Info

Toolbar Contains menu items to open this Guide, display the Credits and Exit Hit'n'Mix. Hit’n’Mix keeps notes and noise separate. Here you can choose which to view, edit and play back. See The Notes View and The Skeleton View. The overall style of an entire Rip can be changed from this menu. Hit'n'Mix does this by shifting the pitches of notes in the currently displayed Rip to give it a different feeling (by changing its musical scale). For example, Far East makes all notes fall on the black notes of the keyboard, giving it a far eastern sound. Of course, if a song is already mainly on black notes, the change will not be so noticeable and you might like to try a different style. Click the menu dial to access a number of effects that can be applied to selected notes: Harmony Notes are played back with a copy 2 or 3 semitones higher (depending on the automatically 6
calculated key signature) to create a harmony. Quantize Pitch At every point within a note, the pitch is moved to the nearest semitone ‐ an effect used in modern music. Correct Pitch Shifts a whole note to the nearest semitone without changing its shape. Flatten Pitch Makes the whole note one pitch. Vibrato Makes the note move quickly up and down in pitch in the way often used by singers, violinists and guitarists. You can add more or less vibrato by clicking the up/down arrows. Note that this cannot be used to remove vibrato that existed in the original recording ‐ use Flatten Pitch or Draw Pitch (described below) instead. Slide Pitch Slides the note up or down in pitch. Click the arrows to specify direction and the steepness of the slide. Volume Makes a note louder or quieter (use the arrows). Stereo Position Move a note left or right between speakers (stereo speakers required). Amazingly this is possible even with monophonic tracks (like many pre‐1960 recordings). Keyboard equivalent: 1 (extreme left) to 9 (extreme right) on the main keyboard sets the position for the whole note (5 is centre). Once an effect has been applied, it can be applied again to other selected notes by clicking the section of the button immediately to the left of the menu dial. 7
