sathorMidi Kicks Ass.
I found a free notation and sequencing agent called Anvil Studio and it's pretty damn neat, once I get that Keyboard for giftmas I'm gonna be learning stuff like a madman...it's so freaking cool...I won't even be limited by the 100 instruments on the keyboard, I can download more soundfonts and upload them onto Anvil so it can have like possibly thousands of instruments synthesized and useable.
And I won't have to write a damn thing when it comes to sheet music, every note you press (and I'm pretty sure the keyboard I'm getting is velocity sensitive, which means it'll record it as a quarter, 32nd, half, whole whatever note depending on how long I hold I'm pretty sure) is recorded onto a staff, right in front of your very eyes as you play. Which also means if I mess up, I can remove notes off of the file, add notes where I want them, merge different midi files to layer sound, and if i forgot something neat I made up out of nowhere, I can look at the notes on the staff and play it again.
This is so fucking awesome.
I'm so glad I decided to go keyboard rather than guitar after all of this time.
And it's making me really like classical music a lot more too. Plus I'm getting tons of midis of old final fantasy songs because they rule (Aye...ff1 music was the bomb...)
!
That is all.

Date: 2003-12-18 01:01 pm (UTC)this is what i've been doing for the last couple years.
it's incredibly fun to make music.
but, you'll soon go tired of the bad sounding sounds, and wanting to move on to 'bigger' stuff like cubase and virtual instruments, and boy, that's when the real problems arise.
