Title: Help with Visual AGI
Post by: Joey on August 08, 2002, 07:17:46 AM

Ok, i am trying to make my own songs. I have visual AGI.
I can only make songs that have 15 or 16 notes. It only plays those. Does anyone know how to make a song? I cant do it. I tried a lot? Mabey there is a different program?

You can really make the songs as long as you want. You click down the list in the voice channel that you want to use, the you press ctrl+E to move the line down. To change the octave of the notes you want to play, you change the number next to the note to go higher to lower. 1 is lower 9 is higher...

Did this answer your ?

No, not really. Ok, let me rephrase this. There is the line right above the 16, below the 0. That is where it plays up to. It doesnt go past that. Is there a way to make it go further down so it plays more notes?

Pressing crtl+E makes the line move down to set where your song ends.

Please read the readme.txt in the archive. It's not much, but it does explain how you create patterns and put them together in the sequencer to create songs.

Simple explaination;

You create a set of patterns, which are short pieces of music. In the sequencer, you put the patterns together to form your song. For example, you could use the same "theme loop" several times in your song, but only use a single pattern.

It's great to hear that people are trying to use Visual AGI for sounds!.. Keep on trying, and you will soon see that it is very easy to create music with it!
