Free Song Midi

[Amalia Antill]

Onmy current system (till I can replace it with VL), I can define if a song is played as soon as I call it, or if it is waiting for a Start action (for songs beginning with an acoustic intro, typically).

All the other songs are entirely sung above backing tracks that should start instantly (or close). I prefer to activate and play these songs with a single action, not a Select action followed by a Start Action.

The HAPAX concept seems to be based on patterns running in parallel on each track, and sections or songs seem to be nothing more than starting information for patterns. This is probably why there is currently no way to set a song position pointer within a pattern. *

I added 97 songs to playlist 1 from folder 1. I then added 40 songs to playlist 2 from folder 2. Song selection worked fine a couple of weeks ago. I could select any of the songs from the tablet and they would be selected on the BB just fine.

I know you can set a button to go to the song list and another to scroll and another to open but can you go to the song list, locate, and open in one button utilizing down and up. Effectively you could set an entire page to song titles if this would be possible.

Would need to prevent two songs from having the same PC. There be dragons here when you have insertable media like an SD card. Could be a warning upon SD card insertion, some arbitrary resolution rule to prefer SD over internal, and a constraint when changing any PC.

Songs should have a number in front of the name so they can be called with midi messages. It is essential as a midi function to be able to call a song with a midi message.

@DavidPackouz, is this planned in the midi implementation?

When the PC is preceded by a bank select CC32, like in may other equipment including the Beatbuddy, there will be no conflict between internal memory songs and SD card songs. The first could be bank 0 en the second bank 1.

I did not see any command covering song selection in the new MIDI implementation firmware. Can you at least be so kind as to inform us where in your planning did you fit implementation of this command?

Hey there, this is technically med-long-term, because it will most likely be in a release after Auto quantize is implemented, that is when we are planning to release an update with more MIDI commands. That being said, there has been a lot of interest in this command so we may reconsider that timeline.

However, because of the fluid nature of SD card usage, a system may not be so simple to implement, along with an adequate UX. Currently, we are more focused on standalone capabilities like Locking tracks and Auto Quantize, as well as a simple hands-free enhancement. Not to mention finishing up the current in progress release! We understand you and other users really want this feature, but we can only do so much at once.

Could not agree more with that. I hope to see this basic functionnality to be added in a upcoming release (soon). My intend is to use the aero in live situation along with the beatbuddy and having to bent down to manually select the song on the aero is a non sense. l am using setlist maker to select the songs on my beatbuddy and would like to do the same with the Aero.

Got to join the chorus here, I currently use the infinity looper which is so limited in its UX and would love to upgrade to the Aeros but I use Midi PC extensively for live selection of my loops. Please prioritize this as without it using the Aeros live and in the studio would drive me loopy (sorry)

I'll give you more information, I think I got the case when this happens. The midi device I have mapped is a Launchpad X, I did all the steps to configure it, creating a new midi keyboard and learning every button. If I start a new song and add, for example a couple of assignments like this:

If I close S1 and start a new song it's ok, my mappings are still there, but if I open an old song that doesn't have this mappings, it gets overwritten somehow. After that if I close and open S1 again and start a new song I get this:

@basemalattar can you elaborate on the steps you took to completely wipe the midi config? I am thinking this might be the only thing to try for me but if there's any lessons learned you can share, I'd appreciate it!

MIDI or "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" is a powerful digital communications protocol that ushered in the age of electronic music. Even though it was first released in 1984, it's use is still prevalent in modern computing. Apple has built CoreMIDI into iOS, making the iPad and iPhone great tools for musicians on-stage. In addition, MIDI is now being used to communicate between music apps on the device, as well as external devices.

Once you have a MIDI device connected, you can map MIDI signals to OnSong actions. This can be used to scroll the chord chart, navigate your set, or trigger backing tracks. Any action that can be performed in OnSong can be mapped to MIDI in the MIDI Triggers screen.

*Note: MIDI devices may send signals differently depending on their intended use. For instance, the iRig Blueboard device becomes a latching pedal with control changes. OnSong has advanced MIDI Settings to handle some of these differences.

OnSong can also be used to send MIDI commands to other MIDI devices when songs are viewed or when sections are selected. You can configure these commands by tapping and holding the title of the song or a section of your song to use the Section Mapping Menu.

We typically think of MIDI as having to do with wires that connect instruments together. MIDI could also use wireless networking like WiFi or Bluetooth. But MIDI can also operate directly between apps with Virtual MIDI.

There's a lot PreSonus could learn from how pro users actually use software like Live or MainStage to do live processing and control. Lighting and external device control is no small part of how people use Live to orchestrate their shows, and a lot of the same features, not to mention configurability, are what make MainStage such a powerful system for computer-based instrumentation.

PreSonus needs to listen to users interested in actually using the software to do real shows or play real gigs with real gear situations, in order to start getting the new Show page into shape. Right now it's woefully limited.

I absolutely agree ... and i'd say even more ... :-) show page should fully implement MIDI TRACKS ... So that You shouldn't convert every track to "audio stems" ... Since my aim is to keep separate tracks in show page (Bass, drum, pads, etc), when i use a plugin for some of them, it will be useful to keep trat track in MIDI format ... the same is for External MIDI (Light controls, external instruments) ... We are already allowed to "split" every song in various "sections" in show page (intro, verses, choruses, etc) if we want (and that's what i want to do) ... If We could include MIDI track and using a "MIDI NOTE MESSAGE" to "launch" the different sections, we would immediately get a very good alternative to ABleton Live ... "CLip launching" can be sostituted by Impact, driving it with an external keyboard or controller ... S1 Audio Quality is far superior to Ableton SO it would be great if We all could move Our Ableton Live Set to S1 ...

Ok, so I am a solo artist. The Show function, with the instant patch changes for example, is such an absolute game changer. The literal LAST step preventing me from forgetting about Ableton is the lack of the ability to actually RECORD the Show session. Currently, I have managed to manipulate an 8-bar loop with the help of a foot switch pedal to arm each individual track as I go, and then putting stop markers after each loop. Having the ability to record a loop in performance mode, and have it playback, would be the last step in making me a full Presonus convert. I know I am not a big artist, but I believe with this feature alone, I can truly utilize this software to make the most of my music.

Then an idea just coming up: Are there like global presets which I can set to appear on every bank throughout the whole profile? So I could have the same two presets available wherever I am on the third display (buttons C & F)?

: Are there like global presets which I can set to appear on every bank throughout the whole profile? So I could have the same two presets available wherever I am on the third display (buttons C & F)?

I gave up loading song banks in the required order per gig. Now I just have them all stored A-Z and use Bank Change Mode to browse up and down. That function DOES show you the bank name: bottom left and right buttons go up/down, middle button selects

Hello everyone. Ever since I've started using my Mac as music source, I've been enjoying my music listening a lot more. One thing that bothers me though is that I have to switch the Audio Midi settings every time I switch between 24/96 songs and 16/44.

on a PC, but it amounts to the same thing anyway. I now leave Quicktime set to 24/96. My sound card will go higher but, firstly, I don't possess anything higher than 24/96 and, secondly, I was not impressed with the sound when I went that high. Between SRC to 24/96 and no SRC I cannot reliably tell the difference, so I may as well save myself some hassle when it comes to playing the high res stuff.

The vast majority of what I have is sampled at 44.1kHz and has a bit depth of 16, so the principle is the same. I don't understand why people need to toggle back and forth, unless they have multiple DACs with different sampling frequencies. I really don't think you can hurt anything by leaving it at the highest settings compatible with your DAC. (I've asked the same question here, and have gotten that answer).

Human hearing only goes up to about 20kHz, and most people over 18 can't hear that high a frequency. So anything sampled at 44kHz should faithfully reproduce an audible sound wave (Shannon/Nyqvist theory). So I still can't figure out how people can claim to hear the difference between 48kHz and 96kHz, let alone higher sampling frequencies. So I guess the real question is really whether any harm can come from leaving the setting at (say) 44.1 kHz. I set it as high as it will go, just because I figure I have nothing to lose, but it is probably overkill.
