The "Rough Draft"

So, i have a lot to cover here, both the things i did yesterday in class and what i accomplished today with Stephen.  Yesterday, after Jason's presentation on mastering, i worked on getting the MIDI data which i had exported from Finale for the ukulele sampler to play to sound right, since the uke sampler has different samples it plays depending on the velocity, and the velocities from the Finale MIDI were all wrong.  Once i got that sounding right, i started playing around with effects on the uke samples, to see if there was anything interesting i could do.  I still wanted to mainly stick with the basic sound of the ukulele, but i also really like the effects of the LFO, and tried to mess around with the options for the LFO in NN-XT to get some cool ideas.  What i eventually came up with was a delayed LFO effect on the velocity of the uke samples.  This way the sound of the uke in the first part of our piece is unaffected, because of the delay, but then at the end of this first part, when the last chord is held out, the LFO begins to take effect, and this is shown of more in the second part, which also shows off the synthesizer and some of the different pieces that Logan and Stephen have come up with for that.  Stephen and i worked on that today, laying out the different pieces of recorded MIDI so that we will have a rough draft of our piece to show tomorrow, and to showcase our two instruments.  Also, i put the finishing touches on the LFO effects for the sampler.
