The program is a MIDI synthesizer for creating melodies in MIDI format.
Attention! The description of working with the program below refers to an earlier version: Anvil Studio 2009.04.05.
The importance of music in human life is beyond doubt. Being one of the earliest types of creativity, accompanying people almost all the time of their existence over many centuries, music successfully performs not only entertaining, but also, first of all, aesthetic, as well as educational and social functions.
It fascinates, calms, heals, by making music, we create a mood, and everything depends only on the colors of this drawing. Including our state of mind.
Just a few years ago, the market situation was such that everyone had to spend money, sometimes several hundred dollars, to purchase even the most simple programs for a music studio.
But in Lately A sufficient number of free sequencer programs have appeared - programs that allow you to write music in MIDI, perform processing, i.e. form final product- ready-made arrangement. Modern sequencers work not only with MIDI, but also with digital sound. Almost all support MIDI keyboards.
Anvil Studio Features
One of these programs will be discussed today. Meet Anvil Studio - a full-fledged MIDI synthesizer that is suitable for writing a melody from scratch, as well as for editing a finished electronic MIDI score. In terms of its capabilities, this utility is superior to many commercial analogues, but it is distributed completely free of charge (though without advanced features such as printing notes, etc.) and weighs only a little over three megabytes.
And most importantly, it has a simple and intuitive interface for any musician (there is support for entering notes both from the virtual piano keyboard and from the guitar fretboard).
What can this program do:
- Anvil Studio allows you to create and edit MIDI files;
- set the rhythm you need;
- use WAV files as samples;
- record a melody from a MIDI keyboard, if you have one;
- recognize notes from a microphone;
- automatically transfer the melody to a different time signature/key;
- create and modify your WAV samples directly in the program.
In addition, the program has a built-in metronome and guitar tuner. You can also practice playing the piano :).
Installing the Anvil Studio MIDI editor
Well, I think I’ve convinced you of the benefits of this utility. First, download and install Anvil Studio.
A few simple steps and the program is loaded. Launch the installer and click the "Setup" button.
After the program is installed, click on the Anvil Studio shortcut on your desktop, and the following picture appears before our eyes:
For those who know English language, the program has an excellent Help tab, which provides very detailed tips and assistance for working in Anvil Studio. But, since not all of us are strong in English :), now we will take a closer look at how to work with this music editor.
Interface and working with the program
To get acquainted with the utility, let’s open some midi file. To do this, go to the “File” menu, select “Open songs” and select “Songs” in the file types.
The main thing is in front of you working window Anvil Studio. It consists of the following components (bottom to top): hints and help panel, keyboard (or guitar fretboard of your choice), note settings panel, staff display panel, instrument table, control panel and menu bar.
A help panel is displayed at the very bottom. It describes in detail why this window is needed and what you can do in it. Directly above it is located virtual keyboard piano, with which you can enter all the notes in the program.
If desired, the keyboard can be replaced with a guitar neck, both a regular guitar and a bass (4, 5 or 6 string options are available). To do this, just click once right click mouse over the field with the keyboard and select the desired tab in the menu that opens.
Above the keyboard is a note settings panel. Here you can configure the overall key, size and style of display of the staff for a specific track. To the right is a panel for setting the duration of the entered note or pause (the "Insert Rest" button).
On the same panel there is a button, by activating which you can enter a note through the microphone (). The next panel is responsible for the option of playing notes and the breakdown of the staff.
Above we see the direct result of our efforts - the staff display panel. All the notes and accidentals that we enter are displayed here. The pitch of any note can be changed in two ways. The first is to simply drag it up or down on the staff, and the second is to go to context menu to the "Properties" tab.
Here, in addition to the pitch, you can change the volume, duration and version of the already entered note.
Tool table
Well, now let's look at the table of tools, which is located in our upper left corner.
1st column - allows you to go to editing this track and give it a specific name of your choice. The second column is responsible for the type of track: instrumental, rhythmic, audio or audio track with a frequency of 24 KB (available only when connecting a paid plugin). The next column allows you to enable, disable or solo this track.
And finally, the last column allows you to set the instrument on which the melody will be performed (piano by default). The only negative here is the use of only General Midi for subduing instruments, without the ability to connect your own sound banks.
To the right of the sign are the level and panorama sliders for a given track, and further down is a diagram of the entire song as a whole. This scheme is convenient to use for quickly moving to the desired section of the melody.
Above the instrument table are some auxiliary instruments needed to control the program, mainly using a MIDI keyboard. Here it is worth highlighting the rewind bar, the playback/recording panel and the “Tempo” window, which allows you to specify the tempo of the composition.
And now from theory to practice :).
Creating a MIDI melody in Anvil Studio
Let's create something of our own. To get started, click "New Song" in the "File" menu. An empty staff will appear with only one track. To add a new track, you need to select “Create” in the “Track” menu and select one of the items there. You can create the following track options: a regular instrumental track, a rhythm track (drums), a track with a metronome rhythm, an audio track (recorded in wav) and some of its variations.
Now that you have decided on the number and types of tracks, it is time to start creating and editing the notes themselves. I advise you to start writing music by recording the rhythm section. To do this, Anvil Studio has a very convenient ability to visually edit drums.
You just need to select the desired drums and cymbals from the list, and then simply draw the rhythm in the squared windows. By the way, the same opportunity exists for working with notes. If you are not very strong in musical notation, I advise you to select “Piano Roll” in the drop-down box above the staff or select the same option in the “View” menu.
We indicate the desired note opposite the desired piano key, and the duration will correspond to the length of the note.
Since we're talking about options for displaying notes, we can't help but remember two more options: tablature and a list of events.
Tablature and list of events
If you are a guitarist, then the concept of tablature should be familiar to you. This is a schematic representation of the neck of a guitar, on which the numbers indicate the fret numbers on which one or another string should be clamped. By selecting the “TAB” designation in the window (or in the “View” menu), you will receive a tablature of the selected track.
It is impossible to edit notes in this state, but guitarists can learn this or that composition very conveniently and quickly.
Unlike the previous option, everything in the event list can be completely edited. The MIDI interface is designed in such a way that sound card The computer is sent a specific sequence of commands responsible for playing each note. It is these commands that you can edit.
In this way it is possible to produce fine tuning and achieve a fairly high-quality result.
Once you've done all the instrumental tracks, you may want to add something else. To do this, you can use the ability to insert an audio track.
Inserting an audio track into a melody
You can import a finished sample into wav, record a part of an instrument, or add a voice. Simply create an audio track and click the "Rec" button to start recording. We stop the recording, cut where necessary and get the finished track.
Saving results
Now all that's left to do is save our composition. We can save it as a midi file or rewrite it to wav. To do this, go to the "File" menu and select "Save Song (as)" or "Export Mixed Audio", respectively. Ready! You are now a composer;).
conclusions
I don’t want to seem unfounded, but, in my opinion, Anvil Studio is one of best programs to create MIDI songs. If you have a desire or need to create music, start by mastering this program, and you will not regret it.
