It's all coming together
So, after getting the looped ukulele samples to work in NN-XT, i spent some time fiddling with the different settings available, and plan to still do so a bit tomorrow, but after consulting with Logan, we both decided that we really liked the original sound of the ukulele, and to not change it much. The main change that i did make was to slow the release of the notes, so that they would hold over a little after my fingers left the keys, like a real ukulele would. The other main thing which i did was go into Finale and work out a basic little ukulele tune to show off what the sampler patch i have created is capable of. I plan to mesh this with the other recordings which Logan and Stephen have been working on, so that we can have a neat little bit of music which shows off each instrument alone and then together. The main issue with the MIDI data extracted from Finale is the velocity of the notes. I did not pay attention to the velocity i was using while composing, but it is actually integral to creating the sound i want, since the ukulele sampler has options for soft and hard plucked notes. I need to see if i can find a way to go into said MIDI data tomorrow during class and edit these so as to make the sound i want.
