This was a fun song to transcribe. Finding the right MIDI source file and in the right key was a challenge and I wanted to find and use a train horn for the start of the song but, I did not want to add the train horn to an existing user-created drum set opting instead to use the horn as an accent hit. As you start to play the song, you can play the accent hit. For those that have the time and inclination, they can built the wav file into any existing kit and trigger it within the MIDI file.
Very cool, nice sound!
Can you point to a tutorial on integrating the WAV files? I’ve never been able to make that work in my BB. I transferred the .sng file over to the BB with the manager, that’s about it.
Appreciate it
Here’s the Cliff Notes of what I did for this train horn wav:
Searched the Internet for sample of a decent train horn; you can search using the terms below; sorting through all of the results was probably the most time-consuming part of the steps involved.
train horn sounds samples;
train horn wav files;
I used the first term and came up with lots of search hits:
The key point is you want to use something that’s free and available in wav format;
Preview and download any of the samples;
I used a DAW to trim the wav to just the sound I wanted and saved it to the desktop. You can also use Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org
Save the wav file to your desktop so it’s easy to find;
Launch the BBM and click on Accent Hit and navigate to your desktop and select the wav file and press Open; save your project; preview the sample; if it plays you’re good.
