here is an archived solution to a former problem. Below the solution is another problem of my own in attempting the solution. Anyone with expertise on this?
>>>I have created a number of "one note wonder" mixes, in which different notes play chords, so i can more easily grab a chord with my left hand while soloing with my right. Each note for each separate chord will use up one of the 16 parts of your Mix, so you're in a sense limited to 16 total "voices" if you will. Assign your sound to one of your channels, set the key range to one note, and adjust the pitch of the key to the correct note. Layer additional sounds onto that same key, adjusting the pitch of each Mix part to the correct interval, etc. You may want to edit some of the individual Programs to use less than 4 sounds if you run into voice-stealing because your chords are too thick.>>>
end of archived post (1999) I have applied this practice but have run into the wall. Here's my scenario: left hand plays a bass line on the qS8.1, G, F#, e,etc while the right hand plays a different synth (k2000) and solo (as mentioned in your piece above-more easily grab a chord with my left hand while soloing with my right.-- Im putting strings above the bass, the layered chords would be Gmajor, F# minor, eminor, etc, and Ive got the layered part-assigning the key range to one note two octave above. But I cant get more than perfect octaves; no third or fifth in the desired chord.
So the question is this: how do I change the layered notes pitches? DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? I think this is a great idea and the only one I saw in the entire archive of alesis for this matter
