The Random per Note Source
Random per note is a useful source that generates a rand-
om value on each note event on the Part. It is very useful
for 'humanizing' sounds as it allows you to apply a slight,
random per-note detuning and other variations per note as
would be typical with traditional musical instruments.
g
Random per Note is useful for making tracks sound
less mechanical.
MIDI Note Number Source
This source is a value that represents the MIDI note play-
ed. Use it to modulate parameters over the range of the
keyboard. One particularly useful application is to route it
to Pan. With the right settings and configuration of the Pan
control itself, it allows you to spread an instrument out
over the stereo field depending on the note played. Consi-
der a stereo miked grand piano - on certain recordings it is
possible, owing to the size of the instrument, to hear the
notes move across the stereo field depending on the note
played. This routing allows you to emulate that. Other uses
would include reducing decay and release times for higher
notes on a piano and reducing the level of higher notes to
balance out resonant effects. The source can also be used
to achieve unusual key tunings (including fixing pitch
across the keyboard), although microtuning is the best
way to achieve accurate key tuning variations.
Generic MIDI Controller Sources
In the modulation sources, you'll see generic MIDI control-
ler sources marked as 'MIDI controller #n'. These are
sources available for you to use as you wish. Most DAWs
allow you to 'paint' in controllers and many master key-
boards allow you to assign MIDI controllers to its front
panel controls. Use these sources to take advantage of this.
