    Although I'm a keyboard player, I still find great use for step input. My workflow for this is: My qwerty numerical keyboard key commands are used for quantise values.1=whole note, 2=half note etc...Then, left hand for note input, right hand for changing note values. Also, by using the qwerty arrow keys (right and left), I can also input rests. This can mean working quickly on the fly. I think it's a great tool and has many uses. Also, Dom thanks for all your videos and tips...They are terrific and there is always something new for me to pick up...👍👍👍

    I knew that it existed, but i did not use it until now. This demo convinced me to try it, especially changing pitch while keeping rythm looks very useful for extremely fast parts. Just play the rythm first and then add the correct pitches afterwards... this might save me some time;-)

  • @rbingraham
    @rbingraham 2 роки тому +3

    Yep, I've used step input for many years, going back to synth workstations in the mid to late 90s. There weren't as sophisticated as Cubase is now of course but for the meager keyboard players it's a must use tool. As for how I use it, I use it a lot to figure out what chords to play and how I want to voice them, by turning step input on, hitting my next chord, turning it off and then figuring out my next couple of chords and turning step input on and playing them in, rinse and repeat. I don't always do it that way but it's something I do often. I guess mainly I use step input to get started because even with a click playing, my timing is awful. So I'll step input a couple of tracks to be the foundation for the piece and then play along with those and quantize the tracks I input by hand. That way there is some tracks the feel a bit more human and some are locked in to the grid.

    Yes really good news. Because I had a problem with the Midi Inserts and you Dom save the time! But in the opposite way. Normally I don't use the function for MIDI-Inserts. But sometime in the past I did something in the Midi Editor and I activate the Midi Insert but I forgot to remember me and at this time I had this problem when I marked a midi step in the editor and after that I hit the keyboard controller it will change the Midi note and I was sooo angry because I don't want it. Now I found the key to fix the problem! ;-) Thanks a lot.

  • @earlsfield
    @earlsfield 2 роки тому +2

    I am using this feature forever, cant believe there are people overlooking it... if you have any midi controller, you should exploit power of midi input in every Cubase/Nuendo editor. Typically, I was using this long before chord tracks etc for fixing off key notes that would slip in during the recording, and also, for messing up with drum elements - any of the different drums spread across the piano roll. Midi input is super awesome feature, turning piano roll into step sequencer kinda.

    I use the pencil tool in the midi and drum editors. Then copy and paste the notes to more bars. Then I tweak the vertical velocity indicators to "humanise" as much as possible. But it is a long drawn process.

    I use it to create actual custom Arps that I then drag into the "Arpache SX " sequence" tab and, viola, you have a custom playable Arpeggiator created from the step sequence.
    You have to right click in the Arpache SX window and choose "Always On Top" so that it doesn't hide before you drag in the midi part into it!

  • @nicolasjchaanine
    @nicolasjchaanine 2 роки тому

    One hand on the controller for pitch, and one hand on the LR arrow keys for rhythm (If you know the right beat count of your note). This especially helps me when I'm transcribing Music sheet to MIDI.

  • @neilscott9281
    @neilscott9281 2 роки тому

    It allows you to punch things in in machine gun rapid fire means. Used to punch in drum programming in these means, start off robotic & if so desired go back & humanise. It's very much the methodology of the hardware sequencers used from programming, it is tactile, so assists pragmatically, in a sense of work happening.

    Hi Dom, I LOOOOVE your videos. Is there a way to go from a sequence of 8th notes to 16th notes and BOOM (to use your language) to compress them closer to one another? Now when I am composing on the wrote I draw them with the step editor when I have no keyboard but when I need them to play faster notes and I have drawn them as 4th or 8th notes I need to drag each one of them close to the previous note, is there a cool "hack" to do this quickly please?

    I knew about the step midi input but I rarely use it as I prefer live recording as I can feel the timing
    However I do use the midi input to harmonize very rhythmic melodic line in homogenous harmony. I found it to be really affective as I usualdy can't play a melodic big-band like passage with all the harmonies live. Then using explode to assign it to different horns is really affective.

    Thanks Dom. I just lost a song track due to a Windows error without a backup. Is there a Cubase feature to print out track settings to show instruments that are used? Trying to recreate a track song without knowing the instruments that I used is difficult. If I had a printed list of the instruments, I could recreate the song faster.
