Remove overlap in recorded notes [SOLVED]

[Fran Carpenter]

Dear All

 

Could someone tell me how to remove note overlap. I have recorded a violin part, and want it legato but without note overlap, which is how it has recorded at present.

 

Appreciate quick response!

 

Thanks

I do this in Score>Functions>Note Events

 

see Pic

 

Hope this helps.

[Fran Carpenter]

Thank you!

Ah, but is that in score only? I mean when first recording it in a project.

[Frances O]

Do you mean edit while recording? ie have the program decide where to put a note-off once the next note-on event is triggered, even though you are still holding the previous note and have not yet triggered a note-off?

 

I don't know any easy method for that - some environment programming from an environment guru might provide a solution.

Thanks, Frances, for your reply again. When it is recorded, I am then editing it a bit in piano roll mode. I wondered if there was any easy way of getting rid of notes overlapping, where I have held the keyboard key down too long and it has overlapped the next note. Just wondered if there was an easy way of getting rid of overlaps, rather than having to shorten each one manually?

It's the same in Piano Roll Window as Score Window

If you have a lot of notes to process and there are no chords -

In Piano Roll I would do Control A (select all notes) then Piano Roll>Functions>Note Events>Note Overlap Correction (Selected / Selected).

This will process all notes at the same time.

There's also ctrl-L (Note Force Legato (selected/selected)). This removes overlaps, and gaps.

That's great, thanks.

Or you could just make the instrument monophonic. If you're using EXS24 there's a button for legato

If you're using EXS24 there's a button for legato

But that would affect how the envelope is triggered, and ultimately how the phrase sounds.
