The MIDI
object editors (designed similar to the audio object editor) allow you to easily edit the MIDI object
parameters. You can adjust sound, length, volume, and program changes individually for each MIDI
object.
A Samplitude Music Studio 15 MIDI object may contain up to 16 channels and up to 16 MIDI SMF
tracks (initial track number in imported standard MIDI file). For instance, you can use a single object to
control a multi-output VST instrument via several MIDI channels. Within this object you can edit the
notes in the corresponding MIDI editor in all channels or only in a selected channel. You can use the max
mode of the object editor to get an overview of which MIDI tracks or channels are within one MIDI
object which may have been created from a general MIDI file ("Max" checkbox).
If there is only a single track in the MIDI object, then the settings are only available for this MIDI track.
You can use the MIDI object editor to quantize MIDI data in the MIDI object. Please note that these
settings affect the MIDI object non-destructively in real time so that you don't see the changes in the
MIDI key or drum editor.
Important functions and settings in the MIDI object editor:
Velocity
The velocity fader is comparable to the volume fader in the wave object editor. Normally, each MIDI
note has a velocity value which determines how "hard" the note is played. Changing the velocity value in
the object editor scales the volume of the notes in the MIDI object from its physical maximum or
minimum values (0 to 127), and is therefore included in the actual velocity note values. Changing the
fader is identical to changing the middle handle of the MIDI object in the VIP
track.
Position/Length
This sets the starting position of the MIDI object as well as the length of the object. The settings
correspond to moving the object in the VIP track or changing the length using the length handle at the
bottom left and right of the object.
