I wanted to raise the velocity of upbeats in a song in 3/2. there is a preset that does this for 4/4, and I am trying to adapt it. I see that 1410-450 is 960 so the next beat would be that added to 1410 = 2370. Likewise, 1470+960=2430. So it seems that those be the outside margins for beat 5, or 6. And the scheme shows the 6 boxes representing beats with the 2 & 4 accented. but I can’t get the parameter to just have a whole number. I just put it as the first place. If I put in the last place it breaks into beats and subbeats., as in 2nd picture. In the 1st picture you can see that it did raise the off beat of 1 and 3, when applied. If I add 2 to make it 5.3 then it put it after beat 1 and raises the one after the upbeat as well. It seems it just can’t realize it is 3/2 or 6/4, even though it shows the beat boxes. Anyone think this is possible?
First of all - these presets seem to be made with an older version of Cubase and produce a mish mash when modified with C14.
The original entries of the preset display values in ticks (possibly with 480 ticks per quarter note). Any new line you add will display the value in Bars.Beats.16th.Ticks
With Cubase default settings there are 120 ticks in a 16th value. So basically 450 would equal 0.0.3.90, 510 is 0.0.4.30
In the five minutes checking out what you wrote on my install, I have already found a bug with setting up values when the time signature is 3/2, as per your example. I will try to write this down nicely tomorrow, after a good night’s rest.
It’s not your fault.
So, tomorrow is today.
For people not knowing it yet: Cubase shows musical positions like this
1.3.2.80
First number is bars, then beats (depending on the current time signature), then 16ths and last is ticks (depending on the PPQ setting in the preferences).
When working on a x/2 time signature, ie. every measure is divided into two beats, the “Inside Bar Range” of the Logical Editor runs into a problem.
If you define a measure to comprise of two beats, then there must be eight 16ths in each beat. So the highest position in a measure is x.2.8.119 (with PPQ=480).
Please reply with “Beetlejuice” if you are reading this, because I bet I have lost everybody at this point.
The Logical Editor’s positions when using “Inside Bar Range” kind of allow you to enter such a value but as soon as you edit the position LE makes it a mess.
Also note: Inside Bar Range works with offsets. Ie. whatever value you have for parameter 1 and 2 will be added to the actual song position. So the smallest value is 0.0.0.0 (nothing is added), the highest is x.1…7.119
Beetlejuice. Thanks for looking into this. I found a simple way to trick Cubase into doing what I wanted, which may also apply to a more complicated thing I was trying to do in another thread. If any interest I will post.
