Samplitude 11.5 Producer provides multiple systems, e.g. for piano notation,
or entire scores which can possibly be comprised of up to 16 individual
systems.
To manually assign notes to a system, click
to move the selected notes one line on a stave higher. Click
to move them one line lower. This results in the note being connected to the
line (independent of the MIDI channel or pitch). This manually set allocation can
be undone by clicking on
"Automatic staff allocation"
When transcribing a MIDI piano recording, splitting the notes into a two-line
piano system using the split point is recommended. The points where
individual notes are placed incorrectly in a line can be corrected easily by
assigning the notes manually with a click to the desired stave.
The automatic allocation of the score to a specific line is flexible. Either the
MIDI channel of the note event, the pitch, or even a combination of the two
can make up the criteria. This permits simpler and faster distribution of MIDI
notes in the score line.
For example, it's often the case with some standard MIDI files that a particular
piano piece's lower system notes have a different MIDI channel than that of the
notes of the upper stave. Let's assume the notes for the right hand are on
channel 1 and the notes for the left hand are on channel 2. In this case you
should set up two staves for the stave in the note stave settings. The easiest
way to do this is with the "Piano" preset. For the first staff, set the MIDI
channel allocation to "Ch. 1" in the "Channel" selection box and "Ch. 2" for the
second staff. Deactivate allocation according to pitch by setting the split point
to 0 (see MIDI score settings dialog).
The rules for allocation are as follows:
If the (preset) option "Automatic stave allocation" is set for the note, then the
staves will be played through until the MIDI channel corresponds with it and
the pitch is over or equal to the split point.
