MADE FOR LIVE

Clean and professional design

Nuendo Live highlights a user interface that you will instantly feel familiar with. Recording, editing, marker lane insertion, access to folders — everything is close at hand and can be accessed from one clearly arranged window. Dispensable options and preferences are replaced by auto-setup functions, making Nuendo
Live instantly ready to record. Best of all, Nuendo Live is derived from the professional look and feel of its big brother, Nuendo.

Record-ready in less than a minute
With Nuendo Live you are ready to record in less than a minute. The application automatically creates the whole input/output setting right after the start. Plus, Nuendo Live enables you to arm all tracks at once and to set up the naming scheme of recorded tracks, folders and project files instantly. This time-saving approach allows you to concentrate on what really counts: the show.

ROCK SOLID

Reliability is a fundamental requirement when working in the live recording industry. Nuendo Live combines exceptional performance with utmost stability thanks to a streamlined feature set with carefully selected functions based on the proven Nuendo program code.

X64-bit support for Windows & Mac

The native Nuendo Live 64-bit support under Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.7 increases the addressable amount of RAM from three gigabyte to an astonishing one terabyte. If you are dealing with large projects, you will certainly benefit from the power of 64-bit computing

Auto renaming and folder creation

Nuendo Live actively supports you in managing your recording session. Recorded files are named automatically with the track number and the track name. You can also assign artist and production names, allowing you to easily identify files related to each other. Direct access to recording folders and the possibility to save the audio files of a session into different folders makes handling your session a breeze.

Soundcheck — one, two, three

Imagine doing a sound check without the artists being on stage — this is exactly what you can do with Nuendo Live. Simply use previous recordings for a Virtual Sound Check through the stereo or the multitrack output via the respective channels of your mixing console is possible. Of course, the mapping of the tracks can easily be adjusted by changing the track order using drag & drop functionality.

RECORD

Stay ahead of things — Nuendo Live Record Panel
Nuendo Live features a convenient Record Panel that shows all the essential live recording information in one spot. Whether it is the recording length (current and total), the remaining disk space, the project timecode, the incoming timecode, the marker position or the record folder — everything you need to know is displayed in real time, providing you a bird’s eye view on your current recording session, even from a distance.

24+ hours recording without barriers
Nothing should interrupt your recording session. For this reason, Nuendo Live features a timecode-friendly 24-hour timeline, making it possible to record without any limits. And if you’re recording for more than 24 hours, Nuendo Live automatically adds a new day to the timeline. Plus, the software elegantly overcomes traditional file size limitations: the EBU standard RIFF 64 Broadcast Wave File format is used per default, removing the natural 4GB file size barrier of standard WAV recording files. And even when Nuendo Live is being used with a FAT32 file system, the application automatically splits recorded files before the 4GB barrier is reached.

EMC Style Works XT

Buat rekan2 yang suka bermain keyboard.. gak ada salahnya menggunakan software EMC STYLE WORKS XT UNIVERSAL ATAU EMC STYLE WORKS 2000,

software ini di tujukan untuk mengconvert style dari berbagai merk keyboard, yang tentunya juga memiliki kekurangan...
software ini, juga bisa membuat style dari song midi... dan penggunaannya juga mudah.. akan tetapi hasil yang di peroleh dari pembuatan style keyboard menggunakan software ini, tidaklah sempurna. dan saya anjurkan untuk langsung membuat style di keyboard.... berikut preview nya

Style Converter Song to Style Converter Style Editor Import/Export

The unique program series for the conversion and creation of music styles

EMC Style Works XT

These are the most important features of our programs:

Style Converter - for the conversion of other keyboards' styles for your instrument; you get access to all styles on the market, even to those which were not produced for your instrument.

Song to Style Converter - for the creation of styles from midifiles; you miss a suitable accompaniment pattern for a specific song? No problem - load the song midifile into the Song to Style Converter and "cut" the rhythm from the song data.

Style Editor - for fast and efficient modification of your style data. Alter volumes, sound assignments and transpositions, even for several tracks at once.

Import/Export module - here you can create a midifile from any style. So you may now use all the sophisticated functions of your sequencer program even when editing styles, just as if it was a GM song.

The single versions (e.g. Style Works XT Yamaha, Style Works XT Roland) provide working in the format of the relevant manufacturer, i.e. you can convert the styles of almost any other keyboard to e.g. Yamaha and create styles from midifiles for Yamha.
Style Works XT Universal is nothing less then the summary of all 8 single programs into one and provids conversion between all formats and the creation of styles from midifiles in all formats.

Single versions are available for:
Technics * Roland * Korg * Solton * Yamaha * Wersi * Generalmusic * Kawai

The main functions are practically the same in all versions, so the subsequent description will be valid for any of the programs

Main page of Style Works XT Universal:

Select the desired destination format and the program module which like to work in. The Play Style module provides playback functions in order to listen to all style parts by the soundcard of your PC. It is available at any time no matter in which of the modules you are.

> other modules

More information about the program modules:

The Style Converter

Here you can convert other keyboards' styles into the format of your instrument. The style structure will be completely transferred, sounds and drum map will be recalculated as well. Simply select a source format, click the desired style and the conversion will be executed immediately, then save the result to disk. You can affect the conversion by selecting various options (depending on source and destination format).
You can even convert entire folders with styles in one operation

The following formats can be read
-- Keyboards --
Technics KN800/770, 1000/750, 2000/1200/901, 3000/3500/1500/920, 5000, 6000/6500, 7000
Roland E-66/86/96/RA-95, E-600/500/300/KR-570, G-800/600 RA-800, G-1000/EM-2000, VA-76/7/5, EXR-series, G-70, E-80/60/50, GW-8, Prelude, Atelier organs
Korg i1-i5 series, ix300, i30-i50 series, Pa80/60/50, Pa1X/Pro, Pa800, Pa2X
GEM WS2/400, WX2/400, WK2/3 4/6/8, Genesys/Pro
Wersi Pegasus/Performer/PhonX ("alt" and "+"-series), Golden Gate, OAS-System (Abacus etc.)
Solton MS 3/4/5, MS 40/50/60/100 Ketron X1/X4, SD1, XD3/XD9, Midjay, SD5
Yamaha SFF kompatible (Tyros/2, PSR-9000/740/640 ... 8000/7000/730/630 etc., CLP)
Kawai Z 1000, CP Piano series

Of course you can listen to the result in the Play Style module first or even modify the new style in the Style Editor. You may set your own part assign map as well.

> other modules

The Song to Style Converter

Here you can create a style from a midifile easily. When loading the midi data the tracks will be automatically separated into the categories DRUMS, BASS, CHORD, PAD and MELODY (by criteria like note length, number and polyphony). Then Style Works will set a start bar will for each style part automatically. Of course you can do this manually as well, i.e. for each part you can define which section of the song will become which style part (e.g. Intro will be taken from bar 1 -9, Variation 1 from 10 with a length of 4 bars etc.). By clicking the button showing the part name you can listen to new style part as if you would play it in C on your keyboard.
An important setting is the Part type parameter.
- Neutral: all chord changes will be removed and you will get a part for universal use (normally the best setting for the "main parts", i.e. "Variation", "Main", "Arrangement" etc.
- Playback: the original chord settings are being maintained, only a general transposition is being executed in order to adapt the part to the basic key of C. This is the standard setting for Intros, Fills and Endings.

By clicking the relevant "Detaills" button you get into this part's Part Editor where you can set various parameters for each track and make use of further efficient tools in order to make the result perfect.

> other modules

The Style Editor

In the Style Editor you can modify your styles no matter if the style is an original one from your keyboard, has been converted or created from a midifile.
Depending on the structure of the instrument you will always find the matching tracks grouped on one page (e.g. all Intros of a Yamaha Tyros style). Modifications can be executed even for several tracks or several parts at one time (e.g. for all bass tracks in all style parts).

What can be modified?

Level "Parts":
Style Parts can be copied, swapped or deleted. Further you can alter the length of a style part (what is impossible with most keyboards) .

Level "Tracks":
These parameters can be modified for each track individually:
- sound assignment, velocity, octave, quantize, shift (time axis)
- all control events like Volume, Expression, Reverb etc (if available in the relevant style format)
- device specific parameters (e.g. the CASM parameters of the Yamaha Style File Format)
- tracks can be copied, swapped and deleted
- Editor for modifying of single events (Event List).

> other modules

The Import/Export Module

By using this module you can work with all the comprehensive functions of your sequencer program when editing or recording styles. Export your style first, execute the desired changes and then import it again to a any part of your style.
Choose whether to save (or load) just style parts as single midifile/s or all parts together in one big midifile.

VST (Virtual Studio Technology)

Steinberg's Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is an interface for integrating software audio synthesizer and effect plugins with audio editors and hard-disk recording systems. VST and similar technologies use Digital Signal Processing to simulate traditional recording studio hardware with software. Thousands of plugins exist, both commercial and freeware, and VST is supported by a large number of audio applications. The technology can be licensed from its creator, Steinberg.

[edit]Overview

VST plugins are generally run within a Digital Audio Workstation, providing the host application with additional functionality. Most VST plugins can be classified as either instruments (VSTi) or effects, although other categories exist. VST plugins generally provide a custom GUI, displaying controls similar to the physical switches and knobs on audio hardware. Some (often older) plugins rely on the host application for their UI.
VST instruments include software simulation emulations of well-known hardware synthesizer devices and samplers, emulating the look of the original equipment and its sonic characteristics. This enables VSTi users to use virtual versions of devices that may be otherwise difficult to obtain.
VST instruments require notes to be sent via MIDI in order to output audio, while effect plugins process audio data (some effect plugins do require a MIDI input too though, for example they might use MIDI sync to modulate the effect in sync with the tempo). MIDI messages can often also be used to control parameters of both instrument and effect plugins. Most host applications allow the audio output from one VST to be routed to the audio input of another VST (known as chaining). For example, output of a VST synthesizer can be sent to a VST reverb effect for further processing.
[edit]History

The VST interface specification and SDK was released in 1996. Coinciding was the release of Steinberg Cubase 3.02. Included with Cubase were the first available VST format plugins. Espacial, Choirus, Stereo Echo and Auto-Panner.[1]
The VST interface specification was updated to version 2.0 in 1999. One of the additions was the ability for plugins to receive MIDI data. This allowed for the introduction of VSTi (Virtual Studio Technology Instrument) format plugins. VST Instruments can act as standalone software synthesizers, samplers or drum machines.[2]
Neon[3] was the first available VST Instrument (included with Cubase VST 3.7). It was a 16-voice, 2-oscillator virtual analog synthesizer.[4]
The VST interface specification was updated to version 2.4 in 1999. Changes included the ability to process audio using 64 bit precision.[5]
The VST interface specification was updated to version 3.0 in 2008. Changes included:[6]
Audio Inputs for VST Instruments
Multiple MIDI inputs/outputs
Optional SKI (Steinberg Kernel Interface) integration
[edit]VST plugins

There are three types of VST plugin.
VST instruments generate audio. They are generally either virtual synthesizers or samplers. Some, such as Native Instruments' Pro-53, specifically recreate the look and sound of famous synthesizers from years past (in this case, the Prophet-5).
VST effects, such as reverb and phaser effects, process audio input. Other monitoring effects provide visual feedback of the input signal without processing the audio. Most hosts allow multiple effects to be chained.
VST MIDI effects process MIDI messages prior to routing the MIDI data to other VST instruments or hardware devices; for example, to transpose or create arpeggios.
[edit]VST hosts

A VST host is a software application or hardware device that allows VST plugins to be loaded and controlled. The host application is responsible for handling the routing of digital audio and MIDI to and from the VST plugins.
[edit]Software
There is a wide range of VST hosts available, including the following:
Ableton Live
ACID Pro
Adobe Audition
Adobe Premiere Elements
Adobe Premiere Pro
Ardour
AudioMulch
Bidule
Steinberg Cubase
Steinberg Nuendo
FL Studio
Kore
LMMS
Max MSP
Mixcraft
Podium
REAPER
Renoise
Samplitude
Sonar
There are also stand-alone "dedicated hosts" whose sole purpose is to serve as a host for the VST plugins rather than as an extension of their sequencing or audio capabilities. These are usually optimized for live performance use, with features like fast song configuration switching. Examples of popular dedicated VST host software include:
Cantabile
Brainspawn Forte
Tobybear MiniHost
Deckadance
Chainer
VSTHost
SAVIHost
VST plugins can be hosted in incompatible environments using a translation layer, or shim. For example, FL Studio fundamentally supports only its own internal plugin architecture, but a native "wrapper" plugin exists that can, in turn, load VST plugins, among others. As another example, FXpansion offers a VST to RTAS (Real Time AudioSuite) wrapper (allowing VST plugins to be hosted in the popular Pro Tools digital audio workstation), and a VST to Audio Units wrapper (allowing VST plugins to be hosted in Apple Logic Pro Digital Audio Workstation).
[edit]Hardware
Hardware VST hosts can load special versions of VST plugins. These units are portable and usable without a computer, although all editing is done on a computer. Other hardware options include PCI/PCIe cards designed for audio processing, which take over audio processing from the computer's CPU and free up RAM. Examples of hardware VST hosts are RECEPTOR (Muse), Plugzilla and V-Machine (SM Pro Audio).
Audio data can also be sent over a network using appropriate software, allowing the main host to run on one computer and VST plugins to run on peripheral computers.
[edit]VST plugin standard
The VST plugin standard is the audio plugin standard created by Steinberg to allow any third party developers to create VST plugins for use within VST host applications. VST requires separate installations for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The majority of VST plugins are available for Windows due to both Apple's proprietary Audio Unit software for OS X and the lack of information and patent encumbrances that make development difficult for Linux platforms.
[edit]Presets

VST plugins often have many controls, and therefore need a method of managing presets (sets of control settings).
Steinberg Cubase VST introduced two file formats for storing presets: an FXP file stores a single preset, while an FXB file stores a whole bank of presets. These formats have since been adopted by many other VST hosts, although Cubase itself switched to a new system of preset management with Cubase 4.0.
Many VST plugins have their own method of loading and saving presets, which do not necessarily use the standard FXP/FXB formats.
[edit]Competing technologies

Apple Computer's Audio Units
Digidesign's Real Time AudioSuite
Digidesign's TDM
LADSPA, DSSI and LV2 for Linux
Microsoft's DirectX plugin
MOTU's MAS
[edit]Programming languages

Steinberg's VST SDK is a set of C++ classes based around an underlying C API. The SDK can be downloaded from their website.
There are several ports available, such as a Delphi version by Frederic Vanmol, a Java version from the jVSTwRapper project at sourceforge.net, and a .NET version - Noise. Another .NET implementation is VST.NET. This open source project also includes a framework which makes creating VST plugins easier and result in more structured code. VST.NET also provides support for writing managed host applications with a managed class that allows loading an unmanaged Plugin. A notable language supporting VST is Faust considering that it is especially made for making signal processing plugins, often producing code faster than hand-written C++.
In addition, Steinberg have developed the VST GUI, which is another set of C++ classes, which can be used to build a graphical interface. There are classes for buttons, sliders and displays etc. Note that these are low level C++ classes and the look and feel still have to be created by the plugin manufacturer.
A large number of commercial and open-source VSTs are written using the JUCE C++ framework instead of direct calls to the VST SDK, because this allows multi-format (VST, AudioUnit and Real Time AudioSuite) binaries to be built from a single codebase.

ok selanjutnya kita mulai untuk cara membuat midi file, disini saya katakan langsung software ini tidak jauh beda dengan cakewalk pro audio 9,,, hanya saja yang membedakannya ada beberapa fitur yang tidak di milkinya,, seperti insert file audio yang akan kita jadikan guide.

tanpa basa basi lagi ya bro.. langkah yang harus loe lakukan
1. adalah membuka aplikasi Onyx

2. buat new file yang gunanya untuk membuat track baru.

3. kita masukkan track midi yang akan kita buat dengan cara klik kanan pada main track trus insert empty track

4. setelah ada track baru,, langkah selanjutnya adalah memasukkan instrument yang kita inginkan
nah di sini kamu akan melihat kemiripan software ini dengan cakewalk.. dimana aplikasi windownya nyaris sama, dan yang membuat perbedaannya adalah pada cross toolbar,, yang gak bisa di tarik,, sehingga sangat menyulitkan kita untuk assign track ke sound atau pacth yang akan digunakan,, pasti yg blm pernah coba bingung ya dengan kata-kata saya...
biar gampang begini,, aja setelah ke buka window,, kamu gak akan bisa liat track yang akan si perintah ke patch / midi mapping GM,XG, dll.. biar gak panjang penjelasannya loe coba aja lah bro

5. masukkan Patch yg loe inginkan dengan melakukan klik pada option Instrument, trus loe klik define dan pilih import,, nah cari aja dimana loe simpan pacth atau mapingnya.... pasti ada

6. loe klik pada main track tulisan TYPE pilih apa yg loe inginkan, trus pilih chanell,, misal chanel 10 untuk drum... pada bank loe klik patch yang kamu pilih tadi,, misal GM atau XG (terserah mau loe pilih mana),, trus loe klik tulisan patch,, maka akan keluar instrument yg loe inginkan....

7.  selanjutnya merekam track midi... untuk metronomenya, midi setting out/in, dll yang terdapat pada menu Option, contoh seperti pada gambar, gambar tersebut merupakan mdi setting out dan in dan ini salah 1 awal yang harus kamu lakukan untuk awal mengerjakan project ..

8 .  Sampai disini saya anggap kamu dah merekam midi di banyak track,, sama seperti tutorial sebelumnya yang saya jelaskan,, kamu harus melakukan pengeditan agar midi yang di hasilkan sesuai dengan metronome,, maka kamu harus membuka piano roll.. untuk itu loe bisa klik kanan pada track pilih piano roll atau mengkilk pada menu toolbar seperti ini  :



pada gambar tersebut kamu bisa mengklik logopiano.. itulah piano rollnya....

8.  Melakukan penyimpanan file,, dengan anggapan saya loe dah nyelesaikan semua track dengan baik, caranya klik pada menu, file save as,, dan sinpan ke format midi....

Mungkin ada kelebihan dari software ini dimana, dia memilki fasilitas harmoni,, ini di tujukan buat midi maker bekerja dengan mudah, dengan di sertakannya scale pada menu harmonizer... seperti pada gambar :  

dari gambar tersebut kamu bisa liat menu-menu apa aja yang terdapat pada harmonizer...

dan Onyx Arranger ini juga memilki fasilitas trasnpose keys seperti gambar ini:

disitu kamu bisa membuat scale

trasnpose serta merubah chord

sebelum saya lupa menuliskan,, karena dah terlalu panjang tulisan ini,, dan saya yakin kamu juga malas membacanya,, langsung aja ya

Onyx Arranger ini memilki Fasilitas Style,, yang mana style sejauh saya masih disertakan dalam formatnya onyx.... dengan kolom style ini,, kamu juga bisa memasukkan tulisan chord, lyrics, dan sebagainya... termasuk juga melakukan orchestrator yang bersifat mini... untuk gambarnya seperti ini...

[caption id="attachment_251" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="onyx style"][/caption]
