In Chapters 2, 3, and 4, I will guide the readers through basic, intermediate, and advanced sequencing techniques targeted to improve the overall quality of their productions These chapters will help the reader to reach a professional level in terms of MIDI orchestration and programming using the leading and most advanced digital audio sequencers available on the market Chapter 5 is dedicated to MIDI... synthesizers can store many more than 128 sounds, nowadays programs are organized into banks, where each bank stores a maximum of 128 patches In order to change a patch through MIDI messages it is, therefore, necessary to combine a bank change message and a program change message While the latter is part of the MIDI standard specification, the former changes depending on the brand and model of MIDI device... industry, they can quickly learn the same tools with which they are already familiar within a certain sequencer for all the other applications, giving them an advantage over the competition College educators and students can use this manual not only as an introduction to intermediate MIDI and sequencing classes, but also for more advanced MIDI orchestration and production courses The summaries and the exercise... crucial to be comfortable with all of them, not only to expand one’s opportunities, but also to be able to take advantage of specific features that are available only in certain applications This approach will help you to enhance considerably your palette and tools when it comes to sequencing and music production Each technique explained in this book is presented first on a general level and then further... but also adds several crucial new topics such as working with video and software synthesizers The main reason that inspired me to write this book was the incredible potential concealed in the modern production tools and in the existing software applications that are available to contemporary composers and producers Unfortunately, most of the time, these tools are used in very mechanical and non-musical... linear and non-linear machines, to mention a few The subjects are approached from both a technical and a creative point of view in order to provide the modern composer/producer with tools and inside views on how to treat MIDI and DAWs as the orchestra and musicians of the twenty-first century This new and updated edition not only fills in techniques and tools for the new revisions of the software,... explained within it and a series of exercises oriented to provide practical applications and to develop the notions learned These two sections are particularly helpful for both the professional and the student They provide the former with a quick reference for several techniques and ideas, while the latter can take advantage of the concise layout to familiarize themselves with the concepts just learned . class="bi x0 y0 w0 h0" alt="" Creative Sequencing Techniques for Music Production A Practical Guide to Pro Tools, Logic, Digital Performer, and Cubase To my father.
