I've been using Cubase (yes, it's a registered version) exclusively for direct recording guitars and creating drum tracks etc and have spent very little time on midi, so this may be a very basic question.... or not.
I'm writing a composition at the moment in midi using MOTU Symphonic and EastWest Symphonic Orchestra (heavy duty packages that use real samples triggered by midi). Say I'm writing a part for a violin that has an up and down stroke choppy feel to it. I write the part on one track but then everything on that track is either up stroke or all down stroke... Do I really have to go to the bother of creating another part, copying and pasting the melody in, then deleting all of the notes and changing the channel for upstroke to compliment the other which would then be down strokes???
It sounds like far too much work, how can it be done more economically? I probably haven’t described what I want to do very well, hope you can see what I mean. Any help would be appreciated!
It would be so much easier if you could write a melody in midi and use a color code to signify different sample banks (eg, up/down stroke, vibrato, level of attack etc). Or can this allready be done? I'm crap at midi and the manual is no help, so if you know how to do this and can explain it in basic terms, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
