q. midi clip 1/32 grid limitation

Post by ayanami » Sat Oct 09, 2004 6:24 pm

is there a way to get more resolution into the midi clip grid than 1/32 notes?

im looking to do the fast repeast/low grain sounding effects on particular note hits (think idm-esque kick *bzzzz*, snare *bzzzz*, on the attack and decay)

ive found that setting warp markers (and absurdly stretching them) around the notes in an audio clip will produce a 'hack' version of what im looking for, but i guess im looking for more control on the fly than to embed it into a clip that makes it permanent.

anyone else run into this? workarounds?

yeah I love to use 512th notes and stuff and was worried at first that I couldn't in live, but all you need to do is zoom in further.

Once you get a bit more zoomed in simply use cmd+1 (ctrl+1 on pc) and you can get your grid much smaller than 32nd notes.

Just keep zooming.

Zoom right in and use cmd/1/2 to change grid size. You can go down to 1/16384 if need be 8O
