1. Open your midi in a MIDI

1. Open your midi in a MIDI editor of your choice* Option B) View the MIDI in Piano Roll mode, you should see a visualization of the notes instead of a list. Find the note you want to modify, right click it and select Note Properties. You'll usually get a box that lets you change stuff like note position, note length, channel, pitch, and velocity. Obviously, we want to make the note louder so go ahead and mess with the velocity. Option B is probably easier if you're doing this for the first time. *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MIDI_editors_and_sequencers |
That's a great explanation,

That's a great explanation, Kiku, but I'm afraid that's what he said he *doesn't* want to do. MIDI has a "volume" control, which is CC#7. That's distinct from "velocity", which is how hard an individual note is hit. You want to change CC#7 over time. Some MIDI-based stuff has its own special way of doing this. For example, in Garritan Personal Orchestra, you can do volume swells using the mod wheel on your keyboard (which is CC#1, so you can program it just like you can program CC#7). In Logic Pro, you can pick the "Touch" setting above the volume fader, then slide the fader with the mouse (or a MIDI controller), and it'll record the volume movements you entered. I don't know which software you're using, but you can usually record it this way, or use a mouse and draw in lines.

Thanks to both of you, I think you pointed me to the right direction. If I understand correctly, I need some kind device to supply additional information about midi (CC == Continuous Controllers? excuse me for sounding like a total noob which I actually am, I have to learn more about this one day...)

My bad, shouldn't post right

My bad, shouldn't post right after waking up. :P This might be me misunderstanding again, but are you sure about CC#7 being what OP is looking for? If he's trying to change the dynamics of a single note, wouldn't CC#11 be the appropriate controller event for GM? I was under the impression that CC#7 was the global track volume and CC#11 was used to adjust notes for stuff like volume swells. Well, for conventional GM of course. @OP |

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if someone more experienced in the matters of midi manipulation and related stuff would be able to help me with this issue I came across a few days ago. What I would like to do is change the volume of the played note during the time it sounds (i.e. not in setting it constant in the beginning). So far I learned about the velocity controller which controls not only the volume but the overall "strength" of the tone and I suppose there must be some kind of option to manipulate the sound of the tone in other ways as well.
