MPC 2002-11-05 10:57 pm I don't think I'm an idiot, but I don't understand the MPC at all. I don't understand the numbers, the Sweep Resolution, the Time offset and especially the values I have to fill in all of these. Can anyone give me a crash course? I can't be that difficult I hope...

Re: MPC Reply #1 – 2002-11-06 02:05 am Hi Jesse,Pick up the NWC Command Summary, a lovely book written by Barry Graham and edited by Richard Woodroffe for V1.7x. It contains a step-by-step tutorial on using mpc's in the Appendix. The entire book (or just sections) can be downloaded for free from The Scriptorium - Documentation page. Quote Selected
Re: MPC Reply #2 – 2002-11-06 08:37 am Thanks you for that, Fred, but I can't seem to open them for some reason. Can you tell me one thing, based on a simple example. Let's say you have 4 bars (all 4/4) with 4 chords in them (whole note each). What is the simplest way (I'll find out from there) to put some sort of sound-altering on them with the help of MPC? Where do I put the first one, where do I put the second one, etc. and what values do I put in each of them? You would help me a great deal. Thanks again. Quote Selected
Re: MPC Reply #3 – 2002-11-06 09:38 pm I'm in the same boat. I just can never get the MPC to do what I want it to do. I added a "graphical MPC" to the Noteworthy wishlist, but then I realized it's probably a programming nightmare. Don't think such a feature will ever get implemented. Quote Selected
Re: MPC Reply #4 – 2002-11-07 09:37 pm The finer points of mpc operation are sometimes soundcard dependent. To get the feel of what a particular mpc does on your system, first try it with a really drastic change (do _not_ use "linear sweep"), e.g. for a tempo mpc try doubling or halving the tempo at an arbitrary point, for a volume mpc set the second point to zero, for a pitch bend go from zero to max. Once you know what the limits are, you can refine the instruction to get what you want. As with any worthwhile endeavour, there are no shortcuts to learning.Bob Quote Selected
