General clip changes.

1. It can be changed to “Scale”. Click on “Sense Canvi” and the list of “Scales” in English notation is displayed (C: Do, D: Re, E: Mi, F: Fa, G: Sol, A: La, B: Si … ib: flat) …. and a new one can selected

When you do “play Estudi” and the theme will sound on the selected scale.

– We can move the “Scale”. All notes on the selected Scale scroll increase by one or more tones (from +1 to +6) or decrease by one or more tones (from -1 to -6). Clicking on the field of a position next to the Scale displays the options from -6 to +6)

Now we do “play Estudi” and the theme will sound with the Scale Shifted.

2. You can change the BPMs increase or decrease 10 by 10 (+10 and -10 keys). Or edit the field in green by entering a number + “enter”.

Now when doing “play studio” it will sound faster or slower depending on the BPM entered.

Instrument-level changes.

1. Change of instrument
Click on the “Instruments” option and the instruments will be displayed in a window on the left. You can now drag an instrument over the name of the instrument you want to change. All the desired changes can be made except the “battery”.

Once changed by pressing the letter “i” next to the name, the instrument returns to the original version. Clicking on the “I” at the top of the “i” ‘s column returns all instruments to those of the original version.

Clicking “play Estudi” will sound the theme with the modified instruments.

2. Remove instruments.
In the “E” column. A “1” means active instrument, A “0” deleted instrument.

Clicking on the “E” changes all the columns at once if they are in “1” they all go to “0” and if they are to “0” they go to “1”.

Clicking “Play Studio” sounds only the active instruments (1).

If a single instrument is active you can determine if it is part of the melody or if they play chords (harmony) or if it is the battery. And if it is considered that we can use it later in the Fusion phase, we save it with the corresponding action: Save Mel, Save Har, Save Bat.

By clicking “play Sel V.O.” only active but unchanged instruments sound, as they are in Original Version.

3. Modify Volume and Balance
– For each instrument you can increase or decrease the volume by moving the indicator by the horizontal bar.

Pressing the button: “Volumen” the volumes return to the starting position.

– For each instrument you can change the balance (the sound comes more from one side than the other) by moving the indicator by the horizontal bar

Pressing the button: “Balance” the signals return to the starting position.

4. Modify Scale and scale offset

As in the general case but now at the level of each instrument the scale and the displacement of the scale can be modified.

Pressing the “Scale” button undoes all changes.

5. Change of octaves.

If you click on +1 the notes of the instrument increase one octave.
If you click on -1 the notes of the instrument decrease by one octave.
Clicking on the +1 of the description bar increases all instruments by one octave
Clicking on the -1 of the description bar decreases by one octave all instruments

6. Change of bass / treble notes

The low notes turn into highs and the highs into highs.
The transformation can be modulated by a factor of -10 to +10.

7. Modify the sequence of notes.

So that they follow an inverted series. The notes sound in inverted sequence.
The investment can be modulated according to the number of notes to be invested through a factor of 1 to 60. In case of 1 all the notes are reversed.

Projects.
We understand as a project all the information we have on the screen. It can be stored before leaving to continue later.

When we are first analyzing a midi file, a “Projecte” button appears below the header menu and next “Nou projecte”.

Clicking on the “Projecte” button opens a window for editing text, entering all the information that may be considered appropriate. You can click “Projecte” at any time and update the information associated with the project.

The “Save Project” Button in the header menu creates or updates a project.

If “Nou Projecte” appears in the project name, clicking on the “Save diskette” button will create a project in the “/musicaV7/ projEstudi” folder with the name: PE. nom-del-midi-of-study.N.prj N is a number from 0 to X. If a new project is created and an earlier project with the same name-del-midi-de-estudi already exists, it is incremented version N in 1.

On the “Inici” screen, instead of dragging a midi file to “Fitxer Midi Estudi” you can drag a project: Click on “explorer”, expand the “proEstudi” folder and drag the project to “Fitxer Midi Estudi”.
