Midi draw and pitch


Rydizzle

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
