MIDI Effects
Pro Audio provides the ability to use plug-in MIDI effects. Using plug-in
effects is similar to using the MIDI processing commands described
earlier in the chapter. The overall procedure is as follows:
¥ Select the MIDI data to be affected.
¥ Choose the effect you want from the Edit-MIDI Effects menu or
from the pop-up menuÕs MIDI Effects menu.
¥ Set effect parameters (or select a preset if youÕve made one for this
purpose).
¥ Click Audition to preview the music with the effect applied.
¥ Click OK to apply the effect to the selected MIDI data.
If you're not happy with the result, choose Edit-Undo before doing any
additional work.
MIDI effects can be applied to whole or partial clips. For example, you
can apply an echo to just one note.
MIDI effects can also be applied to MIDI tracks in real time (during
playback) in the Console view. Unlike any of the processing described so
far, using effects in real time is nondestructive. This means that the
MIDI data itself is not modiÞed. See ÒMixing and Effects PatchingÓ on
page 9-1 for more information on real-time effects.
Presets
The MIDI effects dialog boxes support the use of presets. Presets are a
way to store dialog box settings so that you can apply the exact same
Note:
Ofßine effects may cause your MIDI events to grow in size. For
example, when you apply echo, the clip may need to grow to
accommodate the tail end of the echo.
