The second tool will let you add notes of the selected length directly by clicking. Tools lets you switch between two different edit modes the first is the "classic" edition mode where notes are added by "drawing them" (using mouse drag-and-drop see more below). It is useful to make it bigger if, for instance, you deal with very short notes. Zoom lets you choose how big the notes will appear on the tracks. Tip : You can also select where the song start by Ctrl-Clinking or Alt-Clicking in the measure bar For instance, if you make a long song and are composing measure 100, you may not want to start playing at measure 1 every time you change a note and want to hear how it sounds - you can just change your song to begin at, say, measure 95. Start lets you choose the measure where the song begins. Time Sig lets you choose the time (measure) signature (either globally, if you use only one throughout the song, or for the currently selected one, if you use multiple in advanced measure management mode). If you run out space in the default 12 measures, just add a few more by clicking the arrows or typing a new number and pressing enter if necessary. Tempo lets you set the tempo (speed) of the song in beats per minutes.ĭuration lets you choose the total amount of measures of your song. The first 2 elements are the play and stop buttons, that allow you to play the song. When this is enabled, you will see a new widget appear on the track header (see below). This menu allows you to choose whether you want to manually be able to specify channels or whether you prefer that Aria hides this concept. In the midi specs, tracks are a group of notes, whereas channels are where the tracks actually play their notes. Settings > Channel management Midi considers tracks and channels as two seperate entities. Here you can decide how often you want it to play these previews. Settings > Play during edits When you edit a song, Aria offers you to play the notes you’re manipulating, without you ever pressing play. Settings > Follow Playback If checked, when you hit play, the scroll will scroll as the song moves on so that the currently played part is always visible on screen. Volume to use for new notes, (2) background (displays notes from other tracks, currently works only in Piano editor).
Track > Properties Lets you set the current track's properties, including (1) default It can be used in other cases too - you get the picture. Edit > Remove Overlapping Notes If you copied a hundred notes, pasted them right on top of their original ones, and accidentally unselected them before moving them - all notes now have doubles! Fortunately you can just select those notes and use this feature. If you end with notes that seem to have unusual lengths/locations, select the notes, select an appropriate grid size (see below in track docs) and select this option. if you want to select all notes from measures 65 to 78) Edit > Snap notes to grid Aria uses a "magnetic grid" to ensure that notes have a precise location and duration, corresponding to those of music theory. For instance, if you want to select all G notes, you can just select one G notes, choose this option in the menu, check "select all notes that have the same pitch", click OK, and it’s done! You can also use this feature to select all notes within a range of measures (i.e. Most of these criteria are based on a currently selected note.
Edit > Paste at cursor Pastes the selected notes near the cursor (using this item from the menu has little use of course, you need to use the keyboard shortcut : CMD/CTRL + SHIFT + V). File > Song Info Midi files allow their author to specify information like title and copyright.
You can then just click on the newly appeard tab to switch to this song. It will appear as a new tab in the bar that shows currently open sequences (a la Firefox tabs). (Obvious menu items have been left out) File > New Creates a new song.
