses. Any suggestions?
I personally think it's much better to remove the middle note rather than the top note in a guitar chord. you lose a lot of depth to your sound if you remove the top note because you only get the middle and the bottom which doesn't capture the full range of the chord, making the chord sound very weird at times. This is very noticeable on Prosthetic Head and The Grouch by Green Day for instance. You can easily get away with 3 notes at a time, in my experience.
Otherwise, I feel like this video was very helpful for aspiring bards.
i simply can't understand anything, is there a repository for bmp midis?
Thank for for making this tutorial. I've only just entered the world of bard and found the process of making songs daunting. Your video really helped and I'm looking forward to trying following your process. A question I had was that if you had left Track 2 as is without merging it with track one, would that have been considered a duet?
I have been living the bard live the last month or so and enjoying BMP. I've finally decided it was time to make unique music not found on the BMP repository, which led me to this video!
I have recently learned that I am an idiot, however, and boy oh boy does this feel complicated. Gonna keep trying though. Your video gave me at least some sort of baseline to try and follow!
Found this randomly researching the performance feature, and holy crap, Xenogears music! Thank you for that, it was so nice to hear those songs in this guide.
This is extremely helpful, thank you.
Time to import Mega Man Zero music
Thank you, your videos helped me a lot, I love your songs ♥
This was such a helpful video thank you!
Thanks to this I was able to make my character play a theme song I loved from a childhood game that wasn't found on the midi repository, it's a shame I'm not musically gifted 😭
Automatic like for the Xenogears
Hello, i have question, is it possible to edit a file for havig the BMP changing between the different electric guitar ? i'm trying to do it for a song who have some part being played on an accoustic guitar and then with an overdriven/power . thanks in advance.
Oh wow. Finally what I have been searching for. Thanks a lot. Finally managed to fix some of my midi files with this
HAhaa… I tried… have only one track so cant cut it the easy way (too lazy to play with chords/notes/whatever). Picked some less messy piano videos and tried to convert into midi without changes – it was a mess anyway. Looks like Barding is actually a hard job.
Thank you for the video!
How do you convert mp3/4 files to midi so i can import them to midieditor?
