The Parameters
Volume
MIDI contains a number of different "Controllers", that is messages for continu-
ously changing aspects of a sound or an instrument. One of the most important
Controllers is MIDI Volume. In the Volume field in the Inspector, you can specify a
volume value (0 – 127) for a MIDI or Drum Track or for the selected Part(s). This
value will be sent out at the start point of the Track/Part and then changes the over-
all volume for the sound.
● MIDI Volume (MIDI Controller 7) is a function totally separate from MIDI
note messages and their velocity values. Not all MIDI Instruments can receive
MIDI Volume, check the instruments operation manual or MIDI Implementa-
tion Chart.
Transpose
Changing this value will transpose the notes from a MIDI or Group Track. Remem-
ber that it is only the output that is transposed, not the actual recorded material.
Transposing a Group Part means transposing all notes from all the Parts within the
Group.
You can specify a transpose value between –127 and +127 semitones, but remem-
ber that the total range of MIDI note numbers is 0–127. Furthermore, not all instru-
ments can play back notes over the whole range. Therefore, extreme transpositions
can give rather strange and unwanted results.
Drum Parts (or Drum Tracks) have no Transpose parameter.
• You may enter a transpose value directly from the computer keyboard,
by typing [Shift]-[O] and entering a value.
