MIDI Basics
Welcome to lesson four of our Logic Pro for ipad course where we'll delve into the exciting world of Midi Midi or musical instrument. Digital interface is a powerful tool for creating and shaping musical ideas. So let's now explore its key aspects. Midi is the language that allows electronic musical instruments including virtual instruments in logic Pro to communicate with each other. It consists of messages that convey information about notes, dynamics and other musical elements. Midi is the backbone of electronic music production, creating and editing media regions in the arrangement window to edit a Midi region. Tap on it to select it. Once selected, you can move the entire region by dragon G left or right on the timeline, adjust the duration of the mire by dragging its edges. This changes the length of the musical phrase. The trim tool must be selected for this to work. Though we can also show the Midi editor for more detailed note editing, we can do this by double tapping on the M...
idi region and then go to edit and show an editor. We'll look at this in more depth in a moment though and we can drag the piano roll up or down to view more or less of it on the screen for. Now, let's drag this all the way down to hide the piano roll. And now let's have a look at looping. Looping allows you to repeat a specific region on the track. You can do this by using the loop tool and dragging. How far you want the region to loop to use a copy and paste function, double tap a region and tap copy, then tap a blank space and slap paste to play head. The duplication tool is just to the right of the copy tool. This allows you to duplicate regions by tapping and dragging them. So you can use these tools for a quicker workflow when arranging your regions work flow of the piano roll to enter the piano roll, double tap on the midi region. In the arrangement window, go to edit and select show an editor. You can also press the pencil at the bottom of the arrangement window. This opens a grid where you can visualize and edit individual Midi notes. The piano roll grid represents time horizontally and pitch vertically. Each grid point has a potential placement for a midi note. The piano roll allows precise control over note parameters, tap a note to select it then manipulates properties. However, we'll look at the piano role in more detail later on. In this course, virtual instruments at the heart of Midi production allowing you to play a vast array of sounds using your ipad. After selecting a midi track, you can select your virtual instrument from a browser under instrument patches. Use the filter to narrow down your choices or help you explore new sounds. OK? So let's go back to the browser's main window by pressing this back arrow here. So there's a lot of different sounds and patches available to us in the browser. But now let's close the browser by pressing the browser button in the bottom left and continue looking at software instruments. You can change the parameters of your software instrument from the mixer or the track view. For example, we can select this drum synth instrument in the mixer and then select show details to see the different parameters for this instrument. Let's now drag the mixer out of the way. So we have more space so we can see the parameters for the drum synth. The parameters here will depend on which software instrument you have chosen. For example, if we choose an electronic kick sound, we get options like tone and saturation. Again, let's drag this down. So it's out of the way. And let's have a look at another example. Now let's select the other midi track which is an electric piano sound. We'll get options that you would expect to see on an electric piano like EQ and drive.
