Chapter 10. Working with Note Events
As we work with Bitwig Studio to assemble music, there are two forms of source material that we can use. One form is audio events, which was covered thoroughly in the last chapter. The other isnote events — or simply notes — which we will investigate in this chapter. As the introduction to the last chapter suggested, these two chapters are really parts one and two of working with the contents of clips. Accordingly, the format of this chapter is highly similar to the previous one, with many of the same issues and concerns being presented from the perspective of notes. And consistent with the rest of this document, ideas that reappear will reference the section where they were first discussed. We will begin by revisiting the Detail Editor Panel to see how it works with note events, as well as the vast per-note modulation capabilities of Bitwig Studio. We then will see the last face of this panel as it allows us to work with multiple clips and tracks simultaneously. And after revisiting the Inspector Panel in the context of notes, we will take a look at the Edit View, the third and final panel set. Let's sharpen our tools for working with that other type of musical content: note events.
