What About MIDI?
Pizzicato is a COMPLETE Midi Sequencer.
You have probably already heard about
MIDI.
This term is inseparable from computer
aided music.
Midi is the universally recognized
language which allows computers, sound cards, software and keyboards/synthesizers to communicate with each
other.
Pizzicato uses the MIDI language to
communicate with the sound card located in your computer; to talk with your keyboard or synth and to instruct
your hosted vsti's, to make them perform your music your way.
You do not need to know the technical knowledge of MIDI to compose or conduct
in Pizzicato.
Pizzicato automatically handles most
MIDI technical issues so that you can concentrate on your music and stay in your musical creativity and
score.
And just so you technology
buffs know: working with MIDI in depth will not disappoint you: you have direct access to all MIDI
parameters in Pizzicato!
And what if you have an external musical
device such as a hardware synthesizer, MIDI keyboard, electronic organ, or software synth?
Again, Pizzicato will meet your needs...
Connect Your MIDI Keyboard To Pizzicato
If you have a MIDI keyboard or soft
synth, or if you plan to buy one, you will be able to connect it to your computer via MIDI and to use it with
Pizzicato.
Once your MIDI keyboard is
connected to Pizzicato, you will be able to use it in two
ways.
The first way is to ask
Pizzicato to play your score directly on your synthesizer. If you have a good quality device, sounds will probably
be better than with the simple sound card in your computer. Greater realism will be
accessible!
The second way is so important
that it deserves a special section...
Record Your Notes Directly From Your MIDI Keyboard!
You can play a melody on your MIDI
keyboard, and Pizzicato will transcribe your performance to notes on the
screen.
Pizzicato gives you a one
measure count in with a metronome and then you play your melody following the
metronome. Pizzicato transcribes it into musical
notation. You can do it at the tempo of your choice, as quick or
slow as needed. So, if it is a very hard section you can slow the metronome down to make playing all the
notes easier and then, for playback, speed it back up to your desired tempo.
Additionally, you can use all the tools
previously explained to correct, adjust or modify your notes and rests, to add nuances and expression
and etc.
If you are not a keyboard player, you
can also use step recording
or the introduction of notes step by
step. It is a fast and precise method. Here is an
example:
A cursor (the MIDI cursor):is blinking
in the measure where you want to record the notes.
Hold a
chord (or a simple note) on your music keyboard and press on the "3" key of the computer keyboard. The chord
appears on the staff, with a rhythmic value of a quarter note (The "3" tells Pizzicato you want a quarter note
length):
Press on "3" again, without holding a
musical keyboard note and the equivalent rest value appears (quarter rest):
Pretty Easy, isn't it?
"I have been a consistent user of Pizzicato since 1996. I think
that this software is very professional and above all it meets the needs of professional
musicians."
Alain Pierre – Guitarist and composer
