Insert a silence step in MIDI-In mode

[lorenzolamasse]

Hi there,

 

Pretty self explanatory but still here is what I'm trying to achieve: I'm using the MIDI in feature quite a lot when creating hooks, leads, as I'm a quite poor pianist (and work with 16th at 140bpm lol), so I usually loop a section and add notes using the "midi in" feature in the piano roll. Works quite well, but I can't find a way to bypass a step when editing, and have not been able to find anywhere a shortcut for that, apart from writing a note and manually deleting it afterward. In the step editor it's easy as the space bar is the way but I'm using MIDI keyboard here, so it's a different approach.

 

Has anyone found a way for this ? Should I try and switch to the step editor instead ?

 

Thanks !

Hi

 

A press on the sustain pedal should do this for you

Don't have a pedal lol.

would pretty much use a key command for that.

Hi

 

Another way for you to try:

 

With MIDI Step IN on, open the Step Input Keyboard

 

Use the Left/right arrow keys to advance or backup a step.

Space bar.

Thanks for your answers, in step input keyboard (alt-cmd-k), it's true I can use arrows and space bar.

 

Not when using musical typing editor (cmd-k) with Midi in activated that I use to do to input notes with my MIDI controller, in that case the playhead moves on at each note and I have no control on its position whatsoever.

 

Not in front of my stuff now, I need to check if I can use both computer keyboard AND midi controller in step input mode, which would solve my issue.

You're right, you need to open the step input keyboard, however you can have that keyboard open and still use your MIDI Controller keyboard at the same time.
