0:05hello and welcome to the first tutorial
0:06video of key stage
0:08keystage is a master controller app with
0:10audio event hosting and
0:11mixing capabilities which is optimized
0:14for live performance in this video i'll
0:16go through the course structure of key
0:18stage how you can control hardware and
0:20software synthesizers and audio unit
0:22plugins
0:22in the description of this video you can
0:24access the different parts of this
0:26tutorial video but for new users i
0:28suggest that you watch this video from
0:30beginning to end and from another device
0:32possibly either from your phone or from
0:34your computer
0:35while you have key stage open in front
0:37of you on your ipads
0:39now there are two versions of key stage
0:40key stage light and the full version
0:42now the lite version has a trial mode
0:45which allows you to
0:46basically test all the features of
0:48keystage including all the new in-app
0:50purchases
0:51now here i'm running the full version of
0:53key stage freshly installed
0:55the full version also have a trial mode
0:57which allows you to
0:58test all the in-app purchases so you go
1:00to preferences general settings
1:02in-app purchases and tap try all units
1:05so the trial model full version is
1:07similar to the trial mode of light
1:08version
1:09where you have two hour long sessions
1:12and
1:12all the in-app purchases are unlocked
1:15but you cannot save your songs or load
1:16your songs and you cannot do any
1:18recordings
1:19now in this tutorial i'm gonna use my
1:21note electro 5 keyboard
1:23it's not connected to the ipad yet
1:26but in order to use it with key stage i
1:29need to turn the local control off
1:31now i'm going to connect it to my ipad
1:33using a camera connection kit
1:36and key stage suggests an instrument
1:38presets for north electro 5.
1:40so key stage has a database of
1:41instrument presets for different
1:43hardware and software instruments
1:45so depending on your hardware you may or
1:47may not see this message
1:48but here i'm going to download the
1:50instrument presets for node electra
1:52and i'm gonna assign these instrument
1:55presets to the output port of node
1:57electra
1:57so later in the tutorial i'm gonna
1:59explain what instrument presets are
2:04now the main interface of keystage have
2:06three regions
2:07here the tracks region the parts region
2:09and the sections region
2:11so the interface looks like a standard
2:13daw where the tracks are your
2:15midi connection hubs and the sections
2:17are basically your
2:18timeline their discrete timeline so i'm
2:21going to start
2:22with tracks i'm going to create a track
2:24and to do that i double tap anywhere on
2:26this region
2:26so each track has inputs and outputs so
2:29these are midi inputs and
2:30outputs so first i'm going to choose my
2:32note keyboard as my midi input so
2:34as you can see that there is this light
2:36blinking indicating that i'm
2:38sending midi signals from my note
2:39keyboard so i select that in fact i can
2:41choose multiple
2:42inputs for each track now with version
2:452.0 key stage can host audio units
2:48instrument audio units
2:49so an audio unit is an audio plug-in
2:52integrated into a synthesizer or sampler
2:55app which can directly be
2:56opened in a host like key stage here so
2:59when i tap
3:00output here i can see that there are
3:02these instrument units effect units and
3:04midi processor units so these are audio
3:06units
3:07and these can be unlocked with in-app
3:08purchases and the other units are
3:11native units of key stage so there are
3:13three categories here
3:14and many connections are basically the
3:16midi connections either the hardware
3:17connections or
3:18apps that are running in the background
3:20so i'm going to start with instrument
3:22units
3:22and i'm going to load module pro so as
3:25soon as i load the audio unit it's user
3:27interface shows
3:28and i can basically drag and rescale
3:31this window
3:32in any way i want when i tap this it
3:35just closes
3:36and to reopen the user interface you
3:38simply double tap on the track
3:40so here's using space of model pro
3:45i can basically choose any instrument
3:47directly from this user interface
3:49[Music]
3:54now i'm going to create a track for for
3:56my note electro's
3:58inbuilt sound engine so again as the
4:00input i choose north electro
4:01and now i'm going to go to midi
4:04connections and here is
4:05nord director 5 midi input it's the
4:07input of nodes
4:16and you see that right now only north
4:18electro is activated
4:20i don't hear module pro sound but if i
4:22select hit
4:24this track i can hear the sound of
4:26modern pro right now
4:28so i can switch between back and forth
4:29between these two tracks
4:31so audience can have multiple instances
4:34inside the host app so i can have two
4:36module pro instances
4:37inside key stage so what i'm going to do
4:41i'm gonna copy this track and to do that
4:43i hold this
4:44track with two fingers and drag it down
4:48and it creates another copy of module
4:50pro so i can choose another sound here
4:52so let's choose a sound from one of the
4:55libraries in adwords libraries
4:59[Music]
5:06now some synthesizer and sampler apps do
5:08not support audio units
5:10but keystage can still control them by
5:12midi so i'm going to open a track
5:14and to demonstrate it i'm going to load
5:17synth one by audio kit
5:18so this is a synthesizer which does not
5:20support audio units
5:22right now when i play my keyboard
5:26it directly sends signals to audio kit
5:29sent one
5:30so this is similar to the local control
5:32and should be cut off
5:33every midi signal should go through key
5:35stage so i go to settings
5:38and i can see that the midi channel in
5:40is omni which means that it accepts
5:42midi signals from all channels and my
5:44note keyboard sends mini signals on
5:46channel 1.
5:47so if i set this to midi channel 2 it
5:49doesn't directly get
5:50signals from my north keyboard which is
5:52what i want and you also
5:54should make sure that the audio
5:56background modes of
5:57any synth app that's running in the
5:59background should be on
6:00and also uh turn autosleep off this is
6:04important for live performance so i go
6:06back to key stage and now key say
6:08suggest me an instrument preset for
6:09audiokit synth1 so this is also in the
6:11database
6:12so i'm going to load that as well and
6:14assign it to the
6:15output of synth1 so as always i choose
6:18my node electrode as my inputs
6:20and if i go to output and type midi
6:22connections
6:23i can see the audio can send one now so
6:25i don't hear any sound
6:27the reason is that the output channel
6:29here is assigned as one
6:31but i just changed the input channel of
6:33audio consent one to channel two so i
6:35should also
6:36so these channels should match so i
6:38select channel two
6:40and therefore now i can play audio kit
6:42sent one from key stage
6:44these output channels usually doesn't
6:46matter for most of the audio units
6:48because
6:49most of them really just accept signals
6:51from all channels but there are certain
6:52audio units
6:53which are multi-symbol and which produce
6:55different sounds
6:56through different channels so for
6:58example galileo ii
7:00organ i actually accept signals from
7:04three different channels
7:05so there is the upper organ two for the
7:07lower organ
7:08and for the pedals it receives signals
7:10from channel three so it really matters
7:12what channel you choose
7:14for audio units like a gallery organ
7:19okay let's create a part by double
7:21tapping here now a section is
7:23automatically created
7:24as well now when i play my keyboard
7:28i can only hear nord electro's string
7:30sound
7:32this is because now i'm on section one
7:34and on section one there is only
7:36one part corresponding to north electra
7:39and there are no parts corresponding to
7:40other tracks
7:41so what happens here all the tracks are
7:43connected to the corresponding parts
7:45here
7:46so right now there is only one part
7:47corresponding to node electro what
7:49happens is
7:50when i play my keyboard midi signals
7:52coming from
7:53this track first goes into these parts
7:55and then goes back onto this track and
7:58grow to north electra but there are no
8:00parts corresponding to
8:01these tracks therefore they are just
8:03muted there are no signals going through
8:04that but for example if i create another
8:06part here
8:09now i can hear both north electro and
8:11module pro second distance
8:13and i can move these parts around by
8:15just holding and dragging them
8:17but now i layer audio kit synth and note
8:20electra
8:23by the way if i tap the solo button here
8:27when a part is selected only the
8:31corresponding track will
8:32sound only the corresponding track will
8:34receive midi signals
8:36this is actually really good for editing
8:38that specific part
8:39but when the section is selected the
8:41solo button basically
8:43does not function okay so when i select
8:46the part
8:46a part editor just appears here and
8:48there are two sections here there's
8:50parameters section and translator
8:52section so let's go to the parameters
8:54section
8:55i can see that there is this instrument
8:56tab and there are a bunch of parameters
8:58here
8:59so where do these parameters come from
9:01they actually come from the instrument
9:03preset that was loaded when i
9:05first created my nord electra so
9:07remember there's this database of
9:09instrument presets
9:10and this instrument process basically
9:12contains information about
9:13parameters and as well as the
9:16instruments
9:16when i say instrument i mean a
9:19combination of program change
9:20and bank select messages so i can change
9:23instruments on my north electro by
9:25sending program change messages
9:30but that's not the easy way to do the
9:32better way is to basically choose
9:34instruments from a list and instrument
9:36presets basically contains these
9:38informations these lists of names
9:40instrument names and their corresponding
9:43program change and bank select messages
9:52or i can control the effects for example
9:54effect 4
9:55is the delay
9:58and by the way these effects can be
10:01activated or deactivated by
10:03by just pressing this button here if i
10:06create a part for an audio unit a
10:09similar list of effects
10:10appears here but this time these effects
10:12are actually
10:13imported from the audio unit itself so
10:16there is no need for instrument presets
10:17for audio units
10:18these two parameters however are the
10:21internal parameters of key stage
10:23the unit volume and audio unit plan
10:25these are not these are not important
10:27from
10:27from the audio units and all the units
10:30have a preset system so there is this
10:32preset button here
10:33and also here which accesses the same
10:35manner so i can actually choose
10:37factory presets here
10:43or i can create my own presets in key
10:46stage
10:47so for example if i change some of the
10:49parameters here like
10:51attack time and i tap process button
10:55i have this key stage presets and i save
10:57current presets
10:58so let's say brass
11:01low attack time
11:05so this preset is saved in key stage so
11:11i can access here and directly call that
11:13preset back
11:14[Music]
11:19so let's go into the translators tab
11:21here so there are three additional tabs
11:23under translators
11:24standards custom translators and live
11:27control units i'm going to talk about
11:28these two
11:29later in the tutorial but let's go to
11:31the translator standard translators
11:33so there's the range limiter and pitch
11:34shifter which are the most important
11:37standard translator uh let's create a
11:39split using range limiter so when i tap
11:42range limiter
11:43i have a new window here this is
11:44actually new in key stage 2.0
11:47now the full range is selected right now
11:49and i can simply
11:51play notes to add notes to the range
11:54limiter to the range of this
11:56parts or i can play intervals by
11:58simultaneously playing two notes
12:01to add intervals to my to my range
12:04or i can drag my finger across this
12:07keyboard to add ranges
12:09and similarly i can remove nodes from a
12:11range by
12:12either dragging my finger across the
12:14keyboard or by playing notes
12:17so those plate nodes will be removed or
12:19the intervals
12:21or i can simply mute the whole range or
12:24just set it as full range
12:25so let's choose a range for this audio
12:27synth one
12:29sorry i need to add press add notes and
12:32let's
12:33mute first and choose this range
12:36and for
12:39okay let's change the instrument it's
12:42hard to
12:43demonstrate with this instrument let's
12:44choose let's choose a pads
12:49and for this instrument i'm gonna choose
12:51this range
12:55okay let's delete this part and activate
12:58the section
13:00[Music]
13:03now i just simply make created a simple
13:06splits on my keyboard
13:08and let's do a layering and to do that
13:10i'm just gonna simply copy this parts
13:13onto nord electra and all the
13:15information on the parts
13:16including the range limiter is also
13:18copied so
13:21i haven't so now the solo switch on and
13:24part is selected that's why i'm only
13:26hearing not electro
13:27but if i select the section i hear
13:31both north electro and module per second
13:33instance on my left hand
13:36and audiokit synthon on my right hand so
13:38similar to parameters
13:40the translators can also be activated
13:42and they're activated by
13:44by pressing these buttons here and when
13:46a
13:47translator is deactivated it basically
13:49does not function though all the signals
13:51just bypass that translator
13:52so that's why i see full range here on
13:54this part because the range limit is not
13:56activated but when i activate it
13:58i can see the range directly on the part
14:00here now let's move on to the pitch
14:02shifter
14:03so pitch shifter allows you to add speed
14:05shifts basically and
14:06mostly used for octave shifts and i'm
14:09just going to show you the easier way
14:11to assign pitch shifts i press key
14:13inputs and
14:14with reference to middle c which is c3
14:17i'm going to just press and hold for
14:18example if i press c4
14:21it adds the pitch shift amounts of 12
14:24to the to the pitch shifter so right now
14:26this part is
14:28transposed by one octave but i'm not
14:30restricted to octave so i can
14:32i can even just do some transpositions
14:35like i can
14:35even add multiple pitch shifts
14:41and similarly when i deactivate the
14:43pitch shifter it just
14:44doesn't transpose any notes the velocity
14:48translator basically manipulates the
14:49velocity
14:50so this 0 and 127 means the lower range
14:54and the upper range of
14:55the velocities of nodes so if i take
14:59this all the way up to 120
15:03all the nodes are converted into full
15:05velocity nodes
15:07or i can just choose a low velocity
15:10and if i choose a range here the
15:12incoming velocities are translated
15:14between these two numbers
15:15so i cannot have a velocity lower than
15:1742 and higher than
15:19100 with the setup the mono
15:22simply turns and turns the instrument
15:24into a mono instrument
15:26it's usually useful for lead sounds now
15:28in the pedal controls there is this
15:30autosus
15:30theme which is a very nice feature it
15:32automatically simulates
15:34the sustain pedal when i play my
15:36instrument usually very useful for
15:38chords so when i activate autosustain i
15:40can there is this pedal signal appearing
15:42here
15:43to indicate that there is a pedal
15:44translator applying to this part
15:46and when i play a chord
15:50and release my fingers the sustain pedal
15:52is automatically pressed
15:54until i change the chord press another
15:56chord so i'm not actually using my
15:58sustain pedal right now
16:00everything is automatic system simulated
16:02in key stage
16:08now let's create another section i'm
16:10going to do it by
16:11copying these parts here so this part is
16:14copied
16:15now on section two and only audio could
16:17send one
16:18place on this range so let's change the
16:21instrument
16:22here and let's change the range limiter
16:27so this is full range and i don't want
16:30any instruments on this section
16:31changing sections is very simple you
16:33just tap anywhere
16:35on the on the on the section you can
16:37press the sections on themselves but you
16:39can
16:39also just type anywhere on the vertical
16:41line corresponding to that section so
16:43now i have this
16:46[Music]
16:48splits
16:50and now i have full range of audio kits
16:58i'm going to spend some time on this
17:00whole state business of ordering us
17:02because it's really important
17:03in live performance so i'm just i just
17:06started the new project from blank and
17:08i'm
17:08just going to create an instrument just
17:10choose another instrument
17:12let's choose synthmaster1 and i'm going
17:13to connect my keyboards
17:17i'm going to create a part here let's
17:19reduce the volume a bit
17:21now full states of audio units are
17:23basically snapshots of the
17:26current state of the unit itself
17:28including the instrument
17:29information and all the parameters and
17:32key stage
17:33stores all these initial informations
17:35into parts so for example
17:37this information together with all these
17:39parameters here are stored on this part
17:41and if i create another parts
17:43since i haven't changed anything the
17:44same rules i'm on the same pool state
17:46let's change the instrument here
17:50and let's change some of the parameters
18:02now this full state is stored on part
18:05two
18:06and if i activate part one
18:12so when i switch between section one and
18:15two those full states are called back
18:17from the corresponding part and send it
18:18to the to synthmaster one instrument
18:21but if i deactivate full states here on
18:24the track
18:24this means that the full states are no
18:27longer called back from parts
18:30whatever the last state is it just stays
18:32there
18:38and even if i change the instrument here
18:40now
18:44so the state changes but when i activate
18:47this part
18:48that's that's not called back there
18:50there was another instrument stored on
18:52this part too
18:53but it's not called back anymore
18:57so this is really useful when you don't
18:59need to change the instrument
19:00on on a specific audio unit you simply
19:03just disable full states and it will
19:05just stay the same instruments
19:06throughout the song however you can
19:08still adjust the parameters
19:10and now you realize that these
19:12parameters have
19:14active buttons next to them so if i turn
19:16full states on
19:18they don't have these active buttons
19:20here they are always activated because
19:22just now the structure is based on full
19:24states but when i
19:25deactivate it i can individually change
19:27these parameters
19:28and activate them or deactivate them so
19:31for example
19:34i activate the unit volume here and
19:37choose a
19:37low volume and here
19:40i choose a high volume i suppose i have
19:44another part which i don't activate the
19:45unit volume
19:46so if i'm on this part i'm on low volume
19:53[Music]
19:56volume doesn't change whatever the
19:57volume was in the previous state just
19:59stays the same
20:00so if i move from section one to three
20:04i'm on low volume but if i move from
20:06section two to two
20:09and this just applies to all parameters
20:11all audio unit parameters
20:13so i still have some control over the
20:15instruments like the parameters or
20:17volume
20:18but the full states are not getting
20:20called back however
20:22if i activate full states on the track
20:25i can still control the full state of
20:27individual individual parts
20:29here so for example i am on one
20:32instrument and on section two i don't
20:35want
20:35to change the instrument so let's delete
20:37this part and copy this part here
20:40so both parts i have the same instrument
20:42but when i play
20:44instrument part on section one and
20:46change to section two the sound cuts off
20:48the reason is the full state on this
20:50part gets called back and sent to
20:52scentmaster one so the behavior of audio
20:55units
20:56may change for example synthesizer and
20:58custom sounds
20:59when it receives a full state so to
21:01prevent that i just disable full state
21:03on this part
21:04and when i change from part one to part
21:08two
21:09sound doesn't cut off because the same
21:10instrument no full states are getting
21:12called back
21:14however when i want to change the
21:15instrument here
21:18since this parts full state is not
21:20active
21:22this change will not be stored on this
21:24second part so if i go back to part one
21:26and back to part two it's just the same
21:30instrument on part one because
21:31the full state on part two is not active
21:37seamless audio is one of the most
21:38important requirements in live
21:39performance
21:40you don't want your sound to cut off
21:42when you change your instrument or
21:44change your section so key sage has this
21:46internal structure called note keeper
21:48basically every track has a note keeper
21:50which keeps tracks of all
21:52pressed notes or on press notes for
21:55example if i press a chord here
21:57and change the second section even if
21:59there is no part on
22:00sunriser the sound doesn't cut off the
22:02notes are still playing
22:04until i start lifting my fingers from
22:06the keyboard
22:07so taking into consideration of range
22:08limiters and pitch shifters
22:10the note keeper basically keeps track of
22:12all notes and make sure that there won't
22:14be any
22:15stuck notes or not cutoffs but serious
22:18audio actually mostly depends on the
22:20synthesizer itself
22:22so for example on sunrise if i create
22:25another part here
22:26and change the instrument here
22:31when i change the section when i change
22:33the instrument sunrise
22:34automatically cuts the sound and in fact
22:36this is the case for most of the audio
22:38units
22:39where there are some exceptions for
22:40example audi layer managed to
22:43simulate the seamless audio on its own
22:45even if you change the instruments
22:48so let me choose a factory preset here
22:52and create another part here and choose
22:54another instrument
22:57now when i'm playing this instrument i
22:59go to another section the
23:01sound just keeps playing so audio layer
23:03handles those sounds
23:05and when i press new sound the new notes
23:08the new sound plays
23:09so this layer handles this seamlessly
23:11automatically
23:12but of course this is not the case for
23:14most audio units and
23:16also for hardware instruments so there
23:18are a couple of approaches
23:19for stimulus audio the most basic one is
23:22using two instances of the same audio
23:24unit and
23:24alternate parts between these two audio
23:27units
23:28so for example i have an instrument here
23:30and i go to section two
23:31the second instance just keep playing
23:35so without an audio interruption i can
23:37just switch to the other sound
23:39so suppose i choose another sound here
23:41on on the third part
23:47so this basically guarantees seamless
23:49audio when i change between sections
23:51but at a cost of performance and memory
23:54so creating two instances of every audio
23:58unit costs a lot of memory and cpu power
24:01actually there are some live performance
24:03apps which does this automatically so
24:05when you create an audio unit it creates
24:07another instance automatically
24:08to support the seamless audio but at the
24:11cost of processing power and memory of
24:13course
24:13and you don't need to do that for
24:15certain audio units like audio layer and
24:18there are some other ways to
24:19handle the seamless audio for example
24:22using full stage like in the previous
24:23section
24:27okay let's move on to the effect units
24:29so let's create a track
24:30and i'm gonna choose the effect unit in
24:32the category i'm gonna load this
24:34amazing reverb by kematica now in order
24:37to connect this effect
24:38i need to access the main mixer so main
24:41mixer is also a new feature of key stage
24:432.0
24:44and so i have this trumpet swamp trumpet
24:48instrument by audio modeling
24:50and all i need to do is just grab this
24:51effect
24:54and just leave it on the fx chain
25:00so it's that easy
25:03by the way on the main mixer you can
25:05directly access
25:06these audio units user interfaces by
25:08tapping on them
25:10and since it's a mixer you can control
25:11the volume so let's actually simulate it
25:13by creating another
25:14instrument this time joshua here's my
25:18north keyboard
25:19and let's also load a swamp instrument
25:22here
25:22one of my favorites okay so
25:26these are mp instruments it actually
25:29needs an
25:29mp controller but actually what it
25:31simply does is check the output channels
25:33channel one on geoshred corresponds to
25:35the global channel it doesn't accept
25:37node signals from
25:38the global channel one so if i change it
25:40to any other channel like channel 2
25:42it simply starts playing so you can
25:44actually control these
25:45amazing instruments by regular keyboards
25:48let's create another effects so let's
25:51choose a simple one like
25:52this cutoff filter so now i layer jersey
25:55red and swamp
25:56engine let's actually create a simple
25:58splits to distinguish the two sounds
26:05and actually the range of the trumpet is
26:07not suitable for the lower range of my
26:09key so i'm going to apply a
26:11pitch shift
26:12[Music]
26:21and i can chain those instruments
26:30so it's as simple as that
26:33now let's talk more about this main
26:35mixer now let's
26:36just create another section with only
26:38geoshred on the full keyboard
26:40now when i tap the main mixer you notice
26:42that the track corresponding to swarm
26:44engine is darkened so that's that's
26:46because on section two
26:47the swamp engine doesn't have a
26:49corresponding part so that basically
26:51represents
26:52the fact that there is no part
26:53corresponding to swarm engine so if i go
26:55back to section one there is actually a
26:57corresponding part on the swamp engine
26:59and the same thing also works with
27:00effect units so suppose i have
27:03this structure so on section one the
27:05reverb effect has a corresponding part
27:07but
27:08the feature doesn't on section two both
27:10have corresponding parts so you can
27:11actually have an idea of which
27:13instruments are
27:14connected to their corresponding tracks
27:16and which are nuts depending on the
27:17section
27:18so this mixer changes dynamically when i
27:21change sections
27:22you can also change the parameters and
27:24instruments dynamically
27:25on the main mixer view as long as
27:26there's a corresponding part so
27:29here's what happens i tap on geoshreds
27:32and i
27:33make sure that this save changes or part
27:36is active this actually means that
27:38any change that i do here while i'm on
27:40main mixer modes
27:41are stored on parts including all the
27:44volume values and every adjustment that
27:46i make
27:46inside the audio units but of course as
27:48long as there is a corresponding parts
27:50so here i'm on section one there is a
27:52corresponding part on joshua
27:54let's choose another instrument
27:59so here's a guitar simulator
28:03so i changed the instrument here
28:06[Music]
28:07well of course the full state is not
28:09saved there so i'm going to change the
28:11instrument back to cello here
28:14so these changes are are saved on those
28:18parts but suppose i try to do the same
28:20thing with swamp engine so i choose a
28:22classical sound here and on
28:23section two i try to change the
28:25instrument just choose another
28:27instrument here but
28:28since there's no part here when i go
28:30back here okay it's classical on the
28:32first part but on section two
28:33it's still classical because there is no
28:35part here and the good thing is you can
28:37also change the states of effects
28:40so i have this let's choose another
28:42preset here this basement reverb
28:46and on section two i'm on cello the
28:49instrument changed on joshua
28:51but i can also change
28:55change the reverb level so i have a
28:57lower reverb level
28:58lower with dry mix here and
29:02and completely different preset here so
29:04the effect units
29:05can also change dynamically from section
29:08to section
29:09other than that we have this mute option
29:12so it mutes the track
29:14and you can see that now the this track
29:16is grayed out
29:17this basically means that the audio unit
29:19sound is cut off but also the midi
29:21signals
29:22are are blocked as well as you see the
29:23midi blink out is is off as well even if
29:26i'm on the range
29:27so mute basically cuts audio and midi
29:30simultaneously
29:34so let's move on to the midi processors
29:36so here middle processor units i'm going
29:38to choose jeffreds so jesuit is also a
29:40midi controller
29:41and since i choose this under the
29:42category of midi processors this doesn't
29:44produce any sound on its own
29:46but it produce midi and how you do this
29:48is you double tap
29:50so here's my geoshred it doesn't produce
29:51any sound right now
29:53but those audio units which have media
29:55outputs basically it can be either with
29:57a midi processor unit or an instrument
29:59unit or an effect unit those may
30:01also have midi outputs those who have
30:03media outputs have this
30:05new tab called connected tracks so now i
30:08can see sunriser here and i connect it
30:10to sunriser
30:11[Music]
30:17and if i type on sunriser and look at
30:20the midi inputs
30:21now i can see that json is connected
30:23midi from audio units so whenever i
30:25create an audio unit with a media output
30:27it basically shows on this list here
30:30let's do another one
30:31uh i'm going to create another
30:33instrument bit hawk
30:34and beethoven works really well without
30:36full state because it's already a
30:38multi-trimble instrument so i'm just
30:39turning off the full states so the
30:41current
30:42i have some drum sounds here and
30:45now i'm going to create another midi
30:47processor units
30:49called atom piano roll so this is
30:51actually sequencer
30:52let's connect my note keyboard to autumn
30:54roll and let's
30:56choose the connected track to beathawk
30:58and by the way
30:59right now it doesn't work the reason is
31:01that the track is selected when a track
31:03is selected
31:04there are no immediate messages going
31:06out to the other tracks i need to select
31:08the section and i need to activate
31:09the parts so as you see now my atom
31:13roll sends signals to btoc they actually
31:17send signals
31:18let's turn off solo only on the first
31:21track
31:23so here i'm gonna choose a full drum set
31:26instead
31:27[Music]
31:30let's solo this again
31:32[Music]
31:35so this is sequencer in order to use the
31:37sequence so i need
31:38transport functions so this is the new
31:40transport functions of key stage
31:42and if i start play with one
31:46bar pre-count it starts playing you can
31:48see the indicator here
31:49that we are on a 4-4 measure uh if i tap
31:53here i have the access to the tempo time
31:55signature and metronome properties
31:57so without going too much into detail
31:59let's turn on the metronome
32:02there is this pre-count bar one bar
32:04pre-count so this means that when i
32:07go to the beginning it will have one bar
32:09of pre-count
32:10so let's enable real loopy chords go to
32:12the beginning and start recording
32:15[Music]
32:25if i press bypass midi it basically
32:27stops playing
32:28it still drops the midi signals coming
32:31into autumn
32:32directly to its outputs if i open the
32:35main mixer
32:36now you can see that there is this midi
32:38units here this switch bottom here
32:40switches between effect units and midi
32:42units since there are no effect units i
32:43cannot
32:44really switch to anything now i can
32:46activate the midi units
32:47directly on the main mixer
32:53so let's move on to the other units so
32:55these are key stages on units
32:57there are three types input mixer and
32:58player units let's start with mixer
33:00units so mixer units are basically sub
33:02mixers
33:03in in key stage the mixer unit shows up
33:06here on our main mixer and i have three
33:08effects
33:09so i have a simple split here
33:10[Music]
33:16and what i'm going to do is let's let's
33:18put one of the effects here
33:20[Music]
33:22so this is an amp simulator one of the
33:24best actually
33:26and i put in reverb on my i symphonic
33:30let's decrease the mix a little bit and
33:34i want to pass these signals through a
33:37single effects
33:38which is a channel equalizer these are
33:40routed to the main speakers of my ipads
33:42if there was an audio interface
33:44connected to the ipad you would actually
33:45see the name of the audio interface with
33:47the channels
33:48so when you tap here there are the
33:50hardware outputs and the mixer units
33:52so this is now routed to the mixer let's
33:54roll both of them to the mixer
33:57and let's connect this to the mixer
34:04units
34:09so you can see that this effect is
34:10applies to
34:12everything that is connected to the
34:13mixer or i can
34:15take this amp simulator here so now my
34:21strings are also amped and you can just
34:23use the volume and pan
34:25on the mixer units as well moving on to
34:28the next which is probably
34:29the most advanced unit is the player
34:32units so player unit is an audio player
34:34with lots of additional functionalities
34:35so current audio file is none
34:37and if i tap here i don't have anything
34:39i haven't really imported any audio here
34:42let's do that i'm going to go into my
34:45dropbox
34:46i created this simple folder called
34:47keystage tutorial and i have an mp3 here
34:50let's export it into a key stage
34:55so a midi file is uploaded and actually
34:57you can locate this media file from
34:59files when i double tap on the media
35:01file there are two folders like pdf and
35:03audio files audio files
35:05imported files and here is the mp3 that
35:07i imported
35:08and i when i tap on the audio player
35:10from the imported files i can access the
35:12audio
35:14so this is a song that we have recently
35:16released with my event alkera
35:22so the audio player just shows the
35:24waveform
35:26you have the volume control you have the
35:29follow button you can follow the
35:30timeline
35:32you have the left and right locators and
35:35you have the loop function so
35:38it just keeps between the two located
35:39loops between the two locators if you
35:41want
35:42and moreover you can add markers
35:45[Music]
35:46so move here and add another marker i
35:49can select these markers move them
35:50around
35:52rename them chorus
35:55so how are we going to use the markers
35:57here's how we use them
35:58so the audio player has some automation
36:01functions with the parts
36:02so let's create a part here with an
36:04active part i have this
36:06new option here when a part is activated
36:08do nothing okay it does nothing right
36:10now but when i select
36:11something like start playing from left
36:13locator here's what happens
36:17so every time i activate this section
36:20corresponding to this part
36:22it starts playing from the left locator
36:25or for example you can choose start
36:27playing from chorus here
36:28so when i activate here it starts from
36:30that specific marker
36:32and suppose on this part i want to stop
36:35playing
36:36when i activate it so start playing from
36:38chorus
36:39stops playing and let's say i want to
36:42start
36:42playing from marker 2 this time
36:50so you can basically automate player
36:52units with these special
36:54actions on cards this suspend triggers
36:58is a nice mechanism to suspend all these
37:01automatic triggers
37:02temporarily of course so when suspend
37:05triggers is on
37:06none of these triggers happen so finally
37:09we have the input units
37:12well when you first load key stage you
37:15are prompt to
37:16activate the microphone for key stage
37:18and i purposely did not do that because
37:20i want to show you that you may
37:21encounter this message accesses the
37:23knight because i haven't enabled
37:25microphone on key stage
37:26so i first need to enable it for a
37:28microphone doesn't just mean ipad's
37:30microphone if you have an audio
37:31interface connected
37:33that means that that audio interfaces
37:34input is also muted
37:36so you have to specifically allow key
37:38stage to access it
37:44okay so i'm using the ipad's inbuilt
37:47microphone
37:49the the one that i'm using is actually
37:51not connected to my ipad
37:53okay so this is the ipad's microphone
37:55and it's just
37:56good there's no audio interface
37:58connected to the
37:59to the ipad so that's why i'm getting
38:01this feedback but basically you can
38:03connect your guitars you can connect
38:04your vocals
38:05test them through effects and so on
38:11custom translators are probably the most
38:13versatile and complex units of key stage
38:16so i'll probably just go over the
38:18surface here uh just give a couple of
38:20examples of how we can use custom
38:22translators
38:23so when i go to translators there's the
38:25second tab called custom translators
38:27and i add a custom translator add a new
38:29one so
38:30each custom translator has an input and
38:32an output
38:33so these are midi translators there are
38:35in incoming midi signals and outgoing
38:37midi signals or
38:38actions so i will show about that later
38:41but let's just first look at the basic
38:43translation function
38:44so suppose i want to well there is
38:47actually this
38:48mid learn function here i'm going to
38:49activate that i have this volume knob
38:51here on my north electra i activate it
38:53and it's control change seven
38:55let's just convert it into something
38:57else just pitch bands
39:00so i'm actually turning the volume knob
39:02of my north
39:04so this is the basic option you have
39:06upper and lower limit that you can
39:08assign
39:09for pitch band values 48 means full
39:12pitch
39:12up minus 48 means full pitch down so i
39:15can activate and deactivate
39:16custom translators just like other
39:18translators you can also add custom
39:20translators on tracks
39:21let's add one here and let's say this
39:24time i want to change the functionality
39:25of my expression pedal which is
39:27control change 11 to okay now we are on
39:30an audio unit i can access its audio
39:32unit parameters
39:33so these are specific to this audio unit
39:36let's choose cutoff
39:37[Music]
39:39and if i actually activate it you can
39:41see that the cut-off frequencies changes
39:43with my with my expression pedal
39:46and let's create another unit here
39:51i want to get the expression pedal again
39:53and
39:54change the unit volume now
39:59it doesn't work the reason is the
40:02following
40:03when i type the name of the song the new
40:05song in this case
40:06i can get the song properties now since
40:09there are more
40:10than one custom translator one on track
40:12the ones
40:13on track applies to all parts by the way
40:16the order of this
40:17matters because for example this changes
40:20the
40:20expression pedal into cut-off frequency
40:23whereas this changes into the unit's
40:25volume
40:25so if i tap here i see that the
40:27translator signal chain has an
40:29order so song properties can also add
40:32custom translators
40:33and here what happens the signals coming
40:35into a track first goes into the
40:37translator of the song
40:39then to the tracks translator then to
40:41the parts translator
40:42well there are no translators for the
40:44song so we just bypass that
40:46we get to the track the translator on
40:48the track applies converts my pedal
40:50signal into cutoff frequency and
40:52therefore when we get to the part we
40:53don't have the
40:54expression pedal signal but if we change
40:56the order here
40:57now the part applies first so when i'm
40:59here there are no constant translators
41:01on this part
41:02the tracks translator applies because
41:05there are no other translators that are
41:07going through
41:08here this time our expression pedal just
41:10acts
41:11as as a volume function as you see
41:14the translator just changes the volume
41:18so these are basic translations but
41:21custom translators
41:22also have some additional
41:23functionalities like changing sections
41:26starting a player and so on and so forth
41:28so here
41:29on this part i'm going to add the
41:31translator and this time i'm going to
41:33choose
41:33notes and as the output i have lots of
41:36options here i'm not going to go through
41:37all of them
41:38but special actions is probably the one
41:40that i use the most often
41:42so i have a bunch of trigger conditions
41:44trigger
41:45actions actually and next section is one
41:47of them
41:48so this actually means when the
41:51incoming signal is a node signal and it
41:54satisfies these two conditions actually
41:56these three conditions
41:57meaning the node ranges between these
41:59two the velocity range is between these
42:01two
42:02and it's a not on signal then this
42:05action is performed which means
42:07we move to the next section so i want to
42:09assign a single node
42:11to move to the next section let's say
42:14so i tap on this button press the notes
42:16to assign the lower range
42:18of my trigger range assigned upper range
42:21passes press the same note so it's just
42:23c4
42:24now that triggers the next section okay
42:27it's not happening right now because
42:29a part is activated these changing
42:31section
42:32triggers only happens when a section is
42:34selected so if i
42:35press the section and start playing
42:40c4 as soon as i press it i move to the
42:42next section
42:43so i can assign certain nodes to move to
42:46next section or
42:47maybe a path keypad on your keyboard to
42:50change sections here's another important
42:53example with player units
42:55so let me load the same song here and
42:58let me
42:59add a couple of markers i'm gonna create
43:01two custom translators on this track
43:04and the first one is the input signal is
43:07player events so whenever i have a
43:08player units
43:10the custom translator translators
43:11connected to that player unit have these
43:13player events
43:14and i'm going to choose when current
43:16time reaches
43:18sorry when current time reaches a marker
43:20then outputs
43:21i choose special action move to end
43:23section
43:24okay what is ant section whatever the
43:27marker's
43:27position is we move to the same position
43:30on the on the section
43:31so marker one corresponds to section one
43:34marker two corresponds to section two
43:35and so on
43:36so let's move the current position
43:38somewhere near marker 2 and start
43:39playing
43:41and let's see what happens
43:46as you see it automatically changes the
43:48section to as soon as it reaches marker
43:50one
43:51so similarly i can do the opposites so
43:55this time i'm going to check global
43:57events
43:58when a section is activated which means
44:00when the nth section is activated
44:02i choose player triggers i move my
44:04current time
44:06sorry i move my current time to the end
44:08marker so let's play
44:11and see what happens when i select this
44:13section close to the second marker when
44:15i select this
44:16it moves to the third marker and let's
44:18actually
44:19get this closer the third marker
44:24i want to third section means third
44:27marker
44:28and when it reaches the fourth marker it
44:30will switch to the fourth section
44:32[Applause]
44:34like
44:40now key stage can be controlled by midi
44:42devices externally and there are lots of
44:44ways to control it so i'm just going to
44:46show
44:46a couple of them so let's go to
44:49preferences
44:50and go to external midi control now
44:53there is this section
44:54which allows you to use a midi pedal for
44:56example to change sections
44:57let me first choose the inputs so i'm
45:00going to choose my note keyboard that's
45:01the only midi device that i connects to
45:03my ipad right now
45:04but you can actually connect multiple
45:05midi devices so there is
45:07change section with cc values that
45:09actually means that
45:10if i sense a control change for example
45:13a control change number with value
45:153 it moves to section three but i don't
45:18want to do that
45:19so i disabled this option but instead i
45:21want to just
45:22choose a cc number for next section and
45:25cc number four previous section actually
45:26i'm just going to choose a cc for next
45:28section so i
45:29you press me to learn i press my switch
45:31pedal connected to my node
45:32it sends control change 82 so this means
45:36when i press my pedal
45:37it automatically changes section 2. now
45:39the next thing
45:40is this external control parts so
45:43track input changes parameters i'm just
45:45going to show you that
45:46the rest are similar but this is already
45:49activated
45:50this actually means that any midi input
45:52coming from the tracks
45:53changes the parameters inside and
45:56activated selected parts
45:58so for example i have this parameters
46:00here for north electra
46:02and you can see the cc numbers next to
46:04them and if i
46:05move my volume slider here it
46:07automatically changes the volume here
46:09and assigns that volume value to this
46:12part
46:15the important thing is if a part is not
46:17selected
46:19the volume signal still goes through but
46:22it's not assigned to that part
46:24so if i look at this the volume has not
46:26changed
46:27so the part has to be selected in order
46:30to make the changes
46:31so this allows you to uh quickly
46:34configure your parameters using your
46:36hardware
46:37so since i'm using north keyboard as the
46:39midi inputs
46:40to control nord electro's inbuilt
46:42synthesizer
46:43the parameters control the synthesizer
46:45so i don't need to just
46:47use these sliders and knobs here i can
46:49just make the adjustments directly on my
46:51note keyboard with the
46:52knobs and sliders and everything are
46:55just recorded on on this parts
46:57as long as the part is selected okay
47:00what happens with the audio units
47:02so let's choose sunriser and i'm going
47:04to choose my north keyboard again
47:08so audio and parameters are not assigned
47:10any
47:11control change numbers except the
47:13standard two
47:14audio unit volume and pen so these are
47:17already assigned
47:18cc numbers these are assigned
47:19automatically though you can change them
47:22but more importantly you can assign
47:25control change numbers
47:26to to these parameters and
47:29[Music]
47:30and allows you to control the audio
47:32units using your
47:33midi controller
47:39so the live console key stage is
47:40optimized for live performance
47:42it can be accessed by pressing this
47:44button here which brings up this whole
47:46new
47:47interface so i built this simple song
47:49here and when i select
47:51section you can see that you can change
47:52the colors of these sections let me
47:54actually do some color adjustments
47:56quickly
47:57when i activate the live console you can
47:59see that the top bar represents the
48:01color of the section
48:03i can switch between sections by
48:05pressing these
48:06arrow buttons here and there are five
48:08types of live units here
48:10info xy control lyrics media and piano
48:12units
48:13i'm on the info unit info unit basically
48:15gives me the layout of my parts
48:17their ranges and their pitch shifts here
48:20i can just
48:21allows me to easily browse i can have a
48:23master volume control here
48:24and i can change the transpose by the
48:26way i can also change the transpose from
48:28the song properties here
48:29global transpose each section can have
48:32one of these five units assigned
48:34so for example on my first section i
48:36have the info unit on the second section
48:38suppose i
48:39activate xy control so when i'm on the
48:41first section it shows the info unit
48:43when i move to the second section
48:45i have the xy controller which i'm gonna
48:47show you how to use it
48:48but suppose on the third section i want
48:51to show the lyrics in it so lyrics unit
48:53is simple you can just write write your
48:55own lyrics here
48:56if you're also you know singing back
48:58vocals or something there's the media
49:00units so major units has some
49:02enhancements it can actually show you
49:04audio units
49:05the interfaces of order units here so
49:07it's categorized in the same way like
49:09instruments effects i have only
49:11instruments right now but for example on
49:12the fourth section i want to have access
49:14to the audio units interface
49:16directly so that i can change these
49:18drawbars
49:19and the last one is piano units so this
49:22and
49:22xy control units can control parts
49:25but in order to do that let me actually
49:27demonstrate with one part here
49:29that's this sunriser
49:32let's solo this now we move to this
49:35final part on the translators the live
49:37control units
49:39so the first one is the visual piano so
49:41this means that the visual piano now
49:43controls these units
49:44so if i activate virtual piano
49:48this controls sunriser but for example i
49:51can control two instruments
49:52simultaneously i can control
49:54north and sun riser at the same
49:58time and if i turn on filter nodes from
50:01track input switch this means that this
50:03part now receives signals from
50:05virtual piano but it does not receive
50:07signal from the actual
50:08inputs so right now part three is
50:11controlled by
50:12the virtual piano but my actual does not
50:15control
50:16part three and similarly uh the x and y
50:19control
50:20parameters here allows the xy control
50:23units
50:23to adjust different parameters on
50:26different parts and you can do this
50:27simultaneously
50:28so you realize this icon here this icon
50:31shows whenever
50:32an x or y control or both are activated
50:35on that part
50:36so let's just press x control so its
50:38default is the unit volume the ranges
50:41are set like this
50:42so
50:43[Music]
50:47okay let's delete these parts i can't
50:49really hear what's going on there
50:53have okay why is it not working because
50:55i forgot to
50:57turn off this switch so my keyboard
50:59cannot access to that part
51:01[Music]
51:05now the cool thing about the xy control
51:07unit is that it's relative
51:09so it's not like this sends volume 0 and
51:12this
51:13sends full volume it keeps track of the
51:16volume value
51:17so whatever the volume is right now i
51:19start increasing it here
51:22and i can start increasing
51:26like this or decrease it like this
51:29so it's just relative to your initial
51:30position on the xy control and xy
51:33control unit can
51:34control the master volume other control
51:36change signals pitch bands
51:38now back to the live console as i say
51:40where we can have assigned different
51:42units to different parts let's look at
51:44the media section there is actually this
51:46pdf and gpx files section here
51:48since i don't have any of them yet i
51:50need to import one here is
51:52one pdf file let me export it into key
51:55stage
51:58so if i go to files made the folder pdf
52:00and jpg files
52:01i can see the pdf file here i can double
52:03tap to just open it
52:05here but now if i go to media units i
52:07can access to this pdf file here
52:09and what it does is it can it actually
52:12stores
52:12the pdf file itself including its zoom
52:15and position adjustments that you do
52:17here
52:17so this view exactly is stored on this
52:20section
52:20so for example if i move to another
52:22section and activate the same pdf file
52:24suppose i want to just show this part of
52:27the pdf and i move to the next section
52:29it just moves to whatever stores on
52:32on that section and finally if i go to
52:35the info unit there are actually two
52:36additional tabs here
52:38the global panel the global panel
52:40basically shows
52:41overview of the song with each sections
52:43with all the splits and layers
52:45just marked out here i can just easily
52:47switch between sections here
52:49and i can change layouts to horizontal
52:51division and vertical division
52:52and the last one is just the main mixer
52:54again so you can access the main mixer
52:56directly from the live console as well
52:59and one thing
53:00that i have forgot to show you is the
53:02main mixer
53:03either on the live console or on the
53:05main view here has this compact view
53:07which hides the
53:09effects chain here although the effects
53:11are still there and you can also hide
53:13and show the midi tracks
53:14so if you if you're just working on a
53:16pure midi setup
53:18without any audio in it you can still
53:20use the main mixer to just
53:22mix your volume levels on midi tracks
53:28so finally i want to go through some of
53:29the preferences menus here i'm not going
53:31to go deep into the details but so as
53:33you know we can access in-app purchases
53:35here
53:36uh i'm going to talk about this when i
53:38talk about set lists i can access
53:40tutorial demo videos
53:41the dropbox integration i'm just going
53:43to cover it in another troll video
53:45um midi connections is also omitted here
53:48i will talk about external midi control
53:50a little bit
53:51instrument presets also another topic
53:53that needs to be covered
53:55like editing creating new instrument
53:57presets audio settings well there's some
53:59things that i can talk about here i can
54:01just change the sample rate and buffer
54:03size
54:04uh master volume also controls midi
54:06tracks this is actually important
54:07because behind the scene what this
54:09master volume slider does
54:11is okay it changes the volume of the
54:14global volume of the audio units but
54:16what about midi units
54:17so if you are actually combining audio
54:20units and
54:21like midi connections like i do here
54:26so for example there is the sun risers
54:28volume
54:31and there is the node electrodes volume
54:32so this slider sends volume signals to
54:35north whereas this is just an internal
54:37volume
54:38slider of key stage what this does is
54:40this changes the global volume
54:44but it also changes the volume of north
54:46this acts as a multiplier on the volume
54:49signals of midi tracks
54:50so for example when i take this all the
54:53way up to 127
54:55this actually doesn't send 127 volume
54:58signal to north that volume signal is
55:00actually multiplied by
55:01by the by the level of this volume here
55:03so when it's all the way up it's
55:05basically multiplied with one which
55:06means it doesn't change when it's all
55:08the way down
55:09all the volume signals are multiplied
55:10with zero when when it's for example
55:13just on the halfway down everything is
55:15just divided so 127 volume signal is
55:18translated into
55:1963 volume signal so therefore the volume
55:22signals or midi tracks can be controlled
55:24with this master volume but if i disable
55:26this
55:27this volume slider basically have no
55:29effect on the midi tracks anymore
55:32this is the north sounds and this has no
55:34effect at all
55:36okay skipping to this recording well key
55:39stage has
55:39a multi-track recorder so let's let's
55:42demonstrate that
55:43so from the main mixer so i can enable
55:45these recordings
55:46and starts recording well okay
56:03and what happens is if i go to file
56:06let's
56:07get back to audio files there's this
56:10recordings
56:11so it's new song on today the dates
56:14and each tracks recorded wav file
56:17and these are the exact times that they
56:19are recorded so i can play them
56:21but it was muted in the beginning but
56:25[Music]
56:29and i can just send them to anywhere and
56:32what i can do is i can even zip them and
56:34send the zip file to anywhere
56:36okay since we are on the file system
56:38here there is a general gesture is that
56:40when i double tap on something
56:42for example here made a folder when i
56:44single tap on it it says open on the
56:46top right corner when i double tap on
56:48anything whatever
56:50shows on the top right corner triggers
56:52so when i double tap it opens
56:54so for example i create a new folder
56:56here just just a random name
56:58and i double tap it opens that and i
57:00save the file here
57:01i say my song here okay the name of the
57:05song changes
57:06so when i tap here it says loads so it
57:08loads the song
57:09so let's load a new song first and when
57:12i double tap on here it's
57:13lo accesses into the folder and if i
57:15double tap on the song it loads it
57:17because that's the default action
57:19and i have these standards functions
57:21like delete copy move rename
57:23i'm not going over them right now um let
57:26me
57:26create a couple of songs quickly so
57:29let's go into setlists and i'll create a
57:31setlist
57:32these are my root directory this is the
57:34whole director i can access into the
57:36folders and
57:37all these are all the songs i tap on the
57:39song and put it into the setlist
57:40or i double tap to add it into the
57:43setlist or
57:44i can select songs here and remove it
57:46from the setlist or i double tap to
57:48remove from the setlist so it's
57:49basically the same
57:50kind of triggers so let me add a couple
57:53of songs i can
57:54change the order of the songs by just
57:56holding them and dragging up and down
57:58and i might click done i just name the
58:00setlists
58:03so i have my first setlist here i double
58:06tap to load it and here
58:07is my setlist so i can switch between
58:10songs quickly
58:11this is the order by double tapping on
58:13them and not only that
58:14in the live console now if i go to the
58:17last section of the song
58:19the next time i press the arrow it asks
58:22me to confirm whether i want to
58:24go to the next song and i say lot so i
58:26can just browse through all the songs
58:28with all the sections like this or i
58:30just activate the global panel
58:32since i can access the sections like
58:34this here these arrows just
58:36stands for changing songs now so
58:38speaking of changing songs
58:39the external midi control has also a
58:42changing song function so you can assign
58:44a controller to change songs
58:46just like sections and in the general
58:49setting there is
58:50this tiny switch here prompt when
58:52changing songs in the setlist mode so
58:54when i deactivate this
58:56in the live console for example at the
58:58end of the song i want to move to the
59:00next song
59:00when i press it it automatically loads
59:02the next one without any confirmation
59:04so that basically removes the
59:06confirmation dialog and one last thing
59:08that i forgot
59:09this is actually completely unrelated
59:11with the setlist
59:12so you can move the parts here you can
59:14copy them as you
59:15know you can actually squeeze them
59:17between parts
59:20vertically or horizontally you can do
59:21the same things here with tracks
59:23but one important feature is you can
59:26merge
59:26parts like this so now these two parts
59:30are connected to the same track
59:31let's actually move them here so
59:33whenever you move a part
59:35right on another part like this it just
59:38highlights
59:39and you can change the order here and
59:41what happens is that all these
59:43three parts are connected to the same
59:45track which basically allows you to
59:47do things like you know on this range i
59:49want to have this
59:51velocity whereas on this range i want to
59:53have this velocity and
59:54maybe another pitch shift so each parts
59:58properties are stored on this part which
1:00:00allows you more control over
1:00:02a single synthesizer so how do you
1:00:04actually compress this
1:00:06multi parts you basically double tap
1:00:09with two fingers
1:00:10anywhere on any of these parts and now
1:00:13you see this
1:00:14this is now this shows multiparts
1:00:17we can combine multiparts into single
1:00:20parts
1:00:20you can extend them by double tapping
1:00:22with two fingers
1:00:24also compress them so multipart
1:00:26basically works like that
1:00:29and one other thing that i also forget
1:00:31is this detail part
1:00:32so detailed part basically zooms into
1:00:34the section and shows more information
1:00:37about parts
1:00:38i can use these buttons to switch
1:00:40between sections
