Working with waves in the MIDI roll view
The most up to date help, with links to other music related topics, is on RecordingBlogs.com.
In the MIDI roll view, wave files have only one purpose – to serve
as an accompaniment to MIDI files. When creating MIDI files, it may be useful to have a
wave file and listen to the two together, to make sure the MIDI file has the right tempo,
melody, and dynamics. Wave files in the MIDI roll view cannot be recorded, edited, or mixed.
Wave files in the MIDI roll view are displayed in the wave track
under the MIDI track.
Short descriptions of what you can do with wave files in the MIDI roll view are provided
below. Since working with these is similar to working with waves in the Orinj
multitrack session, see
Working with session tracks and
Working with session waves and MIDI files for
additional information.
