Apply an effect on some specific notes?

Post by mrksksks » Fri Jun 18, 2010 9:15 am

Hey,

tell me if it's possible :

I'd like to apply an effect (let's take a delay) not on all notes but just on a C note for ex. How I can do that?


thanks,


J.p

This should be possible with key zones in instrument racks. Search the manual for "key zones" and it should tell you how to do this.

Yes, I thought it was possible with that. Im not very confortable with instrument racks, but I guess that's the moment to learn more abt it...thanks H'!

I had miss something, but the only way I found so far with instruments rack is to duplicate my vst (+ my effect) and select the keys....
that means I have my original signal on my first chaun and my delay on the other chain...
but I don't want to duplicate my chain. I want everything on the same chain... :roll:

Anyone?

I don't think that there is a work around to duplicating the chains. But for what it's worth, idle chains won't take up processing power. This seem like a fun idea though.

I think the best way to do it would be to use a pre fader return track with delay on it. Then whenever the C plays just automate the send volume up and automate the track volume down.

Cheers,

It's easy to do with NI Maschine. It does Machinedrum-style step parameter locks.
