So a finger snap or a clap you’ve recorded can be turned into a beat from an 808 kit, or a drum beat can become an acoustic bass or piano line. But if you don’t have your own MIDI instruments, you can also use some of our on-board sounds in BandLab to change the instrumentation. The BandLab MIDI editor will automatically detect when a MIDI device like a keyboard or a pad controller is connected. You can stretch them, change their velocity or even delete them altogether. MIDI also makes it much easier to change the sounds you create. Bingo (or should that be Ringo?)-you’ve got music in perfect time. This makes them far more manageable. And now that same level of control is available on the BandLab web MIDI Editor.įor example, our web MIDI Editor has a built-in quantization tool, which allows you to select an individual beat or sound-or a whole group of them-then choose where on the grid you’d like them to fall (as 1/4 notes, 1/8th notes, etc.). That’s because it breaks sounds down into pieces of easy-to-edit information (symbolised by a small square or rectangle), rather than waves. Or at least know how far ahead or behind the beat you are. Unless you’re blessed with one of those incredible internal metronomes that some people have, you probably have to rely on a real metronome or a click track to make sure you’re playing in time. But it does illustrate a point that’s true for almost any musician (not just drummers): keeping time isn’t easy. Hey, we didn’t say it was a good joke, we just said it was an old one. There’s an old musician’s joke that goes: “Q: How do you know when there’s a drummer at the door? A: The knock speeds up!” BandLab introduces a web MIDI Editor-giving you even greater control of your music.
