Sequencing question.

[skywalk]

Hello everyone.
I'm new at this forum.

I read Beat Kaufmann's tutorial.
It was very helpful but I have a question.
In this tutorial, he loaded each sample to another midi channel for one instrument and he assign each note to another midi channel.
So do I have to create all of track for one instrument?
or assign each note to each channel in like event list?
Or... should I put patch change command in one track?

I'm using DP for sequencer.
Please share your sequncing technique with me.
Thank you

Multiple Tracks for one instrument each containing a different articulation.
If your changing articulations often I find it easier and faster to cut/paste the notes into the different tracks in staff view (Sonar) then inserting bank/ patch or channel changes - though you could do this as well.

I use the technique Beat suggests in another tutorial (or thread, I can't remember). This is for Cubase so you may have to check for your sequencer, but Cubase allows you to set tracks to MIDI Channel 'Any', meaning that you can then select notes in the key editor (or any other) and change the MIDI channel for only those notes. This means you only need one track per instrument - for up to 16 articulations.

Dear Fuzzface,

If you're working on Gigastudio 3.0, the new stacking feature allows you to use keyswitches to switch patches that are stacked on the same channel, which can stop the number of tracks in your sequencer getting out of hand. It differs from the "_all" patches in that you can have totally unrelated patches stacked on the same channel. Doesn't help you with stacking legato and non-legato patches on the same channel - you still have to maintain separate channels for these.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Nick.
