This solves the problem of identifying notes by pitch, but for step-wise mode it doesn't solve the note duration problem, but this is solved by switching from the MIDI keyboard utility to NOTION 5, where you then can use the computer keyboard to specify the desired note duration. Nevertheless, if you are doing digital music production on the Mac, there is a utility application that maps computer keyboard keys to notes and sends them to various MIDI inputs, which means that it will work as the MIDI Input device for NOTION 5. In theory this might appear to be logical, but for example there are six "C" notes on a grand piano, so how do you specify which one? Pretty straight forward workflow, nothing fancy. abcdefg are all on the left hand, the num pad is in the right hand, S for slur, space to extend the slur, and num-pad 0 for rest. Jamesclark12 wroteWhat I want to do is use my QWERTY keyboard and press A for an A note. This works both for step-wise and real-time modes, but it's important to remember that in step-wise mode you need to specify the duration for the next note, although once you select a note duration it's the note duration for all subsequent notes until you specify a different note duration, and note duration is set by the computer keyboard, not by the MIDI keyboard, so there is no mousing involved. You can use a MIDI keyboard, and it can be a mini-MIDI keyboard like the one shown in my previous post, which can be mounted on a notebook stand for easy access. Jamesclark12 wroteI do have a digital piano I use for rhythmic entry, but I can type faster than the music is played, especially for transcription parts. Īs an example, I like to have a bit of FUN with "Faster" (Techno Squirrels), which is one of the demo songs that came with an earlier version of Reason (Propellerhead Software), and among other enhancements I recorded some real-time MIDI in NOTION and then used it in a ReWire session to play a Studio One synthesizer and two Reason synthesizers, which is virtually mind-boggling in terms of what one can do with NOTION. I showed one set of options, but as you can see there are other options. Setting the various real-time MIDI recording options ( see above) also is very important, and there are several options and strategies. It's also important to understand that there is no one-to-one mapping of MIDI to music notation, so it's more of an art than a science, but there are things you can do to get it more one-to-one, which includes quantizing the MIDI and is something you can do after the fact. Notion 5 midi on Mavericks OSX (PreSonus NOTION Forum) įor real-time MIDI keyboard input, there are a few settings that increase the accuracy, and you can search forum topics for more details on this, where the following link has some useful information. The link to the NOTION 5 User Guide is found on the "Help" menu, and for reference the user guide is installed locally to your computer as part of installing the NOTION 5 application. If your keyboard is a MIDI controller, then everything is explained generally in Chapter 9 of the NOTION 5 User Guide. If your keyboard is a computer keyboard, then everything is explained in Chapters 1, 8, and 9 of the NOTION 5 User Guide, and probably a few more chapters here and there.
