General Discussion / Problems with recording from MIDI keyboard
Windows XP with service pack 2
NWC version 1.75b
Casio CTK-601 keyboard
MidiSport Uno interface
Problems:
1) If I play a series of, say, quarter notes separated by quarter rests, NWC will record them as dotted quarters with eighth rests, or maybe doubledotted with sixteenth rests.
2) If I play a chord with a slow arpeggio, NWC will terminate each note when the following note begins, even though the first key is still depressed.
3) As (2) implies, if I play a composition of say three voices, any time I press a key in any voice, that cuts off any notes being held in other voices. I end up with a bunch of short notes, not sustained voices.
Any advice out there? I have searched the site, don't find these things discussed.
More broadly: Some material I did find suggests that NWC is not good at this sort of recording. Can anyone suggest an alternative product, especially a free one? Also point me to any areas I need to read up on; all this is strictly new to me. In case it helps you visualize what I need, my project is this: There is an elderly lady here who neither reads nor writes music, but she is a composer and has some good material. I want to get it down as a written score.
Many thanks.
