Let's explore what we can do with velocity. We can do a lot, actually, because velocity is a crucial MIDI parameter that relates to how hard you hit a key and thus controls a note's dynamics. For example, depending upon the instrument sounds, hitting the key harder might make the sound brighter, louder, or both. These kinds of dynamics result in more realistic and satisfying parts. The ACID Pro inline editing mode gives you control over note velocity on a MIDI track. Click the Inline Editing button to enter Inline Editing mode. Then zoom in or out so you can see your individual MIDI notes. Click here to continue  Craig Anderton is Editor-in-Chief of www.harmony-central.com as well as Executive Editor of EQ magazine. He's been using Acid since version 1.0.  First airing in January 2004, PDXposed has revolutionized the concept of locally produced television. PDXposed is the creation of Jon Olson (Host, Writer and Executive Producer) and Josh Martin (Senior Editor and Cameraman). Over the past few years Jon, Josh and the rest of the PDXposed crew have created a new concept of how television should be presented and produced; fun and positive television of the highest quality. Having been recognized regionally and nationally by its peers, fans and the television industry, PDXposed was nominated the last two years for Emmy Awards in two categories: "Entertainment Special or Series," and Jon Olson was nominated in the category of "Host/Talent - Non-News." In the last five years, PDXposed is one out of just two Oregon entertainment series' to be nominated, and Jon was the only Oregon host nominated during this time. The show earned rave reviews from the press and fans after entering into a relationship with the Portland-Sapporo Sister City Association. In 2005 and 2007 the crew spent multiple days filming in Sapporo, capturing its friendly beauty in two different seasons with a series of 30-minute episodes featuring Sapporo, Portland's "Sister City." The crew has also traveled to Germany, Hawaii, and plans to film future episodes in China. Check out PDXposed out at www.PDXposed.com  Recognized as one of the most influential "shredding" guitarists to come out of the '80's, Vinnie Moore has been following his own musical path since he turned pro at the age of 12. A member of UFO since 2003, Vinnie has also been a prolific solo artist. And when he doesn't have top-notch live musicians behind him in the studio, what does he do? He reaches for Sony Creative Software Sounds and Samples. Vinnie writes about his latest solo release, "To The Core", that the "song, the melody, and the feel...are the main ingredients" to his music, and he can make them all come together with our loop libraries. Check it out at Amazon or Mascot Records. Working with 3D track motion by Gary Rebholz  In last month's Tech Tip article, we covered the basics of track motion. Although we didn't go through every tool in the Track Motion dialog box, we explored enough of it that you have a solid grasp on the basics. Hopefully you've spent some time over the last month working with those basics and experimenting with them and even some of the things we didn't cover specifically. In this article, I'm going to expand upon that discussion and talk about working with track motion in three-dimensional space where you can create many interesting effects like the slanted video track in Figure 1. With 3D track motion you can rotate and move your track's output in three dimensions to create interesting treatments. Working with 3D track motion opens up a huge number of creative possibilities. As you saw in last month's article, you can use track motion to resize, rotate, and reposition the output of any video track. With the Track Motion window for a regular two-dimensional video track, you can manipulate the track's x and y coordinates. Figure 2 shows the Track Motion window for a two-dimensional track.
