Hi,


I'm using Cubase LE, and I have a MIDI part that I'd like to double an octave lower. Is there an easy way to tell the program to do this?

Thanks,

JD
 
Or you can duplicate the midi track and set the new track an octave lower in the track inspector.

just copy and paste it in the piano scroll screen.

This option seems less processor-intensive, as I won't have two separate MIDI tracks trying to talk to the same VSTi. Thanks for the comeback, but could you be more specific with how to do this? When I selected the little bars that represent notes played in the scroll screen and copied them, the paste function didn't drop them anywhere that I could find.

Thanks,

JD

Highlight the piece, till the notes go black. Copy, and paste; the default setting whill paste them wherever the transport bar is....set the big black bar to where you want the passage and paste. Should work.
 
Highlight the notes that you want to double, and Alt+Drag them down an octave.

By the way- as you're alt-dragging, hit the Ctrl button too- this will lock the notes back into the original position in the timeline.

PS- if adding a midi track would be too much for your computer to handle, then it's definitely time to upgrade!!!

PSS- The Space Shuttle still uses a 386.
 
Thank you both again. Yes, it's definitely time for an upgrade too. I'm using a PIII/256mb RAM for my DAW and plan to upgrade to an Athlon 2500/1GB (our current home office machine) next month sometime. I'd love to get something even newer than that, but the "new" computer's gotta be in the office b/c of the missus.

This type of thing is covered in great detail in the manual. Do you bother to take the time to read it?

Actually, I had read the manual for other assorted info, but was frustrated with its lack of detail. Predicting additional frustration with this particular query, I decided to come here first. Does this really bother you sufficiently to pester someone who posted a question on the correct subtopic board with correct grammar and syntax? It would seem so.

Thanks for stickin' up for me TelePaul.

Hey! That's pretty cool!

The space shuttle still uses a 386 cuz it uses less power, plus I think they just use it for a program that controls the boom arm. If you think that's amazing the Deep Space program is still running on ancient tape based mainfraims with a whopping 128k (yep that's KILOBYTES) of memory.
