EDITING INSTRUMENTS
Select the Instrument in Slot 1. Let’s look at some of the
available MIDI mixing parameters (note that due to the width of
the MIDI mixer, it’s shown here split in half to avoid reducing the
size too much).
Each slot has a strip of editable parameters. Going from left to
right, these are:
A The name of the Instrument loaded in the slot.
B A meter that shows velocity. Hit a few keys on your keyboard,
and you’ll see the corresponding amount of velocity.
C Four buttons — (M)ute, (S)olo, (Q)uickEdit editor, and FX. Mute
turns off the slot’s audio, Solo turns off all slots that aren’t
soloed, QuickEdit brings up massive numbers of ways to
tweak the slot’s sound (as we’ll discover soon), and FX allows
editing effects for Instruments using convolution.
D Controls MIDI volume, from 0 to 127 (default is 90). Drag the
slider left to lower volume, right to raise volume. Note that
you can also adjust volume using the DSP-based mixer, as
described later.
E Tune changes the
tuning from -100 cents to +100 cents.
F Pan places the position of the Instrument in the stereo fi eld
(anywhere between left and right).
G The drop-down menu here chooses from one of the available
outputs.
