Rydizzle Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hello everyone, I have a question about programming midi with regard to pitch. I am trying to achieve a "free, non fixed" type of pitch programming where I can slide one note into the other, similar to a theremin. Using the the glide function on the synth itself doesn't provide the effect I need because the timing and use of "slides" I want are more random. I basically want to program midi in a way that mimics the sound of playing a synthesizer with a ribbon controller. I'm having some luck using the midi draw with pitch bend in the piano roll but it's rather tedious. Is there a better way? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiman2 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I agree - drawing in automation by hand can be tedious. Have you tried recording the Pitch Bend live with a controller of some kind? I sometimes use my phone with an OSC/MIDI app. such as TouchOSC for this kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 MIDI really is note based, so if you're playing a sound, you're always playing a certain note (as in, for example "B2"), with or without an amount of detune or pitch bend etc.... so basically MIDI really is a note based musical performance language and you can't get away from that I'm afraid.
