I'm looking for a really good flugelhorn sound. I've been able to get close by using the trumpet and adding heavy reverb but it just isn't the same. Can anyone offer suggestions?
Just curious. I've been toying with the tremolo depth in the mpc and I was wondering if there are recommended settings that correlate to the note durations. In other words, if you set the depth at 512 for an eighth note should it be 1024 for a quarter note or 768 for an eighth tied to a sixteenth? And, can the depth be adjusted by using custom note velocities?
Actually, I posted the wrong file. Please accept my apologies. The file I intended to post isn't even showing up in my song folder. More hoops to jump through now. I'll post the right file when I find it. Sorry again.
I'm back groveling for help... I'm having trouble doing what I want with the attached file. Specifically, the 2nd ending (which is closed) at measure 25 works just fine with the DS al Segno. But the 2nd time it gets back to that measure I want it to jump ahead to the open 3rd ending. I'm sure there is a simple answer but I'm having cranial flatulence here. Can someone help?
As an afterthought, I know how to create custom guitar chords but I've never figured out how to save them or to save a grouping of them, e.g: a grouping of diminished chords per key or sustained chords. Can you step me through that? Also how do I get written chord names to actually become playable chords?/color]
I've seen this flow direction before. For "NWC Playback Purposes" is there a way to cause this to occur during playback without having to string the first two verses end-to-end?
For whatever reason I'm losing my string section (the green stave) at the 2nd ending of the attached song. Can anybody explain why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Suddenly when I hit my F5 Play button it goes back all the way to begin playing at measure #1. It used to playback from whichever measure my cursor was in. Can I get it that way again?
Hello friends. I just finished something I'm sort of proud of. It's the best thing I've done so far at least. It's the full score of the iconic Led Zeppelin song Stairway to Heaven. If you like it feel free to lift it. Any comments or suggestions are also welcome.
I've noticed on string quartet scores there are little marks above some notes that I had to look up to understand their meaning. There is a Sull'arco symbol which looks like a small 'v' and indicates an up bow movement, and a Giu arco symbol which looks like an upside down non-rounded U and indicates a down bow movement. I haven't been able to find anything in NWC to duplicate this. For playback purposes it's probably unnecessary but, are there such symbols in NWC?
Thank you gentlemen, you've provided a lot of information. Just so I understand, are you saying by adding an invisible 2/2 signature after the 4/4 the NWC automatic beam command would give me one group of four 8th notes? Ans if so, how do I make said time signature invisible?
I've noticed that while I'm copying scores from American sheet music into NWC format I'll often get a series of four consecutive 8th notes all beamed together. But when I use the NWC automatic beam command it usually splits them up into two sets of two. Is this a standard rule everywhere or just a convenient American way to save space inside a measure by squeezing beamed notes closer together?
Thanks. I'm using Windows 10 and routing a Roland VE-500 Vocal Harmonizer and an Iconnectivity headphone amplifier to my Carvin PA. I got the Roland VE-500 because it was the only harmonizer I could find that can work by detecting the MIDI output data vs. a musical instrument input such as a guitar or keyboard.
I'm trying to playback MIDI files converted from NWC files through my PA for upcoming live performances but whenever I hit the NWC 'play' button I get no audio and the subject error message appears. This seems to be a ommon problem with MIDI files but I haven't found a solution that works. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a solution? I'm using Windows 10.
Thank you both. This was an eye opener for me Rick G. I hadn't even considered using the MPC Volume utility. By setting it to zero prior to the Master Repeat Open then setting back to 127 just before the Master Repeat Close I got exactly what I wanted. You guys are geniuses!
Thank you sir. I'm getting closer. It's the same old mapping/flow direction problem with me. I figured out that I needed to make the 2nd ending OPEN to get it to go to the chorus. And I put a TO CODA then a CODA after that chorus. But I still have something haywire because the 3r verse gets skipped. I want the mapping to be Intro-Verse 1- Verse 2-Chorus-Verse 3-Chrorus-Out. I'm thinking I might need a DS al Segno after the 1st chorus to play the 3rd verse? I've attached my current arrangement. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am self taught and learning as I go here. :-)
I remember older versions of NWC had an additional program called "Noteworthy Player." I never used it but I might need it now because I need to export my nwc files to midi type 1 files in order for my vocalizer to recognize the midi chords and add live harmony when I perform. But I want the midi file to scroll across the screen just like the nwc files do. So my question is, will the midi file open and play within the nwc program just like the nwc files do?
Hi all. I just wanted to share something I happened upon while scoring. We all know that we are imperfect. Even the tightest bands can't replicate the perfection of MIDI notes. So, if desired, you an place a 1/32nd or 1/64th grace note before a standard note or chord to replicate this imperfection. It also gives the accompaniment a little "thickness." I've found this to be especially pleasant with percussion parts. Just an FYI.

Is it possible to create custom staff sets? For instance, if I want a staff set to include a "lead vocal", "backup vocal", "treble & bass clef keyboard", "guitar 1", "guitar 2", "strings", "brass", "top & bottom percussion" without having to recreate them for every song, how might I accomplish this?
Is it possible to purchase 3rd party sound fonts or even entire banks of sound fonts and be able to access them from inside NWC2? And if so, does anybody have suggestions for reasonably priced vendors of same? Also, I've lost my keyboard midi-input on the bottom of the screen and can't find how to get it back.
