Time for action—adding harmonies to beats
Now that our new instrument is in the Beat+Bassline Editor, let's make it say something. Instead of just droning along on the same note, we want to have each step change pitch:
- Right-click on the steps' area, and choose Open in piano-roll:
- Now let's find the pitch of our notes, which are playing the new instrument:
- The note pitch is A4. Let's move these notes around a bit by clicking and holding on them, then dragging them to the positions we want:
- Now hit the Space bar, and we'll hear the new pitches playing back.
- We should now add additional notes above these notes we've just moved around. Place the following notes on our Piano-Roll by clicking in Piano-Roll with the pencil:
- Hit the Space bar to listen to the new notes in the Piano-Roll editor.
- Now, close the Piano-Roll and click again on the Beat+Bassline Editor. Hit the Space bar, and listen to where our new instrument plays now.
