Event Type - Note
Overview
Note Events create MIDI note on and note off pairs. With a Note Event, you do not set the MIDI note number or value directly. Instead, it is automatically and continually kept up-to-date as the Part which owns the Event is moved on-screen.
How MIDI note number is determined
As described in Events, Event values are determined by the position of the owning Part within the Composition. With a Note Event, the position is used as a percentage index into the set of available notes, as determined by the Pitch Quantizer, rather than an index of the entire note range.
For example, let's say your Pitch Quantizer is set to:
- Root - C
- Scale - Major
- Range - C4 <-> C6
This produces a set of 15 possible notes. Now let's say your Part is positioned exactly in the middle of the Composer area. The note number assigned would then be the note that is in the exact middle of the set, or C5 in this case.
Parameters
Parameter: Channel
Sets the output channel for this Event.
Parameter: Note
Sets the axis that determine's the Event's note value. This cannot be the same as the velocity axis. Upon changing, the velocity axis will auto-update.
Parameter: Velocity
Sets the axis that determines the Event's velocity. As above, changing this will also change the note axis automatically.
Parameter: Length
Sets a sustain length for the Event. If the length value is longer than the owning Part's Pattern loop length, it will be automatically adjusted internally.
