MUSIC PRODUCTION GUIDE

February 2011

The alternative

In recent years, the method of music production by

using nished audio les - and not solely Drum Loops

- gained in popularity. Examples include programs

such as Sequel (Steinberg) or Garage Band. (Apple).

Suppose you want to produce in this way, but with

self-generated audio les. Or you want to complete

the already existing library with missing components.

The Performance arpeggios of the MOTIF family with

their vast variety of combinations can be an almost

inexhaustible source. Depending on the complexity

and your requirements you may not have to import the

MIDI events into Cubase rst, which does save some

time.

I already described the tools for arranging arpeggio

patterns, that go beyond the „arpeggio remote control“

with the help of SysEx commands. In addition to the

starting, stopping, and changing of the ARP variations,

you can mute individual parts at any time, control the

volume of each part and of course play on the key-

board or specically set notes in one of the Cubase

editors to achieve automated results that go far beyond

the possibilities of recording your normal playing on

the keyboard. Again an example: You want to pre-

produce one-bar patterns of drum/bass grooves for

different scales and in different variations. Start with

a project that meets the state developed in part 1, if

necessary with the re-import of the appropriate MIDI

les for your instrument. If you want to follow the

sample, select the Performance „Deep House 2“. Now

create a one-bar MIDI part on the „Record“ track,

set the correct sync connection and set the tempo in

Cubase to about 130 bpm. Now place the parts „Arp

On“, „Arp 1-5“ (select one of those), and „Arp Off“

onto the „Arp-On“ track before respective at the end

of one-bar „Record“ part. It should look somehow like

this:

Open your Record part (here called „A“) in the key

editor and enter a bass note with this data at the zero

position of your part:

The SysEx command „Arp-Off“ should be positioned

on the beat „n.4.4.0“ (the „n“ is a placeholder for the

position of your Record part A, eg 1.4.4.0).

Now a variation of the part is to be created. Lasso-

select all the four parts and use the Duplicate function

from the Edit menu to make a copy of each part.

Add another note into the copy of the Record part A

with the following data:

The result:

Start the playback from the rst position of your parts

(„Arp On“). Both variants run fully automated for one

bar. Now create new copies and transpose the notes to

appropriate keys or create additional variants by mani-

pulating the notes. If you have created all your desired

versions, record them as audio data. The recording

methods described above remain the same.

But for this example there are a few little tips which

make the recording faster and more pleasant.
