Fiddle Parts 2004-04-18 02:34 am I am trying to achieve an authentic fiddle sound in some of my compositions. If I just enter the notes, it doesn't sound like a fiddle, because the very essence of fiddle playing is bending the notes. I have attempted to produce this sound by using grace notes and by adjusting the rythm patterns. The results sound mechanical and do not achieve the results I am looking for.I have been quite unsuccessful in using multipoint controls to do this, as I don't know enough about the cause ans effect of the controls. It seems over my head.Does anyone know a good way to reproduce a fiddle sound? Quote Selected
Re: Fiddle Parts Reply #1 – 2004-04-18 02:50 pm You're on the right track using the MPCs.It will probably take more experimentation to achieve satisfactory results.Some days, it takes 5-10 minutes to get what I want - other days, it never happens... Quote Selected
Re: Fiddle Parts Reply #2 – 2004-04-20 03:03 pm The MPC to use is "pitch bend".For Fiddle double-stops, try usinga separate MIDI channel for eachstring. That way, one can have an"open" string stay at pitch, whilea second note is being "pitch-bent." Quote Selected
