Using MAGIX midi studio generation 6

Edit Functions: For a description of the undo and clip-

board functions (particularly adding events at the Arrange

level), refer to page 95.

Altering Note Lengths: While changing the lengths of

multiple objects you can make all lengths equal by holding

shift ctrl.

Repeating or Copying Events: To repeat selected events

once or several times (with adjustable rounding of the po-

sition of the first repeated event), you can use the function

Functions > Object > Repeat Objects.

Deleting Events: The basic techniques are the same as

for deleting sequences:

– delete deletes all selected events,

– the Eraser also deletes all selected events, and any

events that you click with it (whether previously

selected or not).

Step-time Recording

Step-time recording allows you to enter notes via the key-

board, but not at any defined tempo as in real-time record-

ing. After each note is inserted, the sequencer “steps”

ahead by an increment which is determined by the divi-

sion setting in the Transport window. Every note or chord

you enter automatically receives the note value of the dis-

play format, or a multiple of it. MIDI Step-time input is ac-

tivated in the Score, Event List and Matrix Editors by

pressing the MIDI In button.

Here’s how to do it. Select an existing sequence, or create

one in the Arrange with the Pencil tool. Open one of the

note editors (Score, Event List or Matrix).

– Switch on MIDI In.

– Play and hold a note or chord. You may even hit the

notes for the chord one after another, if you like. The

important thing is that at least one note remain pressed

from the beginning.

– Release the last note. This moves the song position by

one step (the format value on the transport), and you

may enter a new note.

– Rests are entered with the sustain pedal. Each time you

press this, you step through the song by the format

value, without entering a new note.

– You may enter longer notes or chords by pressing the

sustain pedal while holding down the note(s).

You may change the format value on the Transport at any

time, even while you are holding down notes.
