Normal: This recording mode corresponds to that of the audio recording, i.e. for each
recording process a new MIDI object is created over the existing object. The old
object remains intact.
Overdub: The data is recorded into an already existing object; available and newly
recorded MIDI data is mixed together. If you record over several objects, then these
are combined into a single new object.
Multi-overdub: The data is recorded into an already existing object; available and
newly recorded MIDI data are mixed together, but existing objects remain the same.
This mode makes sense for recording MIDI controller changes over several objects
sequentially.
Replace: The data is recorded to an existing object, and any MIDI data is overwritten.
Several existing objects are combined into a single object.
After selecting the mode, make sure that the recording is activated for the track. The
record button, which is set to standby, changes to violet to signal that this MIDI track
should record MIDI data.
Now you can start the MIDI recording by pressing "R". After recording, you will be
asked whether you want to keep or delete the recording. You also have the chance to
change the record mode for the recorded MIDI data. After confirming this with "OK",
your newly recorded material will appear as a "MIDI take" in the VIP.
Importing MIDI data
Existing MIDI files can be imported into a Samplitude Music Studio 2013 project as
objects. However, you can also load a MIDI file as a separate object the same way as
a wave, HDP, or RAP project.
Menu: File/Open/MIDI (*.MID) …
Shortcut: Shift + M
Mouse: Drag & drop from file browser or Windows Explorer.
If you import MIDI files, please note that only type 0 or 1 MIDI data is compatible with
the import function. Each file should end with *.MID so that it can be recognized as a
valid format.
MIDI files are generally imported like a wave file, irrespective of whether they are
imported in a VIP window or a MIDI project window. For a VIP you can specify at
which position you want to insert the new MIDI object. Set the play cursor at this
position, select a range in the desired track or drag the file from the internal explorer
or Windows Explorer directly into the track position via drag & drop.
Hint: The following dialog is automatically displayed if a VIP is already open as an
active window. If you want to open the MIDI file in a separate MIDI project window
without inserting the content into a VIP, please ensure that no VIP project window is
