  1. 0:06hello and welcome to the first
  2. 0:07introductory tutorial video of key stage
  3. 0:10in this video I'm going to talk about
  4. 0:12the core structure of Key Stage as well
  5. 0:15as some Advanced features without going
  6. 0:17too much into the details there will be
  7. 0:19other tutorial videos for the advanced
  8. 0:22features
  9. 0:23now I strongly suggest you to watch this
  10. 0:25video from another device either from
  11. 0:27your phone or from your computer while
  12. 0:30you have Key Stage open in front of you
  13. 0:33now
  14. 0:34um the first thing I want to talk about
  15. 0:35is the user's manual so keystage has a
  16. 0:38user's manual now which can be accessed
  17. 0:40directly from the app itself it's still
  18. 0:43working progress though most of the
  19. 0:45essential parts are complete as you can
  20. 0:47see there are certain sections are still
  21. 0:49work in progress
  22. 0:51but I'll be working on this user's
  23. 0:54manual and every time I complete a new
  24. 0:56section I will upload it to the database
  25. 0:58and it will automatically update it in
  26. 1:01your key stage
  27. 1:04you can also share the user's manual to
  28. 1:07other devices so you can actually read
  29. 1:09it from your phone or your computer
  30. 1:13one other thing that I want to talk
  31. 1:15about is these info buttons so
  32. 1:17throughout Key Stage you will see these
  33. 1:20info buttons and when you tap on them
  34. 1:23the corresponding section in the user's
  35. 1:26menu will automatically open so here's
  36. 1:28another example if I type preferences
  37. 1:31there are different preferences options
  38. 1:33and if I tap the info button the
  39. 1:36corresponding section in the user's
  40. 1:37manual automatically opens okay let's
  41. 1:40start with our connections our Hardware
  42. 1:41connections in this tutorial I'm going
  43. 1:44to be using my Nord Electro 5 HP
  44. 1:46keyboards this is a midi keyboard but it
  45. 1:50also has a sound engine which I want to
  46. 1:52use in Key Stage
  47. 1:54now it's not connected to my iPads but
  48. 1:57when I play it
  49. 2:00I can hear the sound from my mixer now
  50. 2:03as a master controller app keystage is
  51. 2:06responsible for all the midi routings
  52. 2:09from midi keyboards into sound engines
  53. 2:12or plugins
  54. 2:13and right now I have a direct connection
  55. 2:15between the MIDI controller part of my
  56. 2:18keyboard to the sound engine part of my
  57. 2:21keyboard that's why when I play it
  58. 2:23I can hear the sound even if it's not
  59. 2:25connected to my iPad
  60. 2:27I need to cut this direct connection so
  61. 2:29that key stage will have full control
  62. 2:31over over this keyboard so you can do
  63. 2:34this by turning the local control off of
  64. 2:37your keyboard so different keyboards
  65. 2:40have different settings so you have to
  66. 2:42look at the manual of your keyboard to
  67. 2:43do that so right now the local control
  68. 2:45is off and it's good to go I can control
  69. 2:48I can connect my keyboards to my iPad
  70. 2:51using a midi hop
  71. 2:54so as soon as I connect my keyboard this
  72. 2:56message pops up now depending on your
  73. 2:59keyboard you may or may not see this
  74. 3:01message but what key stage does here is
  75. 3:05it accesses a database of instrument
  76. 3:07presets and finds a match for my Nord
  77. 3:10Electro 5 keyboards
  78. 3:12I'm not going to go talk about E7
  79. 3:14process right now
  80. 3:16I'll briefly talk about them in this
  81. 3:19tutorial video when when the time comes
  82. 3:21but I suggest you to download this
  83. 3:24instrument presets
  84. 3:26and in the next message it says whether
  85. 3:29I want to connect it to the inputs of my
  86. 3:32note Electro and also say yes
  87. 3:35so our keyboard is connected
  88. 3:37uh let me briefly talk about this main
  89. 3:40view here on top we have these menu
  90. 3:43buttons which accesses different parts
  91. 3:45of key stage
  92. 3:46here on the bottom we have some
  93. 3:48additional information and some
  94. 3:50additional controls
  95. 3:51but the main three regions of Key Stage
  96. 3:54are the tracks region which is on the
  97. 3:56left part here
  98. 3:58the path region which is the central
  99. 4:00region and the sections here
  100. 4:04we're going to be starting with tracks
  101. 4:07so here if I double tap anywhere on this
  102. 4:10region I create a track
  103. 4:12s in Key Stage are connection hubs they
  104. 4:15have inputs here and an outputs
  105. 4:19so if I click inputs here you'll see the
  106. 4:23list of inputs midi inputs that is
  107. 4:25connected to my iPads these are the MIDI
  108. 4:27inputs of my sound cards and down here
  109. 4:30is the midi input from my Nord Electro
  110. 4:325. and if I play the keyboard you can
  111. 4:34see the blinking light next to it so I
  112. 4:36select this as my inputs
  113. 4:39now if I click outputs
  114. 4:41I have these midi connections and now
  115. 4:44these are the mini connections again for
  116. 4:46my sound card and here is North Elektra
  117. 4:50and my midi connection is done now I can
  118. 4:52play not keyboard through key stage
  119. 4:56now I'm gonna create another track again
  120. 4:59by double tapping on an empty region
  121. 5:01here
  122. 5:02and this time I want to control an app
  123. 5:05that is working in the backgrounds
  124. 5:07so I'm going to be using this app called
  125. 5:10synth1
  126. 5:12by Audio kits
  127. 5:14now if I play my keyboard here
  128. 5:19it's directly connected to this app
  129. 5:21audio kit sent one but I haven't chosen
  130. 5:24the inputs and outputs of the new track
  131. 5:26that I created in Key Stage so this is a
  132. 5:29direct connection which needs to be cut
  133. 5:30there are different ways to do it I'll
  134. 5:33show you the simplest way
  135. 5:35so if I go to settings here I can see
  136. 5:38that the midi Channel input is Omni
  137. 5:41which means all channels now my node
  138. 5:44electric keyboard sends midi signals
  139. 5:46from Channel 1. but if I change this
  140. 5:49channel to something else other than
  141. 5:51Channel One my midi signals from my
  142. 5:54keyboards will not play The Sounds in
  143. 5:56audio kit sync one because of because of
  144. 5:58this channel mismatch
  145. 6:00so right now the direct connections if
  146. 6:02is off so I'm good to go but before I go
  147. 6:05back to Key Stage I need to turn this
  148. 6:08background audio on because this app is
  149. 6:11going to be working in the background
  150. 6:14now I'm going to choose my North Electro
  151. 6:16again from the inputs
  152. 6:18and on the outputs I have this audio kit
  153. 6:21synth one up here
  154. 6:24now I'm playing my keyboards but I don't
  155. 6:27hear any sound here
  156. 6:29so I want to show you something to test
  157. 6:32why this isn't happening and this is a
  158. 6:35new debug feature in Key Stage there is
  159. 6:37this button called midi monitor if I tap
  160. 6:40this button the midi monitor appears
  161. 6:43with this track added to the monitoring
  162. 6:46so
  163. 6:48when I play my keyboard you can see the
  164. 6:50incoming meeting signals and the
  165. 6:52outgoing mini signals here I'm not going
  166. 6:54to go into the details of midi monitor
  167. 6:57but let me clear these logs here
  168. 7:00now the signals are coming and going out
  169. 7:03in to the outputs of the track but you
  170. 7:06can see that the channel number is one
  171. 7:09and I just changed the input channel of
  172. 7:11audio units audio kit sent one to
  173. 7:14channel 2. so let me close the midi
  174. 7:17monitor
  175. 7:18and here in the output channels I'm
  176. 7:21gonna choose 2 and deactivate one
  177. 7:26and now I can control audio kitsync one
  178. 7:28from Key Stage
  179. 7:30now I'm going to create another track
  180. 7:33I'm going to choose node Electro again
  181. 7:35for this track
  182. 7:37and when I click the output now you can
  183. 7:40see it is locked menu items here
  184. 7:42instrument units effect units midi
  185. 7:44processor units and other units
  186. 7:46so these are in-app purchases for
  187. 7:49keystage so each in-app purchase unlocks
  188. 7:52a different type of units
  189. 7:54so I'm gonna click on this unlock button
  190. 7:56to access the in-app purchases menu you
  191. 8:00can find the description of each of
  192. 8:01these in-app purchases
  193. 8:04and before you decide to purchase you
  194. 8:06can actually try all these units by
  195. 8:08clicking here try all units
  196. 8:11this will open a new session in Key
  197. 8:13Stage a two hour long session
  198. 8:16which will be able to use all the in-app
  199. 8:18purchases of key stage but you won't be
  200. 8:21able to save your songs or you won't be
  201. 8:23able to access your files mainly so this
  202. 8:26is like a trial modes so if I activate
  203. 8:28the trial modes it's going to be a brand
  204. 8:32new song
  205. 8:33where now if I click outputs you can see
  206. 8:36that all these units are active so this
  207. 8:39is a two hour long session after these
  208. 8:41two are you will be prompted back to go
  209. 8:43to the normal modes or you can manually
  210. 8:46go to normal mode here by tapping here
  211. 8:49this will completely open a new song so
  212. 8:52I I lost all the things that I did so
  213. 8:54far so I'm going to quickly create them
  214. 8:58so back to the normal note I want to
  215. 9:01unlock these uh in-app purchases I
  216. 9:04already purchased them so I'm going to
  217. 9:05hit ReStore in our purchases here
  218. 9:09which will restore all these uh units
  219. 9:14so I'm going to explain these categories
  220. 9:16one by one starting with instrument
  221. 9:18units so these are the standard
  222. 9:21instrument plugins
  223. 9:23and these are the ones that I installed
  224. 9:25into my iPads now a quick note about uh
  225. 9:28audio unit plugins
  226. 9:29in in iOS you install apps you cannot
  227. 9:34install a plugin directly into your iPad
  228. 9:37and certain plugins certain apps so if I
  229. 9:41go here to to my list of synth apps
  230. 9:45most of these scenes have support audio
  231. 9:48units which means that they can be
  232. 9:51opened as an audio unit plugin inside
  233. 9:53the host app like key stage
  234. 9:55but for example the saint one app
  235. 9:58doesn't support a audio unit plugin so
  236. 10:01that's why
  237. 10:03I cannot find it here I cannot find
  238. 10:05audio kit sent one here the ones that
  239. 10:07are supported that the ones that support
  240. 10:09audio units will show up here in the in
  241. 10:12the lists
  242. 10:14so I'm going to open module Pro here
  243. 10:18as soon as I load the plugin with
  244. 10:21automatic the place you don't need to
  245. 10:23worry about these direct connection
  246. 10:24issues with plug-in units
  247. 10:27and if I double tap on this track
  248. 10:30the audio unit view directly opens
  249. 10:32inside Key Stage so this is one of the
  250. 10:34big advantages of audio units compared
  251. 10:37to apps working in the background
  252. 10:39now I can move this view around I can
  253. 10:42change the scale
  254. 10:44or I can even choose frames from a set
  255. 10:47of
  256. 10:48predefined frames here
  257. 10:51so I can change the sound directly from
  258. 10:54from the plugin itself
  259. 10:56foreign
  260. 11:01here
  261. 11:03[Music]
  262. 11:07okay I'm going to close this audio units
  263. 11:09here from this x here so we have created
  264. 11:12three tracks now let's talk about parts
  265. 11:14and sections and the interactions
  266. 11:16between them now if I double tap on any
  267. 11:20of the region here
  268. 11:22I create a part and a section is
  269. 11:24automatically created here
  270. 11:26now if I play my keyboards
  271. 11:30I can hear I can only hear the sound of
  272. 11:34North
  273. 11:35this is because on this section which is
  274. 11:38the active section right now and it's
  275. 11:40denoted by this White Strip here
  276. 11:43there is a there is a part corresponding
  277. 11:46to North Electro 5 but there are no
  278. 11:48parts corresponding to audio kit sent
  279. 11:50one or the module Pro and because of
  280. 11:52that I can only hear the sound for Nord
  281. 11:55Electra
  282. 11:56now if I tap and hold this part move it
  283. 11:59down here
  284. 12:01this time I can only hear audio kit sent
  285. 12:04one and likewise if I moved here
  286. 12:07I can hear module Pro
  287. 12:10and if I create another part here by
  288. 12:12double tapping here now I have Parts
  289. 12:15corresponding to module Pro and node
  290. 12:17Electro
  291. 12:19I can hear these two sounds layers
  292. 12:22or I can hear
  293. 12:25all of these sounds layers
  294. 12:30so this is section one the first section
  295. 12:33if I move this part
  296. 12:35over here
  297. 12:37another section is created and on this
  298. 12:39section only a part corresponding to
  299. 12:42audio kits sent one available
  300. 12:45so I can hear audio kit here
  301. 12:49and I can hear the layered sound of node
  302. 12:52and module Pro here
  303. 12:53so sections in Key Stage are like
  304. 12:56presets or scenes where you can have
  305. 12:59layers or songs or even splits or songs
  306. 13:01that I'm going to talk about later and
  307. 13:04depending on how you use it you you may
  308. 13:07use sections as songs itself or you may
  309. 13:11use sections as sections of a song where
  310. 13:14like it's intro chorus or verse
  311. 13:17so while we're edits uh I'm gonna talk
  312. 13:20about some of the actions that you can
  313. 13:22do all on on these blogs so you can
  314. 13:25double tap to create a partner or a
  315. 13:28track you can move them around by
  316. 13:29dragging
  317. 13:30to holding and dragging you can do the
  318. 13:33same things with tracks
  319. 13:35so you can change the order of these we
  320. 13:37can you can tap and hold and move it in
  321. 13:40between two tracks and if you hold the
  322. 13:44track or a part with two fingers
  323. 13:47you create a copy of it so I create a
  324. 13:50copy of module Pro so I have now two
  325. 13:52copies of the of the same audio units
  326. 13:55you can do the same thing with parts you
  327. 13:57can create a copy hold and create a copy
  328. 14:00of them
  329. 14:00you can also squeeze Parts between two
  330. 14:04parts so you can see this vertical red
  331. 14:07strip which indicates that I'm going to
  332. 14:09squeeze this part Within These two parts
  333. 14:11when you do that a section is created as
  334. 14:13well
  335. 14:15and when you tap on these you can also
  336. 14:17do this all these things with sections
  337. 14:19you can put sections between two you can
  338. 14:22copy sections
  339. 14:23by holding and dragging with two fingers
  340. 14:27and whenever you select a part a track
  341. 14:30or a section you can see these trash can
  342. 14:32icons when you tap them it transforms
  343. 14:35into delete and when you tap on delete
  344. 14:37again it deletes
  345. 14:39so I'm going to delete these extra
  346. 14:40sections now
  347. 14:46and by the way you can select sections
  348. 14:49by tapping on these vertical strips in
  349. 14:52the parts you don't need to directly tap
  350. 14:54on the sections itself
  351. 14:55you can easily select sections by just
  352. 14:58tapping on the corresponding vertical
  353. 15:00strip here
  354. 15:01okay now let's go into the parts
  355. 15:04now in the part editor here there are
  356. 15:06two sections the parameters and
  357. 15:09translators so we're going to start with
  358. 15:11translators here
  359. 15:12there are lots of things to cover with
  360. 15:15translator I'll just go through the most
  361. 15:16essential ones uh start with range
  362. 15:19limiter so the range limiter as the name
  363. 15:23suggests limits the range of your
  364. 15:25keyboard for that specific part
  365. 15:27now each of these translators can be
  366. 15:30activated by tapping on these buttons or
  367. 15:33can be deactivated
  368. 15:35so I'm going to activate this translator
  369. 15:37and I'm gonna tap it's currently in full
  370. 15:39range
  371. 15:42if I tap on this full range this view
  372. 15:45shows up this is where you set up the
  373. 15:48new range
  374. 15:49now there are two ways to do that
  375. 15:52you can manually drag your finger across
  376. 15:55this virtual keyboard to assign to add
  377. 15:58ranges to add notes to your range
  378. 16:01we can tap mute to clear the range you
  379. 16:05can set the full range again or you can
  380. 16:08tap remove notes to
  381. 16:10remove notes from from the edit range
  382. 16:13so let's mute it first
  383. 16:16switch to add nodes
  384. 16:18the easier method is direct by directly
  385. 16:21using your keyboards so
  386. 16:24as you keep playing your no keyboards
  387. 16:26those notes are added to the range
  388. 16:29or you can add intervals like pipe
  389. 16:33simultaneously pressing two notes
  390. 16:38we can add ranges like that
  391. 16:40[Music]
  392. 16:41and then if you click outside this range
  393. 16:44is assigned to this part
  394. 16:47so anything about B4 or below C1 or
  395. 16:51muted here
  396. 16:52so using this let's create a splits with
  397. 16:57these three instruments
  398. 16:58uh let's
  399. 17:00create Parts here as well
  400. 17:03now when I play I can hear all the
  401. 17:07sounds both not Electro module or synth
  402. 17:11one but suppose I just want to hear the
  403. 17:14instruments that I'm working on that I'm
  404. 17:17editing for example here or not I just
  405. 17:20want to hear
  406. 17:21uh North electrode while this part is
  407. 17:24selected now there is a option in Key
  408. 17:27Stage for that here
  409. 17:30always solo selected parts
  410. 17:33when you activate this
  411. 17:36if a part is selected
  412. 17:39the corresponding track will only play
  413. 17:42and all the others are automatically
  414. 17:44muted
  415. 17:45but if a section is selected this this
  416. 17:48will have no no effects
  417. 17:51so this is really good for editing and
  418. 17:54as I usually keep this on while I'm
  419. 17:56editing my song so here I'm on Nord
  420. 17:59Electro I want to assign uh this piano
  421. 18:03instrument on the top range of my
  422. 18:05keyboard so I'm going to tap range
  423. 18:08limiter and on my keyboard I'm gonna
  424. 18:11press
  425. 18:13this range from uh D4 up to the top
  426. 18:19range of my node keyboards
  427. 18:21so it's D3 not D4
  428. 18:23and the other two instruments I want to
  429. 18:26assign the rest of the range so
  430. 18:30I'm gonna press press the range limiter
  431. 18:32well there's already a range assigned so
  432. 18:35I'm gonna mute it first and then assign
  433. 18:37the same range
  434. 18:39so now I have created a split
  435. 18:42so when I play the uh upper regions I
  436. 18:46don't hear anything right now because
  437. 18:48this part is selected and always solo
  438. 18:52selected part is on that's why node
  439. 18:54Electro cannot be played right now but
  440. 18:56if I select the section
  441. 18:58[Music]
  442. 19:07I created a splits with the audio kit
  443. 19:11synth phone and module Pro on my left
  444. 19:13hand and the piano on the right hands
  445. 19:15now I'm not going to go through all
  446. 19:17these translators here in detail but I
  447. 19:19just want to talk about this Auto
  448. 19:21sustain feature which is kind of a
  449. 19:22unique feature of Key Stage so I'm going
  450. 19:25to create another part here
  451. 19:27this is the choir
  452. 19:30now if I toggle Auto state
  453. 19:33[Music]
  454. 19:40I'm not using my pedal right now all the
  455. 19:43chords are automatically sustained and
  456. 19:45as soon as I change the chords the pedal
  457. 19:48on off signal is automatically triggered
  458. 19:51on that part on that specific part
  459. 19:54and if I want to stop the auto sustain I
  460. 19:57just press my sustain pedal to stop it
  461. 19:59okay so much for the translators now I
  462. 20:02want to talk about these parameters here
  463. 20:04but I'm going to start from scratch I'm
  464. 20:06going to delete these sections
  465. 20:10and create a single part on this module
  466. 20:13Pro now this parameter section controls
  467. 20:16the sound of the connected Plugin or
  468. 20:20Hardware instruments whatever it is
  469. 20:22including the unit volume here so I'm
  470. 20:25going to start with this unit volume
  471. 20:27[Music]
  472. 20:29so I can change the volume here
  473. 20:33for this specific parts
  474. 20:36so if I create another part here
  475. 20:38and increase the volume here
  476. 20:43I can have two different volume values
  477. 20:45for these two different parts
  478. 20:48now
  479. 20:49you can see that
  480. 20:51on these parts the volume is active this
  481. 20:54is an active parameter so you will
  482. 20:56encounter this active parameters a lot
  483. 20:58in in key stage in general
  484. 21:01when a parameter is active the value is
  485. 21:04assigned the value is sent to the output
  486. 21:06of the track as soon as the section the
  487. 21:09correspondence section becomes active
  488. 21:12so right now the section 2 is active
  489. 21:15because of this white uh vertical strip
  490. 21:18as soon as I activate section one
  491. 21:22the volume value here is sent to the
  492. 21:25audio units module Pro
  493. 21:27but here
  494. 21:29the volume is not active and because of
  495. 21:31that as soon as I activate this section
  496. 21:33or this part it doesn't matter
  497. 21:36no volume value will be sent to the to
  498. 21:38the module Pro so the volume will not
  499. 21:40change so to demonstrate that let's say
  500. 21:43I'm on this part 2 with full volume
  501. 21:48if I move to part three the volume will
  502. 21:51stay at full volume it won't change
  503. 21:53because the volume parameter is not
  504. 21:55active
  505. 21:56if I'm on part one with volume minus 5.7
  506. 22:00decibels
  507. 22:02again if I move to a volume of a part
  508. 22:05three the volume will stay at that minus
  509. 22:085.7 decibel because there is no active
  510. 22:11unit volume perimeter here and the same
  511. 22:13is true for audio Unit 10 here
  512. 22:16now let's talk about uh Parts on middle
  513. 22:19tracks the parameters on on Parts with
  514. 22:22which are connected to music tracks now
  515. 22:25when I select this part I can see these
  516. 22:28midi parameters here
  517. 22:30these parameters came with the
  518. 22:33instrument preset that we downloaded at
  519. 22:35the beginning of the tutorial video so
  520. 22:37these parameters control the uh certain
  521. 22:40parameters on my Note Electro 5.
  522. 22:44and there is also this volume this
  523. 22:46volume is the default parameter it
  524. 22:48always comes even if I don't download an
  525. 22:51instrument presets
  526. 22:52and the standard CC number for the
  527. 22:55volume is seven it's the standard means
  528. 22:57volume midi signal and this slider just
  529. 23:01works the same way as on audio units so
  530. 23:05it can be active or inactive
  531. 23:06[Music]
  532. 23:09so if I
  533. 23:11activate the volume here
  534. 23:13the volume changes from here to here but
  535. 23:16here the volume is inactive
  536. 23:19it doesn't change when I move to part
  537. 23:21three
  538. 23:22and the same is true for all the
  539. 23:24parameters that you can see here you can
  540. 23:26change the different aspects of note
  541. 23:28Electro from these parameters
  542. 23:30okay
  543. 23:32what about the sound itself how can I
  544. 23:34change the sounds well the instrument
  545. 23:36preset also provides the list of songs
  546. 23:40insights inside the connected
  547. 23:42instruments see inside node Electro in
  548. 23:45this case so when I tap here I can
  549. 23:47access all the sounds
  550. 23:49the preset sounds that are stored in
  551. 23:52Northern Electra and directly choose a
  552. 23:54sound here
  553. 24:01so this way
  554. 24:03I can change instruments from part to
  555. 24:05parts
  556. 24:07so let's say I choose
  557. 24:09a piano sound here
  558. 24:13and an EP and a sound here
  559. 24:17so sounds can be dynamic to change from
  560. 24:20section to section for Midi parts
  561. 24:23okay what about
  562. 24:25uh Parts which are connected to audio
  563. 24:27units
  564. 24:29so let me delete these parts again
  565. 24:32now
  566. 24:33for audio unit plugins things work a
  567. 24:36little bit different
  568. 24:39so this is let's Center this pan here
  569. 24:44so when I select these parts
  570. 24:48it says no instrument preset here well
  571. 24:50Eastern preset can also be attached to
  572. 24:53audio instead I'm not going to go into
  573. 24:54that in this tutorial video it's a bit
  574. 24:56Advanced but uh you have much more
  575. 25:00control of audio units when it comes to
  576. 25:03changing sounds so
  577. 25:05as you remember when I select a track
  578. 25:08and double tap on it
  579. 25:10this view comes in the the user
  580. 25:14interface of the audio unit just appears
  581. 25:17and it also appears when I double tap on
  582. 25:20on the parts the same user interface
  583. 25:23so right now if I change the sound here
  584. 25:28okay
  585. 25:29a new parameter edits just click don't
  586. 25:32show this message again this is a bit
  587. 25:34Advanced uh I'm gonna explain it in
  588. 25:37another tutorial video or you can look
  589. 25:38it up in the manual again so just don't
  590. 25:41just press don't show that message again
  591. 25:44now if I select a part and change the
  592. 25:47instrument here
  593. 25:49by default
  594. 25:51it's just changed on the track it's not
  595. 25:53changed on the parts
  596. 25:55so there is only one instrument right
  597. 25:56now assigned so these parts doesn't
  598. 25:58contain any instrument information
  599. 26:00however you can change this Behavior
  600. 26:04if we select the parts
  601. 26:06there is this switch here which says
  602. 26:09parts store and store and callback full
  603. 26:12states of audio units okay a full state
  604. 26:16of an audio units technically means the
  605. 26:20whole information of a sound including
  606. 26:23all the parameters all the presets
  607. 26:26everything
  608. 26:28basically what you see here
  609. 26:30all these parameters whatever you choose
  610. 26:33here
  611. 26:34and by default this switch is off means
  612. 26:38parts do not store or callback full
  613. 26:40states of audio units
  614. 26:43but if I change this switch on
  615. 26:46let me zoom in well yeah you can
  616. 26:48actually change the scale by
  617. 26:50dragging your finger over over this
  618. 26:53region
  619. 26:56whenever I activate this switch you can
  620. 26:59see this FS f symbols on parts and also
  621. 27:03on the track this means that full States
  622. 27:05is enabled for this track
  623. 27:07and this means now Parts can store and
  624. 27:11call back full States
  625. 27:13and you can see now this changes to a
  626. 27:16completely different view it says module
  627. 27:19Pro here now I'm directly accessing to
  628. 27:21the module Pro Sounds
  629. 27:24rather than sending some program change
  630. 27:26and Bank select messages
  631. 27:28and this says full state is active for
  632. 27:30this part now if I double tap on this
  633. 27:33Parts change the sound here
  634. 27:37this setting with this Choice with
  635. 27:41everything that I every adjustment that
  636. 27:43I do here including like all these
  637. 27:45parameters here
  638. 27:47[Music]
  639. 27:49are stored on these parts as soon as I
  640. 27:52leave this part move to another parts
  641. 27:54these choices are stored on this part
  642. 27:57now on part two I have a different
  643. 27:59instruments
  644. 28:00let's choose another one here let's say
  645. 28:08so
  646. 28:15foreign
  647. 28:19so now all these three parts have three
  648. 28:21different sounds
  649. 28:22assigned to them
  650. 28:24so you can change the
  651. 28:26parameters here
  652. 28:29or you can see that as you change the
  653. 28:32parameter this slide removed so this
  654. 28:34slider controls that parameter so they
  655. 28:36are these are incomplete sync with these
  656. 28:39parameters
  657. 28:40so let's say increase the release Here
  658. 28:43[Music]
  659. 28:48now
  660. 28:49the way full States act on Parts is very
  661. 28:53similar to the volume the active volume
  662. 28:57parameter here
  663. 28:59so
  664. 29:01If I deactivate full State on this part
  665. 29:03so you can do this either by tapping on
  666. 29:07this
  667. 29:08button here or if you double tap on the
  668. 29:11part to bring up the user interface you
  669. 29:14can also change the
  670. 29:16full States I mean whether you full set
  671. 29:18is active on this part or not
  672. 29:21from this bottom here
  673. 29:23so when full state is inactive on the
  674. 29:26parts
  675. 29:27it doesn't store the full state or call
  676. 29:30back to full state so just like the
  677. 29:32unit's volume
  678. 29:33whatever the last full state is whatever
  679. 29:35the last sound is on this audio units as
  680. 29:39I move to this part though a new sound
  681. 29:42will not be loaded so here we are on
  682. 29:44people
  683. 29:48and if I move to this part I'm still on
  684. 29:50the same piano sounds and you can see
  685. 29:53the f is gone on this part
  686. 29:55but if I move from
  687. 29:57these parts to part three
  688. 30:00again now the whatever the last sound is
  689. 30:04the sound stays the same a new sound is
  690. 30:07not loaded if the full state is off okay
  691. 30:10so much for full States and parameters
  692. 30:11uh let's talk about effect units uh
  693. 30:15before I do that I want to create
  694. 30:17another instrument unit here
  695. 30:20as you see when I copy the track the
  696. 30:22part is automatically copied as well all
  697. 30:24the parts actually are automatically
  698. 30:26copied let's delete this I'm going to
  699. 30:28choose another instrument for a unit
  700. 30:31here let's choose
  701. 30:34Hammond's b3x to organ simulator
  702. 30:38and let's create a part here for that
  703. 30:43okay now I'm going to create an effect
  704. 30:46units
  705. 30:47from the
  706. 30:49effect in its category let's create this
  707. 30:53overdrive effect
  708. 30:55so this is an audio units plugin so I
  709. 30:58can double tap on the track to open its
  710. 31:00user interface
  711. 31:02but it's not connected to any instrument
  712. 31:04instrument unit yet
  713. 31:07I'm going to create another effect unit
  714. 31:08before I show you how to connect them
  715. 31:12I'm going to create this Reverb effects
  716. 31:14so I have these two effect units two
  717. 31:17audio units
  718. 31:19to be able to connect them to audio
  719. 31:22units to audio instrument units I'll go
  720. 31:25to song mixer here
  721. 31:26now the song mixer has three parts
  722. 31:30uh on the right side we have the volume
  723. 31:32this master volume here we have the
  724. 31:35channel strips for which corresponds to
  725. 31:37tracks midi tracks and instruments units
  726. 31:40here
  727. 31:41and on the left we have these effect
  728. 31:43units which are not connected to
  729. 31:45anything yet so let's go to section two
  730. 31:49uh this is the section with parts on
  731. 31:52module Pro
  732. 31:54and
  733. 31:56I'm gonna connect this effect by holding
  734. 31:59and dragging it into the channel strip
  735. 32:03and I think this is automatically
  736. 32:05applying
  737. 32:08I can change the parameters and by the
  738. 32:10way as you can see I can tap on these
  739. 32:13you don't I don't need to double tap I
  740. 32:15by just simply tapping on these icons of
  741. 32:17audio units I can open their user
  742. 32:19interface directly from the song mixer
  743. 32:23so this effect is connected to module
  744. 32:25Pro
  745. 32:27and on Section 3 I have Hammonds and
  746. 32:30let's connect this effect to Hammonds
  747. 32:33the Reverb effects
  748. 32:35or
  749. 32:36I can connect these effects
  750. 32:39both of the effects into Hammond by
  751. 32:41again simply dragging
  752. 32:43or I can change the order by holding
  753. 32:47this Reverb and reconnecting it into
  754. 32:49Hammond so it's always connected at the
  755. 32:51end of this effect chain here
  756. 32:54[Music]
  757. 32:57you probably have realized that when I
  758. 32:59change from section to section
  759. 33:02the channel strips highlights changes
  760. 33:05the colors the brightness are changing
  761. 33:07so on section 2 there is a part
  762. 33:10connected to module Pro but there isn't
  763. 33:12a part connected to Hammonds and vice
  764. 33:15versa on section three so these are
  765. 33:17indicated by highlighted strips or
  766. 33:20non-highlighted strips like that on
  767. 33:22section one I have not Electro
  768. 33:25as you can see a part connected to node
  769. 33:28Electro and all the other channel strips
  770. 33:30are dark so there are no parts connected
  771. 33:32to it so you can easily keep track of
  772. 33:35which tracks are active and which tracks
  773. 33:37are not on each section
  774. 33:39from directly from the song mixer
  775. 33:41one other quick note you can change the
  776. 33:44volumes of the tracks or the parts here
  777. 33:49and there's this active button which is
  778. 33:51added actually with version 2.1 this
  779. 33:54active button is nothing but
  780. 33:57this active button here is the same so
  781. 34:00if the unit volume is active on this
  782. 34:04part
  783. 34:05it just also indicated here with active
  784. 34:08button and I can deactivate it here
  785. 34:11and by the way if I double tap on the
  786. 34:13volume it just becomes uh zero decibel
  787. 34:17the default volume
  788. 34:18now back to effects
  789. 34:20there is another way to connect effects
  790. 34:25and this is through mixer units
  791. 34:28so I'll create another track now and
  792. 34:31from the outputs
  793. 34:33I type other units and there are three
  794. 34:36different types of units here these are
  795. 34:39units specific to Key Stage these are
  796. 34:41not audio unit plugins
  797. 34:44um I'm just going to talk about mixer
  798. 34:46units now mixed units are submixers in
  799. 34:50Key Stage
  800. 34:51so there are two ways to use them I'll
  801. 34:54first show you the simple one the simple
  802. 34:58use
  803. 34:59now if you look at the channel strips at
  804. 35:02the bottom of each Channel strip there
  805. 35:04is the outputs of that channel strip so
  806. 35:06these are the outputs of my audio
  807. 35:09interface my audio interface is output
  808. 35:13but if I tap on this I can choose
  809. 35:16different outputs of my audio interface
  810. 35:18or I can connect it to a mixer
  811. 35:23let me do the same thing with the
  812. 35:24Hammonds
  813. 35:27so now
  814. 35:33both of these audio units are connected
  815. 35:35to to this mixer here
  816. 35:37so if I turn the volume down of this
  817. 35:40mixer both audio units volume are just
  818. 35:43completely muted
  819. 35:45and if I connect effects to this mixer
  820. 35:50let's take this out
  821. 35:52they are basically applied to all the
  822. 35:55audio units that are connected to this
  823. 35:56mixer
  824. 35:58so this is the simple way but there
  825. 36:00isn't better way to use these effect
  826. 36:03units
  827. 36:04which are through these sense here so to
  828. 36:08demonstrate that let me connect these to
  829. 36:10the outputs on my Hardware again
  830. 36:13disconnected from the mixer
  831. 36:16if I tap sense here
  832. 36:19non-mixier audio units instrument units
  833. 36:22will have these new icons called sense
  834. 36:26and it's basically a sense like a
  835. 36:30percentage of the output or the volume
  836. 36:32will be sent to this mixer
  837. 36:34here
  838. 36:39and it actually demonstrates better with
  839. 36:41Reverb effects so I'm just going to
  840. 36:43connect the Reverb here
  841. 36:48so I'm sending 47 of the outputs to this
  842. 36:53mixer
  843. 36:54[Music]
  844. 36:57but the helmets has zero so let me also
  845. 37:00increase this
  846. 37:01[Music]
  847. 37:06and for any number of mixer units that
  848. 37:09will be sent automatically created on
  849. 37:11these Channel strips here
  850. 37:13and you can see also there is this
  851. 37:15active button on this sense as well well
  852. 37:18that's because
  853. 37:19these sense the amount of distance also
  854. 37:22appears here as as parameters track
  855. 37:25parameters so they behave the same way
  856. 37:27as unit volume they can be activated
  857. 37:29deactivated and the amount of sense can
  858. 37:33be changed from part to parts
  859. 37:35so you can see I'm having different
  860. 37:38sound values let's move this here
  861. 37:44so I can have zero sound here
  862. 37:47I can't have
  863. 37:49like 93 Cent here
  864. 37:52or if I create another part here let me
  865. 37:55delete this part here
  866. 37:59the sound is inactive here so whatever
  867. 38:01the Lost value is
  868. 38:03it stays that way so
  869. 38:05here it's 93 here it's zero
  870. 38:09here it's inactive so it stays zero but
  871. 38:12if I move from section 3 to section one
  872. 38:15section one it stays 93 because it's
  873. 38:19inactive here
  874. 38:22so Sans is a new way of rooting uh
  875. 38:26signals through effects in 2.1
  876. 38:30before I move on I'll briefly talk about
  877. 38:32player units without going too much into
  878. 38:35details so I'm going to create another
  879. 38:37track here
  880. 38:39and create a player unit here these are
  881. 38:42basically units that can play audio
  882. 38:43files so in order to be able to do that
  883. 38:46we first need to transfer some audio
  884. 38:48files into Key Stage I'll just transfer
  885. 38:50one audio file
  886. 38:52I prepared a file here
  887. 38:57let's transfer this file
  888. 39:00using the share feature of iOS
  889. 39:04so I'm going to choose
  890. 39:07Key Stage from the list
  891. 39:10so if I double tap on this audio player
  892. 39:14I can see the list of all imported files
  893. 39:18or recordings so keystage can actually
  894. 39:20record audio I'm not going to go through
  895. 39:23this in this tutorial video because it's
  896. 39:25kind of an advanced function but here is
  897. 39:28the video that I imported
  898. 39:31from
  899. 39:32from the file section let me reduce the
  900. 39:35volume a bit
  901. 39:36[Music]
  902. 39:39so
  903. 39:40uh it just plays audio and there are
  904. 39:44certain functions that you can do you
  905. 39:46can change the starting points
  906. 39:49so you can go cycle through these
  907. 39:54so you can use your gesture to
  908. 39:56zoom into the waveform
  909. 39:58then tap here to follow the line
  910. 40:02you can move on different parts
  911. 40:06stop and you can actually automate all
  912. 40:08these using some Advanced
  913. 40:10functionalities like cousin translators
  914. 40:12which I'm not going to show right now
  915. 40:14actually I made sure in the later
  916. 40:17and so these are these are just audio
  917. 40:19players so there are lots of features
  918. 40:21about them but I'm not gonna go through
  919. 40:22them go through all of them
  920. 40:26okay now let me show you how you can
  921. 40:28control uh different parameters like
  922. 40:30volume or pen or different features of
  923. 40:32Key Stage using your external MIDI
  924. 40:34controller using sliders and knobs on
  925. 40:37your uh controller or MIDI controller
  926. 40:39now we need to go back to this
  927. 40:42parameters here again
  928. 40:44now on these parameters let me activate
  929. 40:46the volume and pan here you can see on
  930. 40:50the unit volume there is this cc7 and on
  931. 40:53unit pan this is cc10 but here on the
  932. 40:56other parameters I don't see anything
  933. 40:58now this means the unit volume
  934. 41:01actually can be controlled using uh
  935. 41:04control chain seven signals from from
  936. 41:07the MIDI controller so this is what I'm
  937. 41:10doing right now I'm moving the volume
  938. 41:12knob on my midi keyboard and the One
  939. 41:14automatically changes here and if I
  940. 41:16deactivate it and change the volume it
  941. 41:19automatically becomes activated
  942. 41:20so I can control the volume right now
  943. 41:24right from the beginning because these
  944. 41:26are automatically assigned to unit
  945. 41:27volume and audio units pan these two
  946. 41:30numbers
  947. 41:31and so you can also there see that
  948. 41:33they're all reflected well since all my
  949. 41:35tracks have uh cc7
  950. 41:39let's see this part cc7 is assigned to
  951. 41:43all of these tracks
  952. 41:44they are controlled and on both tracks
  953. 41:48and in fact if I
  954. 41:50tap on this mixer and
  955. 41:53activate this inputs nodes input on this
  956. 41:57mixer as well it will also control that
  957. 41:59so
  958. 42:00okay but now suppose I want to control
  959. 42:04these volumes
  960. 42:05with different knobs on my controller
  961. 42:08not I don't want to control them
  962. 42:10simultaneously with a single knob so
  963. 42:13what I'm going to do is I I'll tap here
  964. 42:16let's say I want to control the volume
  965. 42:18or module probe with seven
  966. 42:21but I want to control the volume of
  967. 42:24Hammonds with something else
  968. 42:26now there is this midi button midi learn
  969. 42:29button if I tap this
  970. 42:32this small view pops up and it says
  971. 42:35middle there move your slider or Knob or
  972. 42:37your MIDI controller to assign
  973. 42:41any a different CC number so I'm moving
  974. 42:43another Knob here
  975. 42:45so it's actually it's a control change
  976. 42:47113
  977. 42:49so now this mob controls the volume of
  978. 42:52of this track
  979. 42:54and for Midi track let's create a part
  980. 42:57on this mixer so that I can assign
  981. 42:58another uh knob here
  982. 43:02I can move this knob here or I can
  983. 43:04manually choose whatever number I have
  984. 43:07but I'm just going to choose the knob
  985. 43:09here
  986. 43:10so now I have three knobs assigned to
  987. 43:12different uh three volumes on different
  988. 43:14tracks
  989. 43:16and I can control them independently as
  990. 43:19you can see
  991. 43:20and not only volume all the parameters
  992. 43:23can be assigned CC numbers here
  993. 43:26so I can actually even assign a cc
  994. 43:29number to a cents
  995. 43:31so let's say I assign this
  996. 43:34on the send of module Pro sent to this
  997. 43:38mixer
  998. 43:40as you can see I by changing the knob I
  999. 43:43can change the value on of the sense
  1000. 43:46and also the same works with all these
  1001. 43:49audio unit parameters and here actually
  1002. 43:51I'm going to show you something cool uh
  1003. 43:54let's do this on hemins I'm going to
  1004. 43:56double tap on hemons
  1005. 43:58I can assign this CC assignments on
  1006. 44:02these parameters by again tapping on
  1007. 44:04these bottoms here
  1008. 44:06but there is a better rate there is an
  1009. 44:08easier way
  1010. 44:09now why not Electro has this drawback
  1011. 44:12controls and I want to assign these
  1012. 44:14drawbar controls to these drawbars here
  1013. 44:17so there is this midi learn button here
  1014. 44:21when I tap this
  1015. 44:23audio units turns into a midi learn mode
  1016. 44:27why so it's indicated by this blue
  1017. 44:30rectangle
  1018. 44:32and while we're in this mode
  1019. 44:34if I tweak a parameter here
  1020. 44:36it says upper row bar one key stage is
  1021. 44:40waiting for Midi signal to assign to
  1022. 44:42Upward drawbar one this one so I don't
  1023. 44:44need to find output row bar one from
  1024. 44:47this list here
  1025. 44:49I can directly choose it tweak it here
  1026. 44:52and then assign it here
  1027. 44:56so I'm able to assign all these drawbars
  1028. 44:59from from my Nord keyboard using this
  1029. 45:01middle learn function so you can control
  1030. 45:04these parameters uh using your sliders
  1031. 45:06and knobs on these if I actually go
  1032. 45:09through this list here
  1033. 45:12you can see that these assignments are
  1034. 45:13made here you can you can you can also
  1035. 45:15unassign them if you want now there are
  1036. 45:18several ways to control different parts
  1037. 45:20of Key Stage using external midi control
  1038. 45:22but I'm going to show one more essential
  1039. 45:25parts
  1040. 45:26in order to do that I need to go to
  1041. 45:28preferences here
  1042. 45:29in preferences there is this external
  1043. 45:31midi control parts
  1044. 45:34Now using your external foot pedal you
  1045. 45:37can actually change sections
  1046. 45:39and this is the part where you do that
  1047. 45:43so from the midi inputs
  1048. 45:46I'm going to choose my North Electro
  1049. 45:49and in this first section here
  1050. 45:52is for changing sections
  1051. 45:55now make sure that this switch is off
  1052. 45:58you assign a control change number to
  1053. 46:01next section and you assign another
  1054. 46:02control change number to previous
  1055. 46:04section if you want so we are also
  1056. 46:06having the midi learn buttons here so I
  1057. 46:08tap on this and press my pad off so it's
  1058. 46:11CC number 82 and I assign it so now
  1059. 46:16I can move to next section by just
  1060. 46:19tapping on my pedal
  1061. 46:21okay now I'm gonna talk about custom
  1062. 46:24translators so custom translators are
  1063. 46:27the foundational blocks of advanced midi
  1064. 46:30features or Advanced automation features
  1065. 46:32of Key Stage so I'll just cover a couple
  1066. 46:35of examples here there will be other
  1067. 46:37tutorial videos related to custom
  1068. 46:40translators but so uh what are custom
  1069. 46:43translators
  1070. 46:44as you can see these are standard
  1071. 46:47translators midi translators
  1072. 46:49where on Parts if you tap here on custom
  1073. 46:54translators there is this translators
  1074. 46:56with a plus sign here
  1075. 46:58if you tap on a track you have also have
  1076. 47:00the translators with plus sign here if
  1077. 47:04you tap on song properties here
  1078. 47:06are some other additional customizations
  1079. 47:08here that I'm going to talk about later
  1080. 47:10but you can also add translators here so
  1081. 47:12these are Trump's atriums that you
  1082. 47:14customize yourself for different
  1083. 47:16behaviors and there are some other parts
  1084. 47:18where you can add custom translators I'm
  1085. 47:20also going to talk about them later but
  1086. 47:23uh for now let me start with a custom
  1087. 47:26translator on this organ parts
  1088. 47:29now if I tap on this plus sign there is
  1089. 47:33this new menu popping up and in the
  1090. 47:37category section there's this custom
  1091. 47:39translators that you create yourself
  1092. 47:40here but the cool thing is now there is
  1093. 47:45a database of custom translators in the
  1094. 47:47database of key stage and I'll keep
  1095. 47:50improving this list this set of presets
  1096. 47:53preset custom translators that that will
  1097. 47:56be available to you and every time I
  1098. 47:57upload a new one it will automatically
  1099. 48:00upload it here so let's start by using
  1100. 48:03one of these ones and I'm gonna go ahead
  1101. 48:06and use one of these node translators
  1102. 48:09you can see these info buttons here
  1103. 48:11similar to these ones
  1104. 48:13these basically give you the description
  1105. 48:15of what this translator or translator
  1106. 48:18chain does so these are actual chains of
  1107. 48:21translators they they are actually
  1108. 48:22multiple translators working together
  1109. 48:24but let's choose this decimal one
  1110. 48:27staccato
  1111. 48:31so it's a simple translator it just
  1112. 48:34turns your controller into a staccato
  1113. 48:36and you can actually adjust the duration
  1114. 48:38here duration here
  1115. 48:40in milliseconds
  1116. 48:44and actually what happens here is
  1117. 48:47there's a script working behind this so
  1118. 48:49scripts is a new feature in key stage
  1119. 48:52and it's the most advanced feature
  1120. 48:55basically in Key Stage which allows you
  1121. 48:56to basically do anything with custom
  1122. 48:59translators
  1123. 49:00okay let's skip this so I can delete
  1124. 49:03custom translators here let's try
  1125. 49:06another one
  1126. 49:07again from node translator highest notes
  1127. 49:10okay this is a full set of translators
  1128. 49:14working together which is quite a
  1129. 49:16complicated one but what it does is
  1130. 49:20when I press a chord
  1131. 49:23it only plays the highest notes
  1132. 49:26so this actually works well with in
  1133. 49:29conjunction with other audio units
  1134. 49:30layered together
  1135. 49:34let's actually adjust the volumes of it
  1136. 49:37so if you can hear
  1137. 49:43when I play a chords only the highest
  1138. 49:46note of the chord is sent to the
  1139. 49:48Hammonds where the whole code is played
  1140. 49:51on auditor
  1141. 49:54foreign
  1142. 50:01so these are some examples of custom
  1143. 50:03translated presets let me create one for
  1144. 50:09a specific function here
  1145. 50:11for this audio player actually so let me
  1146. 50:14show you what you can do with custom
  1147. 50:15translators
  1148. 50:17the pose on this let me actually do this
  1149. 50:20on this track instead of the parts so I
  1150. 50:22tap on this track and I create a custom
  1151. 50:25translator instead of choosing one of
  1152. 50:27these preset ones I'm going to create
  1153. 50:28add a new custom translator now the
  1154. 50:31defaults a user interface of custom
  1155. 50:34translator looks like this which
  1156. 50:36actually changes when I make the changes
  1157. 50:38here so custom translators has inputs
  1158. 50:41and outputs so they trigger when the
  1159. 50:44input condition is met and the output is
  1160. 50:47whatever the output is it can be a midi
  1161. 50:49signal it can be a trigger so I want to
  1162. 50:52start this player by pressing a note on
  1163. 50:55my keyboards
  1164. 50:56I'm going to choose node here first
  1165. 50:59and as the outputs
  1166. 51:01when I tap output I have a bunch of
  1167. 51:04options here I can control the unit
  1168. 51:06volume by sending node signals a script
  1169. 51:10is like the the most advanced one but
  1170. 51:12there are these player events
  1171. 51:14and I place look at the player events
  1172. 51:17and it says start playing from left
  1173. 51:21locator now some additional options
  1174. 51:24shows up here I should options change
  1175. 51:26here and so I don't want to start
  1176. 51:30playing with with any notes that I play
  1177. 51:32I just want to assign a specific note
  1178. 51:34for that function so the node trigger
  1179. 51:38range
  1180. 51:39I'm going to choose assign this Note 3
  1181. 51:42range to a single note so I pressed on
  1182. 51:44this
  1183. 51:45press and auto assign the lower range
  1184. 51:47I'm just gonna press the lowest note on
  1185. 51:49my keyboard and do the same thing with
  1186. 51:51this
  1187. 51:53okay now the problem is it doesn't work
  1188. 51:57the reason is okay let's try to find
  1189. 51:59what the reason is if I open the midi
  1190. 52:02monitor so the player unit track doesn't
  1191. 52:04receive animated signals because its
  1192. 52:06input is not connected so you need to
  1193. 52:08connect my keyboards to this track first
  1194. 52:12but now
  1195. 52:15every time I press the notes it starts
  1196. 52:18from the left locator let's go ahead and
  1197. 52:21create another one I'm gonna assign the
  1198. 52:24next node
  1199. 52:25uh to stop playing again
  1200. 52:30assign its
  1201. 52:34range here
  1202. 52:38so F0 stops playing
  1203. 52:41and e0 starts playing
  1204. 52:48so using this custom translator I can
  1205. 52:50automate the transport controls of this
  1206. 52:53audio player
  1207. 52:55okay I'm gonna show one more example
  1208. 52:57actually two more examples
  1209. 53:00let me delete these translators
  1210. 53:02and in order to show these examples I
  1211. 53:05need to go to another place
  1212. 53:07I need to go to the midi connections you
  1213. 53:10can actually add translators directly to
  1214. 53:13input connections or input aliases in
  1215. 53:17key stages terminology so media aliases
  1216. 53:20not eliasis aliases
  1217. 53:23are placeholders for your midi
  1218. 53:26connections
  1219. 53:27which which contains some additional
  1220. 53:29information so there is a whole section
  1221. 53:32about media aliases where we can do lots
  1222. 53:34of customizations about media aliases
  1223. 53:36but I'm just going to show a basic
  1224. 53:38example here
  1225. 53:39so when I tap select me to put LSU to
  1226. 53:43edits you can see that I I have all
  1227. 53:45these midi connections so keystage
  1228. 53:48basically sees all the limited
  1229. 53:50connections as midi aliases
  1230. 53:52so these have additional information so
  1231. 53:55I choose my North Electro and I tap edit
  1232. 53:58input alias
  1233. 54:00I'm not going to go all the details
  1234. 54:02about this but an input address can have
  1235. 54:05multiple inputs actually I have only
  1236. 54:07Singleton inputs the important part for
  1237. 54:10me here is I can add translators here as
  1238. 54:12well so what I want to do here is I want
  1239. 54:16to for my node keyboards
  1240. 54:19assign a button here
  1241. 54:21let's midi learn the button
  1242. 54:24I want to assign this button a special
  1243. 54:26events
  1244. 54:28panic button
  1245. 54:29so panic button basically mutes all the
  1246. 54:31sounds and everything
  1247. 54:33so if something happens with the with
  1248. 54:37the connections and you you got stuck
  1249. 54:39notes you might want to have a panic
  1250. 54:41button in your hand so
  1251. 54:45as soon as I press that button all the
  1252. 54:48sound just goes away
  1253. 54:50so you can customize your keyboards your
  1254. 54:53your inputs
  1255. 54:54the way you want and this applies
  1256. 54:57everywhere it just applies to this node
  1257. 55:00keyboard it applies in all songs
  1258. 55:02everywhere this translator universally
  1259. 55:04works on on this node keyboard now and
  1260. 55:08one more place that I want to assign is
  1261. 55:11so I'm I'm kind of jumping from place to
  1262. 55:14place but these are all explained in
  1263. 55:16detail in the menu I'm just giving some
  1264. 55:18examples here so in the audio settings
  1265. 55:20we have lots of settings here
  1266. 55:22but you can actually
  1267. 55:24choose audio units and assign add
  1268. 55:27translators to these audio units here so
  1269. 55:30specifically to Hammond's app there is
  1270. 55:33actually an translator that I want to
  1271. 55:35add
  1272. 55:36and let me show you why I want to do
  1273. 55:38that first
  1274. 55:39I deleted those translators okay so in
  1275. 55:42in the Hammonds app and actually in many
  1276. 55:45organ simulator simulator apps the
  1277. 55:48lowest the lower registers in your
  1278. 55:50keyboard
  1279. 55:51changes your drawbar settings
  1280. 55:55completely
  1281. 55:57so this can be a useful feature but it
  1282. 56:00can also be a problematic feature you
  1283. 56:03don't want to accidentally change the
  1284. 56:05whole robot setting by pressing on the
  1285. 56:07note by mistake so I want to disable
  1286. 56:10this I want to disable this feature of
  1287. 56:12hemins from Key Stage
  1288. 56:15so I choose the Hammonds app as you can
  1289. 56:18see you can control which parameters are
  1290. 56:20available and things like that there are
  1291. 56:22some other additional customizations
  1292. 56:24here I'm skipping them but
  1293. 56:26here are translators and here I can add
  1294. 56:29translators
  1295. 56:31I'm again going to choose notes and I'm
  1296. 56:35gonna choose nothing for the output I'm
  1297. 56:37just going to mute certain notes I know
  1298. 56:40that all the notes below b0 controls
  1299. 56:45those drawbar cases so
  1300. 56:48so right now let me show you this way
  1301. 56:51the translator is active I'm pressing
  1302. 56:54those notes that I was controlling the
  1303. 56:56drawbar presets and it's not working but
  1304. 57:00if I disable this custom translator
  1305. 57:02those buttons now control the driver
  1306. 57:05settings I don't want that I just want
  1307. 57:07to disable them so I activate this and
  1308. 57:09now those keys will not trigger drawbar
  1309. 57:12settings and the cool thing is that it
  1310. 57:14works for all Hammond instances so if I
  1311. 57:17even if I multiple heml instances
  1312. 57:21those keys will not trigger the helmets
  1313. 57:24presets so there's a couple of examples
  1314. 57:27to use custom translators there are lots
  1315. 57:29and lots of users but uh this is just a
  1316. 57:33simple summary of that
  1317. 57:35okay the last part that I want to talk
  1318. 57:36about is this live console
  1319. 57:39now live console has different parts
  1320. 57:42different units actually different
  1321. 57:43active units
  1322. 57:45which can be selected here
  1323. 57:47the standard active unit is this unit
  1324. 57:49which simply shows
  1325. 57:52the overall overall structure of your
  1326. 57:55parts tracks
  1327. 57:56the song volume is here there is this
  1328. 57:58transport transpose control a global
  1329. 58:01transpose control that transpose control
  1330. 58:03is actually this transverse control here
  1331. 58:06but let's say we had some splits and
  1332. 58:11layerings here
  1333. 58:12let me quickly
  1334. 58:14create one
  1335. 58:17suppose we have a
  1336. 58:21a bunch of
  1337. 58:22ranges here
  1338. 58:26and if I go to the live console you can
  1339. 58:29see all the layerings and how they are
  1340. 58:32actually lined up with each other on
  1341. 58:36this uh info units so the active unit
  1342. 58:39here is info units and when you play
  1343. 58:41your keyboards
  1344. 58:42you can see
  1345. 58:45uh the notes here so you can actually
  1346. 58:47track whether you're in in a region or
  1347. 58:51not
  1348. 58:52so this is info units uh you can add
  1349. 58:55some notes Here for yourself
  1350. 58:58well the thing is each section
  1351. 59:02for each section you can choose one of
  1352. 59:05the five units so for example for
  1353. 59:07Section 3 I can choose an XY control
  1354. 59:09units
  1355. 59:11and for section one I can choose name uh
  1356. 59:14media units which I'm going to talk
  1357. 59:16about soon
  1358. 59:17so as I move through sections those
  1359. 59:20those units becomes activated
  1360. 59:23and for the last section I can for
  1361. 59:25example choose lyrics so yeah you can
  1362. 59:27actually write lyrics here
  1363. 59:29and I'm not going to go into the details
  1364. 59:32of all these active units there's a
  1365. 59:34specific one that I want to talk about
  1366. 59:35which is the media units
  1367. 59:38the media units has the feature to show
  1368. 59:42PDF and GPX files as well as
  1369. 59:45the user interfaces of your audio units
  1370. 59:48either effects instruments so let's say
  1371. 59:51on section two I want to just show the
  1372. 59:54user interface of my module Pro
  1373. 59:56or on section one
  1374. 59:59I moved to Media units activate media
  1375. 1:00:02units suppose I want to show helmets and
  1376. 1:00:04one of the helmets so you can see there
  1377. 1:00:06are two helmets here
  1378. 1:00:08and you can see you can I can either
  1379. 1:00:10choose the elements on uh track four or
  1380. 1:00:13track nine
  1381. 1:00:15but let's talk about this PDF and GPA
  1382. 1:00:18files this is probably the most common
  1383. 1:00:19use for the media files for the media
  1384. 1:00:22units so in order to do that I need to
  1385. 1:00:25import a PDF file
  1386. 1:00:27and I have this available in my Dropbox
  1387. 1:00:31account
  1388. 1:00:32so if I go to accounts
  1389. 1:00:37I actually put it into the offline files
  1390. 1:00:41I'm gonna share this
  1391. 1:00:44send a copy of the file
  1392. 1:00:47to
  1393. 1:00:49key stage
  1394. 1:00:52so it's uploaded again into the media
  1395. 1:00:56folder so back to the live console
  1396. 1:01:01now if I go here
  1397. 1:01:03I can choose the PDF file
  1398. 1:01:06I can reposition it the way I want
  1399. 1:01:11and the cool thing is
  1400. 1:01:13the position uh the scroll amount the
  1401. 1:01:16zoom amount all of them are stored on
  1402. 1:01:19this section
  1403. 1:01:20so suppose on another section
  1404. 1:01:22I again choose the media units
  1405. 1:01:25I choose the same PDF file I can have
  1406. 1:01:28multiple PDF files by the way and
  1407. 1:01:30suppose I choose this part of
  1408. 1:01:33the PDF file on here on section two we
  1409. 1:01:36are on a different part so these are
  1410. 1:01:38stored on on sections
  1411. 1:01:41uh
  1412. 1:01:43well there is a files menu which I
  1413. 1:01:45haven't talked about yet
  1414. 1:01:47well this is the place where you
  1415. 1:01:49you know manage your files create your
  1416. 1:01:52songs so we are still on a new song so I
  1417. 1:01:55want to save this as in as a song
  1418. 1:02:03so this is now saved as a demo song
  1419. 1:02:07here so you can create folders here
  1420. 1:02:10let's say covers
  1421. 1:02:13and you can select the song Move oh
  1422. 1:02:17sorry active song Can't Be Moved so I
  1423. 1:02:19first need to
  1424. 1:02:21create a new song
  1425. 1:02:23shouldn't be the active song so I choose
  1426. 1:02:25the more song Move
  1427. 1:02:28select cover open move here
  1428. 1:02:31or you can move copy multiple items yeah
  1429. 1:02:34so these parts are kind of
  1430. 1:02:37self-explanatory one thing that I want
  1431. 1:02:40to talk about here so there's a media
  1432. 1:02:42folder here
  1433. 1:02:44uh in this menu when you double tap
  1434. 1:02:48on any item
  1435. 1:02:50either a folder or a song Whatever
  1436. 1:02:53this function here on the top right
  1437. 1:02:57corner is automatically applied so for
  1438. 1:03:00songs it loads the song when I double
  1439. 1:03:01tap on it
  1440. 1:03:04so this song is now loaded from the
  1441. 1:03:06beginning
  1442. 1:03:08or if I selected this set list for
  1443. 1:03:11example it turns into open when I double
  1444. 1:03:14tap it it just opens this uh the set
  1445. 1:03:17list so in the media folder I have audio
  1446. 1:03:19files PDF GPX files so these are the
  1447. 1:03:22original positions of these files so if
  1448. 1:03:24I double tap on this I can just read the
  1449. 1:03:27PDF file here or if I go to audio files
  1450. 1:03:31recordings not recording sorry imported
  1451. 1:03:34files
  1452. 1:03:35this is the song
  1453. 1:03:37[Music]
  1454. 1:03:39so you can preview all your media files
  1455. 1:03:41here
  1456. 1:03:42uh what else
  1457. 1:03:45you can
  1458. 1:03:47share your files
  1459. 1:03:49all your files including your media
  1460. 1:03:52files
  1461. 1:03:53your recordings everything can be
  1462. 1:03:55shareable using these share buttons
  1463. 1:03:58uh there is this Global purposes this is
  1464. 1:04:01a special file in Key Stage this
  1465. 1:04:04contains all your global settings
  1466. 1:04:07basically all the settings that you do
  1467. 1:04:09here in preferences all your settings
  1468. 1:04:11that all your settings that you do in
  1469. 1:04:14your audio units your media aliases
  1470. 1:04:16everything
  1471. 1:04:18so this is your Global properties you
  1472. 1:04:20you can also share this you can save
  1473. 1:04:22this remotely in a server or or in your
  1474. 1:04:25computer
  1475. 1:04:26and there is this
  1476. 1:04:28new feature before I talk about new
  1477. 1:04:31feature the delete function has changed
  1478. 1:04:34from the previous version now that there
  1479. 1:04:37won't be a delete button here you won't
  1480. 1:04:39see a deletes button here instead you
  1481. 1:04:42swipe left
  1482. 1:04:43and tap deletes
  1483. 1:04:45and this swipe gesture actually works in
  1484. 1:04:47many places in Key Stage so it also
  1485. 1:04:52works on custom translators it also
  1486. 1:04:55works on this midi monitor you swipe to
  1487. 1:04:57remove things so this is a general
  1488. 1:04:59gesture that you use in Key Stage
  1489. 1:05:01okay what other thing create full backup
  1490. 1:05:04file so this is also a new feature in
  1491. 1:05:062.1
  1492. 1:05:10once you create a full backup file it
  1493. 1:05:13contains everything all your media files
  1494. 1:05:16all your song files all your set list
  1495. 1:05:18files there so you can actually create
  1496. 1:05:20set lists in key stage but I I I'm just
  1497. 1:05:23going to skip that in this tutorial
  1498. 1:05:24video
  1499. 1:05:25so this is a convenient new feature to
  1500. 1:05:28save your stuff save your song save your
  1501. 1:05:31settings
  1502. 1:05:33the last thing that I'm going to talk
  1503. 1:05:35about is this Dynamic properties this is
  1504. 1:05:39one of the last features that I added in
  1505. 1:05:412.1
  1506. 1:05:42now Dynamic properties means properties
  1507. 1:05:45that change from section to section
  1508. 1:05:48so Dynamic volumes Dynamic fan Dynamics
  1509. 1:05:50sense these are active by default as you
  1510. 1:05:53know
  1511. 1:05:54for example if I disable Dynamic volume
  1512. 1:05:57and these are stored in songs because
  1513. 1:05:59it's in song properties so you can have
  1514. 1:06:01different Dynamic properties option in
  1515. 1:06:03different songs
  1516. 1:06:04so for this song I disable Dynamic
  1517. 1:06:06volume and now
  1518. 1:06:08if I go to parameters
  1519. 1:06:10the volume slider just went away from
  1520. 1:06:13track parameters
  1521. 1:06:15so I cannot change the volume
  1522. 1:06:16dynamically from part to part I can no
  1523. 1:06:18longer do that and in fact if I go to
  1524. 1:06:20the song mixer these active buttons just
  1525. 1:06:23went away I cannot actively change the I
  1526. 1:06:26cannot actively change the volume from
  1527. 1:06:28part to part my changes here are just
  1528. 1:06:31stored on the track instead and are just
  1529. 1:06:34permanent
  1530. 1:06:35it cannot be dynamically changed from
  1531. 1:06:37section to section they're just stable
  1532. 1:06:39so you can you can change which
  1533. 1:06:42properties are Dynamic which properties
  1534. 1:06:44are not from here and there are lots of
  1535. 1:06:46options here for example a new feature
  1536. 1:06:49is song volume now the song volume can
  1537. 1:06:51be dynamic
  1538. 1:06:52now if you go to the sections here now
  1539. 1:06:56you have a dynamic active song volume
  1540. 1:06:58that can be changed from section to
  1541. 1:07:00section
  1542. 1:07:01so if I go to song mixer here now I have
  1543. 1:07:04another active person on the song mixer
  1544. 1:07:06if I change from section section as you
  1545. 1:07:08can see the volume changes now
  1546. 1:07:10and you can see now it's not active I
