audio-design multitrackstudio Manuale Utente
(Chorus) positions will be used. The V positions provide Vibrato. Vibrato is applied to all manuals and
pedals.
Playing instrument 2 or 3 with one MIDI keyboard
MultitrackStudio's Keyboard Splitter can be used to play instrument 2 or 3 using only one MIDI keyboard.
Follow these guidelines to set up the Keyboard Splitter:
l
Make sure the Left Hand and Right Hand section's Channel values equal the Channel Indicator in the
bottom-right corner of the Wheel Organ window.
l
The Split Note can be set at C5 for a start.
l
The Left Hand Transpose Oct can be set at -3, the Right Hand Tranpose Oct can be set at 2.
The Split Note and Transpose Oct controls can be adjusted to reach different parts of the manuals.
Playing instrument 2 or 3 with two MIDI keyboards
MultitrackStudio Pro Plus supports multiple MIDI In devices. Instrument 2 or 3 can be played using two
MIDI keyboards if the MIDI keyboards have an octave-shift function. Using 5-octave keyboards, the lower
keyboards will be shifted 3 octaves down, and the upper keyboard will be shifted 3 octaves up.
MIDI Implementation
The Wheel Organ responds to Volume (#7), Expression (#11) and Sustain (#64) controllers. Pitch Bend is
also supported. Note that the original tonewheel organ didn't have Sustain or Pitch Bend features.
also supported. Note that the original tonewheel organ didn't have Sustain or Pitch Bend features.
The upper manual drawbars respond to #12 to #20, the lower manual drawbars respond to #21 to #29, the
pedal drawbars respond to #30 and #31.
Percussion can be controlled with #70 (volume), #71 (decay) and #72 (harmonic).
Vibrato can be controlled with #76.
The Rotor effect's rotation speed can be controlled with the Modulation (#1) controller.
8.5 VSTi Plugins
A VSTi (VST Instrument ) is a VST Plugin that can convert MIDI events to audio. You can select a VSTi by
clicking the instrument slot's down arrow. The VSTi plugins appear in the list's 'VSTi and DXi Plugins'
section.
A VST or VSTi plugin will initially appear in both Effect and Instrument selectors. The first time it is loaded
MultitrackStudio determines whether it's an effect and/or an instrument. From then on it will appear in the
appropriate selector only.
VST Instruments look like VST Plugins. They have an additional Channel Selector. Some VSTi plugins
respond to all MIDI channels the same way, in this case the channel setting doesn't matter unless you're
recording using the Keyboard Splitter or multiple keyboards. Other plugins, especially the ones providing
many different sounds, do always require the correct channel to be specified.
VST Instruments respond to all the streams that are in the track's MIDI file. However, in most cases it will
be easier to use multiple tracks (each using an instance of the VSTi) instead.
If the plugin has more than two outputs an Output button will be available. On clicking this button the
Output Mixer window will appear. This mixer mixes the plugin's outputs down to stereo.
Tip (Pro Plus edition only): The outputs of a multiple output VSTi plugin can be routed to tracks using
sidechaining (see Effect Sidechain Routing). You can use this if you'd rather mix the outputs in the main
window rather than the VSTi Output Mixer window. This is especially useful for drum plugins.
Using more memory on 64 bit Windows
64 bit versions of Windows support over 4 GB of memory. MultitrackStudio, being a 32 bit program, can use
only 2 GB. That's usually no problem at all because it's next to impossible for MultitrackStudio to require
that much memory. There's one exception: sample-based VSTi plugins. Some of them can use hundreds of
that much memory. There's one exception: sample-based VSTi plugins. Some of them can use hundreds of
megabytes for just one instrument. If you use several of those you'll want to use all the memory your
computer can provide.
