• Right clicking on the object also opens a context menu for you to
select the object editor. Here you can make all important settings for
the corresponding object. For instance, in the object editor, you can
add effects to audio objects and change MIDI object quantization.
Tip: The object editor can be opened permanently; it adjust's its
settings depending on the object which is currently selected.
MIDI recordings
MIDI recordings are created for operating VST instruments or external
synthesizers with the help of a MIDI keyboard. The instruments will
not be recorded as audio data, but rather remote controlled via the
MIDI data format. Every detail of this remote control - i.e. every
button press, every note, every velocity level - can be corrected and
edited retroactively via the MIDI editor. Please read more on this in
the section "Editing MIDI (see page 49)".
What is MIDI?
MIDI files do not contain the actual sounds like audio files, but only
the note control information played by the synthesizer chip of the
sound card. This has several advantages:
1. MIDI files need a lot less memory than wave files.
2. MIDI files can be adapted to any beat (BPM) without affecting the
sound; only the playback tempo is changed.
3. Transposition of MIDI files to other pitches is also easy. When
doing so, a section in a song does not have to be saved in several
different keys. The version in C major is perfectly sufficient. It can
