Torpedo

I can't choose instruments in preferences, there there's other stuff about midi output, looping, optimization for number of tracks or short delay, etc. However your suggestion, since the .mid file cannot be added to the left pane, made me to create a "new project". This opened a different window with just a "grand piano" track. When adding the .mid file there, it caused a crash and the program closed itself. On restart, creating a new project now showed plenty of instruments in a center pane, where I chose guitar. Now adding the .mid file was possible and it opened all the instruments into the .mid, but the sound is awful and I can't see any score to play along. Thanks!

Couple of Mac/OSX questions. I'm still using Mavericks, for reference. - I have a few midi (.mid) files which are GarageBand compatible, my friends can play them on their Macs using GB-9 and use them to rehearse their lines. In my MBP they won't play. At first they got a warning of not being "approved developer sourced" files, then I told the system to open them anyway, and now they won't play in GB saying "Garage Band cannot play Midi Audio files". Suggestions to fix that? I don't have other GB legit files to see how it works, but the program seems to open and work normally. The midis in my computer play as tunes if using other midi players like MidiTrail. What bugs me most is that my mates can play them normally using my very same version of Garage Band. - Is it possible to add more hard drive capacity to an existing external USB HDD by using another external HDD somewhat linked to it? On Windows one could use what they called "dynamic driver" so when adding more disk space, you could tell the system to handle that storage capacity as if it were physically part of the existing unit. I'd need to do this in order to keep a large collection of files which are individually handled by an application. If I added a larger disk and copied those files into it, I'd be forced to individually add those files into that application. Then the dynamic drive solution would let me just add more files which this application would see as "more of the same" as I already have.

How do you fool them to let you take the pictures?

No worries, Larry, I'll dispose it at the clean point we have about a mile away from home [emoji6]

New battery arrived this evening and it's been replaced already. iFixit tools are really good, it never took me this little to open the MBP. The new battery seems absolutely legit, came half charged at 54% and is lasting a lot. OSX isn't showing the "fix battery" warning anymore. Now the trackpad click is soft, I think it's never been this soft, not even when the computer was brand new. That or my fingers have got so strong by clicking on the old battery for months that now I can drill on wood with my sole finger.

Happy birthday, gents!!!!
