Subject:Softh synth & Fx Posted by: twilightlove Date:7/10/2004 1:19:05 PM Hi, I tried to lay reverb on just one loop in the horisontal field, but when I click on the sqaure to the left and get the effect, it is on the whole stripe, and not just one loop! How can I get on just on little loop/selected area. I also don´t know how to use the soft synth that is inplugged in the ACID software. When I click on the tangents of the soft synth, I can only click on at the time. Do I need an external synth that I connect to the MIDI input on my computer? Kindly regards, Robin

As for soft synths, you can add as many as you want. Then you add a MIDI track, assign the soft synth to it, and use the piano roll editor to enter the MIDI notes in using your mouse. I would strongly recommend you use an external MIDI keyboard controller. It doesn’t need to have sound. It just needs to have MIDI out. M-Audio makes a complete line of them that plug right into your USB port. I just picked up an M-Audio Radium 49 on eBay for $68. So look around for a deal, they’re out there. ~jr

Hi,

I tried to lay reverb on just one loop in the horisontal field, but when I click on the sqaure to the left and get the effect, it is on the whole stripe, and not just one loop! How can I get on just on little loop/selected area.

I also don´t know how to use the soft synth that is inplugged in the ACID software. When I click on the tangents of the soft synth, I can only click on at the time. Do I need an external synth that I connect to the MIDI input on my computer?

Kindly regards,
