Chapter 9: Recording Tracks 128

Velocity

Type in a velocity to control the volume that the note is played at. Change the

velocity to zero to stop a note from being played. Note that you can globally

change the volume of a melody track, from the melody pull down menu

Time

Represents the total time in ticks for the current event from the beginning of the

song. At 120 ppq resolution, a quarter note equals 120 ticks and a bar of 4/4

time is 480 ticks. This number includes the lead-in bar of 480 ticks.

Bar #, Beat Number, Tick

The Bar, Beat, and Tick show the time that the note is played. Ticks are the

smallest unit, equal to 1/120

of a quarter note.

Duration

This is the length of time that the note is played. 120 ticks of duration = 1 beat

(quarter note).

Previous/Next Event

Use these arrow controls to move through the MIDI track one note at a time.

Insert Before/After

This allows you to insert an event before or after the currently displayed event.

Note: You can get better results by using the Notation window to edit notes instead of this

window. To do this, you open the Notation window and mouse click on a note while holding

down the option key in Staff Roll or Editable notation mode.

Entering Notes Manually in the Notation Window

You can enter melody notes directly to the track in the Notation window in

either the Editable Notation Mode or the Staff Roll Mode.

Enter the Editable Notation mode from the Standard Notation screen

with a single mouse click on the [N] button.

In the Editable Notation mode you can enter, move, and edit notes and rests

using standard mouse techniques – point and click, drag and drop, and

Option+Click to open the Note Edit dialog box.

Recording with the Wizard Feature

This is a very helpful feature if you don’t have a MIDI keyboard but you want to

record with a “live” feel. Use the Wizard to record notes from the computer’s

QWERTY keyboard for a track that’s more natural than step time.

Here’s how it works:

Enable the Wizard checkbox.

2. Press [r] key to record.
