should really use semi-tones (white and black keys) to create your chords. root note + 4 semi-tones + 3 semi tones for a major triad root note + 3 semi-tones + 4 semi tones for a minor triad What if I explain it like this... This is always the structure for every major and minor chord isn't it? Remember, including the black keys. Minor: Root note > skip 2 semi-tones (keys) > note > skip 3 semi-tones (keys) > note Major Root note > skip 3 semi-tones > note > skip 2 semi-tones > note Yeah that's right but it's much clearer if you say the root note plus however many semi-tones. The terminology 'skip' could confuse someone quite easily.

I'll stick to my 1210's

Are you not using an external soundcard with MIDI in/outs?

That's not true though. You may well get a commission if that was what the contract agreement specified, but you do not retain the copyright for a remix. That lies with the label Cupe, you should chin the guy and say you want a cut of any sales of your remix. See what he says.

not really. As soon as you make something you control the copyright of the song (the actual musical idea involved in it) and also the copyright of the recording which is a separate right. If a label signs your track it will give you a contract which states you are handing over control of the copyright of the recording to them. This will of course be different if your a band and a label signs you and pays for the production of an album or whatever. The label will automatically own the recording copyright but the copyright of the song remains with the artist(s).

this for real or whit?

thats amazing. stealing this for my fb.

You have no rights. Did you agreed to do it for nothing? As it's a remix the copyright lies with him (or a label if it were a label who commissioned you do one). Generally for a remix an artist will get a flat fee for their work unless a percentage rate was agreed before hand.

Aye, I'd love to see them again. Would take something special to better that alive tour though.

You can hook your keyboard up to your computer then just route the MIDI through whichever DAW your using to control the synth. That's what I do with my Tetra.

Amazing!

they will have to get permission from the copyright holder to create a cover version too.

You sure about that? http://recycledbeatz.tumblr.com/post/47 ... -the-verve

I've had to endure their music on occasion... that should be enough

this is what I imagined. For that reason I won't even listen.

You should try to use an external soundcard via usb/firewire if possible with balanced cables. you'll get better sound quality that way.

generally you want to keep the main melody of a track as this is the recognisable part. I personally have no problem with remixes that sound completely different from the original
