Midi - Playing Multiple Notes Simultaneously
Hi there!
My name is Bernardo, I'm writing from Portugal, and I'm an absolute newby using Reaper (or any other DAW, actually). So, I apologize if the question is very basic, but I've been struggling to get a way out of it...
I'm a piano player, and when trying to record something in midi using my controller, I've noticed that, when I'm playing a chord, if I adjust all the notes to the same grid, only one of them is playing... ie, it seems like to midi player doesn't support polyphony... this is very ackward, as I've seen multiple videos on youtube (some of them posted by some contributors here in the forum), and this doesn't happen...
Is there some kind of preference to be chosen on the midi editor in order to enable multiple notes to be playing simultaneously? In order to do that, I've applied the 1/128 grid and adjusted all the notes individually to a different location, separated by 1 milisecond.
Of course, this situation also causes the impossibility of quantizing anything.
Another (side) topic is related with the sustain pedal. When applying it to my controller, it does the opposite effect... instead of holding the note when pressed down, it releases it. The note happens to be in permanent sustain, unless the pedal is pushed, instead of a regular instrument... maybe some midi adjustment to be done as well.
Well, sorry for the long post and thank you for any tip you could provide, that would be extremely helpful.
Cheers,
BM
