Set Note
On events CTRL-F
This
function is an additional feature of MIDI Locator full version
and allows you to fill
a selected area with any number of one single Note On event.
To fill a selection with a given number of Note On events which
have all the same key is most often used for drum instruments.
Maybe you start a new MIDI file, which has 4/4 beat and you will
fill your MIDI file with one single stupid kick sound on every
beat. You could simply create a drum track with this function
:
Example of the final
result we want to reach
You first have to choose the MIDI channel you want to use for
your events. Do this before selecting the key because the content
of the key combo box will change if you switch between the MIDI
channel which is currently a drum channel and the MIDI channel
which is currently an instrument channel. If you select MIDI channel
10 (which is a drum channel by default), the key combo box will
be filled with drum instruments.
Set Note On events
Further you have to specify the key/drum itself.
In our example, we wanted to fill our selection with kick drums
on every beat. We suppose that our selection has a width of 8
measures, so we enter the result of 8 x 4 = 32 events in the edit
field "number of events". The notelength of drum instruments
is not important an can be set to sixteen (because drum instruments
are not stopped by reaching the notelength - rather by reaching
the wave form / sample length). But if you fill a selection with
normal instrument Note On events, please watch out that the single
notes will not reach into each other.
The volume values of the Note On events will be set by MIDI
Locator to 100. You can later change these values to the needed
fade in or out curve in MIDI Locator's volume (databyte
2 of Note On events) function.
Go on reading there after you have now
basically created the Note On events.
