00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:04,110
-: Now we're going to explore editing and writing

2
00:00:04,110 --> 00:00:06,450
with MIDI notes in WavTool.

3
00:00:06,450 --> 00:00:09,540
So, let's go ahead and add an instrument here.

4
00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:14,380
We're going to add a melody with a sunpluck.

5
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:17,430
(electronic music)

6
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:19,793
Let's go ahead and compose with AI.

7
00:00:19,793 --> 00:00:21,630
(electronic music)

8
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:23,583
And actually, let's move this here.

9
00:00:23,583 --> 00:00:25,860
(electronic music)

10
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:27,744
Let's regenerate here.

11
00:00:27,744 --> 00:00:30,661
(electronic music)

12
00:00:43,056 --> 00:00:45,840
And let's say that we didn't quite get the part right.

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,840
So, if you click right here, you can expand this menu

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,165
and let's go ahead and edit some of these MIDI notes.

15
00:00:51,165 --> 00:00:53,760
(electronic music)

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,170
Let's go ahead and delete that note

17
00:00:55,170 --> 00:00:56,616
and let's extend this one.

18
00:00:56,616 --> 00:01:00,270
(electronic music)

19
00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:01,694
Let's delete this one.

20
00:01:01,694 --> 00:01:04,140
(electronic music)

21
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:05,245
Delete this.

22
00:01:05,245 --> 00:01:08,162
(electronic music)

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,680
And actually let's just drag this note way longer.

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,336
So, if you click near the edge of the note, you can drag it.

25
00:01:16,336 --> 00:01:19,253
(electronic music)

26
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:21,990
If you want to add a MIDI note,

27
00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:23,550
you can click in an empty space

28
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:26,040
and it will create a note that is the same length

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,085
as the last note that you just created.

30
00:01:28,085 --> 00:01:31,002
(electronic music)

31
00:01:31,976 --> 00:01:32,809
Let's delete that one.

32
00:01:32,809 --> 00:01:35,726
(electronic music)

33
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:45,600
Try to recreate this initial pattern here,

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,609
starting over here.

35
00:01:46,609 --> 00:01:49,526
(electronic music)

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,850
And there you have it.

37
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:06,210
Let's actually make sure this is starting on the right beat.

38
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:09,840
Here it is, and let's drag this to the end here

39
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,880
so that we have a good four bar loop.

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,460
We want our loops to match with the other clips.

41
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:16,110
There we go, now we can click

42
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:18,540
and maybe delete these last two notes.

43
00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:21,450
So, if you want to add a new note, you simply click in here

44
00:02:21,450 --> 00:02:22,530
and a note will appear.

45
00:02:22,530 --> 00:02:24,450
Remember that note will always be the size

46
00:02:24,450 --> 00:02:25,770
of the last note you created.

47
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:28,290
If you want to drag a note, you drag the end

48
00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:30,540
or forward or back to change the length,

49
00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:31,373
and that's about it.

50
00:02:31,373 --> 00:02:32,760
Editing MIDI notes is pretty simple.

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,800
You can change the velocity down here

52
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,630
and you can humanize the clip

53
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:38,640
to add velocity and timing variations.

54
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:41,040
As with most of WavTools features,

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,080
if you're familiar with music production,

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,940
these will be pretty obvious

57
00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:46,560
and very intuitive to use.

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,960
So, the MIDI editor I think works great

59
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,260
and it's very simple and very straightforward.
