- DMCS does do some a duration trick, but not in a way that feels normal.
- Given an initial note duration, after a fixed time period it will increment
- the duration as you hold down the key(s). But this increment is not linear.
- The note will become dotted, then twice the original duration, then that
- will be dotted, then 4 times the original duration, etc... until the note
- becomes a whole note. (It will not dot a whole note this way. Nor will
- it extend note values once the measure is "full" -- it will not tie into
- the next measure.) The fixed time period can be adjusted on the MIDI-setup
- menu option.
-
- Key held note value example
- 1 1 sixteenth
- 2 1.5 dotted sixteenth
- 3 2 eight
- 4 3 dotted eight
- 5 4 quarter
- 6 6 dotted quarter
- 7 8 half
- 9 12 dotted half
- 10 16 whole
- 11 no change past whole note
