What to do next depends on whether you are using live or recorded
audio and whether you are using real-time or recorded MIDI. We will
assume for the purposes of this manual that you are using recorded
audio, and play the MIDI in real-time.
Make sure the MIDI track is selected and start playback.
5. Now play a few notes on your MIDI keyboard.
As you can hear, the audio track material is affected by what you play on your MIDI key-
board.
The following MIDI Gate parameters are available:
Parameter Description
Attack This is used for determining how long it should take for the Gate to open
after receiving a signal that triggers it.
Hold Regulates how long the Gate remains open after a Note On or Note Off
message (see Hold Mode below).
Release This determines how long it takes for the Gate to close (in addition to the
value set with the Hold parameter).
Note To
Attack
The value you specify here determines to which extent the velocity values
of the MIDI notes should affect the Attack. The higher the value, the more
the Attack time will increase with high note velocities. Negative values
will give shorter Attack times with high velocities. If you do not wish to
use this parameter, set it to the 0 position.
Note To
Release
The value you specify here determines to which extent the velocity values
of the MIDI notes should affect the Release. The higher the value, the
more the Release time will increase. If you do not wish to use this param-
eter, set it to the 0 position.
Velocity To
VCA
This controls to which extent the velocity values of the MIDI notes deter-
mine the output volume. A value of 127 means that the volume is con-
trolled entirely by the velocity values, while a value of 0 means that
velocities will have no effect on the volume.
Hold Mode Use this switch to set the Hold Mode. In Note-On mode, the Gate will
only remain open for the time set with the Hold and Release parameters,
regardless of the length of the MIDI note that triggered the Gate. In Note-
Off mode on the other hand, the Gate will remain open for as long as the
MIDI note plays, and then apply the Hold and Release parameters.
