birdzai Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 How do I have my MIDI shown in "blocks" rather than a score like say in Cubase or Pro Tools' default display? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashermusic Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 How do I have my MIDI shown in "blocks" rather than a score like say in Cubase or Pro Tools' default display? Many thanks Open the Matrix Editor unless you mean on the Arrange page where you will see little notes unless you zoom small until the notes disappear.

birdzai Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Yeah, I want blocks on the arrange window. otherwise its impossible for me to tell how far I should stretch my MIDI file to match the length of an audio file I have. Is this not possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not possible? Sure you can. You should be seeing midi regions as blocks without notes if zoomed in tight and blocks with little notes inside if zoomed out but either way you can grab the midi regions and drag them out/in if you grab them by the lower right hand corner.

birdzai Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hmm, I think we are talking about different things. Yes, the MIDI region is a "block". But it is a block with staff and notes on a staff. What I want is a MIDI region "block" with blocks inside... lines of midi on a piano roll, not staff. Like Cubase or Pro Tools displays on default. Basically I want the arrange window view of my midi region to look similar to the Matrix editor Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 What I want is a MIDI region "block" with blocks inside... lines of midi on a piano roll, not staff. Like Cubase or Pro Tools displays on default. ..or GarageBand. Quite useful as it shows note durations. Unfortunately not available in Logic.

But why not simply have a screenset with the Arrange page and the Matrix editor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillet Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 But why not simply have a screenset with the Arrange page and the Matrix editor? It is not as easy to see the notes in context with them separated. You can just look at the bars yes but you get a little disconnected especially when you try to look at multiple MIDI regions. Cubase doesn't do this by default it is a toggle button on each MIDI track and didn't add that feature until Cubase 3 which was a very welcome addition. Now if only they will add their tempo map to the project window (arrange for Logic). P.S. Hi Jay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdzai Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Gotcha.. Yikes! I dunno how I am going to stretch this MIDI file to match the audio file, I guess just trial and error forever :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the MIDI file and the audio file to be the same length, then look at their start and end points, do the math, then change it. Done However, I can't help thinking that perhaps what you need is to beatmap the audio file, then quantize your MIDI to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
