Default Re: Note Duration Question

Hi, Walt, Ralph, Sherry:

I recall that the first "swing" feature on a midi sequencer happened when Roger Linn tried to add quantization to one of his drum machines. The processor was so slow that it chopped off some notes and lengthened others. Instant "swing".

Of course, the best way to capture human feel in a midi recording is to play it live, but my fingers don't always manage it. Multi-tracking helps a lot and Composer's step-time record mode is a useful tool for "real" performance feel. I find that the variations in volume of notes are as important as the variations in length for human feel, and step-time recording captures those variations.

In the end, even the best real-time performance can often require note-by-note editing, though.

Nature of the beast.

David
