MIDI in Samplitude Music Studio 2013 199
To manually assign notes to a system, click
to move the selected notes one line on a stave higher. Click
to move them one line lower. This results in the note being connected to the line
(independent of the MIDI channel or pitch). This manually set allocation can be
undone by clicking on
"Automatic staff allocation"
When transcribing a MIDI piano recording, splitting the notes into a two-line piano
system using the split point is recommended. The points where individual notes are
placed incorrectly in a line can be corrected easily by assigning the notes manually
with a click to the desired stave.
The automatic allocation of the score to a specific line is flexible. Either the MIDI
channel of the note event, the pitch, or even a combination of the two can make up
the criteria. This permits simpler and faster distribution of MIDI notes in the score
line.
For example, it's often the case with some standard MIDI files that a particular piano
piece's lower system notes have a different MIDI channel than that of the notes of the
upper stave. Let's assume the notes for the right hand are on channel 1 and the notes
for the left hand are on channel 2. In this case you should set up two staves for the
stave in the note stave settings. The easiest way to do this is with the "Piano" preset.
For the first staff, set the MIDI channel allocation to "Ch. 1" in the "Channel" selection
box and "Ch. 2" for the second staff. Deactivate allocation according to pitch by
setting the split point to 0 (see MIDI score settings dialog).
The rules for allocation are as follows:
If the (preset) option "Automatic stave allocation" is set for the note, then the staves
will be played through until the MIDI channel corresponds with it and the pitch is over
or equal to the split point.
Note: It may happen that some notes are not shown at all as they are not yet
allocated to a stave.
