Welcome to the MED Command section


Med Command 01: Slide pitch up
 
Can only be used on Samples and Synthsounds

Explanation
This command is used to slide the desired note upwards in pitch and then holds the end note,

what does it do?
This command is used to add colour to your music, not all notes in your song are just played as they are, getting this colour means performing little tricks to get different sounds and effects from that note. Sliding is a good example from getting from one note to another thus adding some colour to it. Imagine a vocalist singing in a mono type voice just going from one note to another without using that space in-between! their voice would sound rather dull. This is where these little tricks come into play.
 
The Command parameters:
 
Position             Note                        Inst CMD   Value 1 Value 2
 
All values are represented by HEX numbers, allowed parameters for both values are from 00 to FF
 
Value 1 of this command represents the initial speed of the slide up, lower values equal slower slides and higher values equals faster speeds. The 2nd value is used to fine tune the speed in-between the two Notes. unlike 03 this command is independent of another note and when the slide up has reach its final note, it will continue to replay at that pitch until the note is either switched off or changed by another note.
 
How to use
Insert the Note you wish to start from say as the example note, then drag and highlight to where you wish the slide up to end on that track. Then go to Tools in the Menu and select Generate slides
select [01] slide up and then enter the the start values and the end values for the slide up. click the generate slide button to insert the finished command.
 
To insert the command in by hand you will have to make the Note continue by pressing the Enter key with the cursor positioned in the Note part of the Track and continue to press the Enter key until you reach the desired ending position of the Slide up. U will notice that a -|- has been place instead of a Note, this tells you that the Slide up will continue till the end of the -|- and finish. There is no need to re-enter the Inst and CMD as this will be carried forward. You can however change any of the two values to get a different effect though.
 
The command slide up is useful for bringing lower octave samples upwards and downwards for that dramatic effect. beware that this command will stop suddenly if the speed (Value 1) is to quick
