Create an ascending pitch pattern from notes of one pitch
1 Choose the following settings in the MIDI Transform window:
•
Mode pop-up menu: Apply operations to selected events.
•
Selection Conditions area:
•
Set Status to Note.
•
Set Position to Inside, then define the range. (Cresc. only works if the Inside Position
selection condition is chosen, as crescendos need start and end points.)
•
Operations area: Set Pitch to Cresc., then enter a value of D0 and G6 in the fields below.
2 Click Select and Operate.
Experiment with the Double Speed preset in the Step Editor
This example assumes that a 4/4 kick, snare, hi-hat, and other percussion sounds region is being
viewed in the Step Editor.
1 Click the Name column of one of the drum sounds.
All note events of a particular pitch in the region are selected.
2 Change the Length field to a value that does not match the Position field, or vice versa.
3 Repeat the steps with other drum or percussion sounds.
This can lead to interesting polyrhythms you may not have thought of.
The example illustrates the use of the same Transform operation multiple times on the same
region. You can also combine different transform presets to achieve an end result, by using them
one after the other.
