Re: Question on time and velocity

I guess it was a MIDI processing thingy. Although I dont have a freakin clue what it was.
Thanks for help!

Re: Question on time and velocity

True, misread that part myself. Anyway, what happened here: Lets say the conductor track was set to 80 bpm and I had a simple 16th ostinato. I do my work and as I play back the sequence I realize, that the ostinato plays on 120bpm for one measure and then slows down to 80bpm for another measure. The...

Re: Question on time and velocity

You can change a tempo map and leave the tempo of a MIDI performance unchanged Yep, and that was exactly what I did. But suddenly the tempo of the MIDI notes was changed. The notes themselves had been moved and I didnt to that intentionally. So I asked myself what the heck I did, to "imprint&q...

Question on time and velocity

Hey guys, Ive recently scored a short film. Ive set markers and set a different tempo for each part between the markers. On onrone point I realized, that the whole track was on one point really fast and then slowed down. I thought i made a mistake, because at that point I was indeed messing around w...

Re: MIDI velocity in Seq Window

I'm still trying to figure out why there are no MIDI "containers" like there is for audio (and in Cubase and PT). I'm having a hard time adjusting to one continuous MIDI track. Makes it so much more tedious copying and moving musical ideas around We were just discussing this "contain...

Re: Whats your workflow for sketching ideas?

Im working on orchestral stuff, so there might be about 5 instances of Kontakt loaded with around 10 patches eatch. At least. So if I make myself a serious template theres some stuff to load everytime I open a project, right? So I have to open the template when DP starts up, but not sure what you me...

Re: Whats your workflow for sketching ideas?

You can just put them in your template. You don't have to actually use them in every project.
But I would have to load them every time I open a new project, dont I?
And it looks like something closer to what you are asking is coming in V9.
From where do you get that kind of information?

Re: Whats your workflow for sketching ideas?

Very interesting. I find Track View excellent for moving blocks of MIDI data around. I often fine-tune in Event Editor. Actually I gave the Track Overview a serious shot yesterday. It works for my purpose, but I dont really get the dynamic phrasing of those blocks. When recording, MIDI gets phrased ...

Whats your workflow for sketching ideas?

Hey guys, as some might have already realized Im relatively new to DP. It offers quite a different workflow to me, as Im used to an object based system (coming from Studio One). The title already states the question. How is your workflow? Do you write things down on paper, sitting in front of your p...

Re: Are there MIDI "events" in DP?

Thanks again for your help, there are lot of sugestions and I have to check them carefully, to make sure not to overlook something. Yet feature films to Grammy nominated works are written without it. How do they do it? LOL...  Im totaly aware of that. I dont claim DP a bad product, Im just realizin...

Re: Are there MIDI "events" in DP?

Ah, thx for helping.

Didnt want to confuse.

Objects/Regions/Parts might be the better term then. Unfortunately Im super used to this kind of behavior. I'm not quite sure if I can adopt to that. Actually I'm quite confused of how one can work without that?!

Thx again guys!

Re: Are there MIDI "events" in DP?

I obviously dindt got my point across. I didnt mean the MIDI as single notes. When you record audio, you have afterwards a colored "block" containing the waveform. In other DAWs the same stays true for MIDI. You have a "block" with the MIDI notes in it. Not so in DP. Thats my poi...

Are there MIDI "events" in DP?

Hello, Im coming from Studio One and therefore Im used to MIDI events. When I record something, then I create a MIDI event with MIDI data in it. Cant get my head around that in DP. In Sequence view there are only the single notes. In Tracks view there are only those"phrasing blocks" which ...
