Now on our strings I have taken our single MIDI note and I have arranged it just in different
ways to correspond to our scale. If you want you can change up and I'll just show you a
little bit so you can see like here on 2 and the and of 2 I have started a C sharp, I mean
an F sharp note and then I added another note which is E and then I added D and I added
C sharp and last I added a B and I lined them all up in sequence just to give it a different
effect. Now I didn't play any of these notes. I just duplicated and pasted them where I
wanted them to hit and you can do that and get real creative with your instruments by
just doing that like just to give you an example of what it sounds like. These are the ones I played, I didn't play
these, those are all just duplicated and edited in. Now I'm going to show you right here at
this beginning part, I want to change it up, I'll shorten it, Control D, to add another
part and let's add the A and we'll just add the A and then let's add another one, we'll
add the F sharp again. You see how these two kind of overlap and coincide. You can leave
that together for a cool sound. It won't sound bad since it is in the same key or you can
go ahead and shorten it so you can hear that note come in precisely where it wants. I kind
of when I am using strings I use this effect where I kind of overlap, you see where this
one begins I kind of bring it over so it will kind of fade into the next portion and you
can do that it is just a cool effect to do a string just so they kind of blend together
instead of hitting precisely on each one and let's listen to it. So just by shortening this, duplicating and
adding the A note and then dropping it back to the F sharp it gave it a whole different
feel and we didn't even have to play it. That is what is cool about Midi you can go in and
edit and cut and paste and duplicate to create your own music without really knowing how
to play.
