Lesson 6 Advanced Course
Sound: WAVE
Using the Normalize function
• Whenever you feel the sound is small, use the Normalize function.
This raises the volume to the highest level without distortion.
Sound: MIDI
Change the tempo!
• Changing the tempo within the same piece of music will produce
varied impressions, such as slow and calm or restless.
Advanced techniques
This course introduces you to advanced techniques for creating MIDI
data.
The lessons will make use of the two following examples.
• Example 1: Shorten the melody and put in accompaniment in
between.
Shorten the main melody and add accompaniment that will make
the music more complex. As an alternative to shortening the
melody, you can increase the velocity and shorten the
accompaniment, thereby allowing the main melody to be more
clearly heard. AIBO can only emit one tone at a time, so the sound
may be more music-like if you spread the chords out within the
accompaniment (broken chords).
