Hi All,
My lyrics files are a complete mess because I use MIDI commands to change guitar fx patches, keyboard patches, DMX light commands etc... I am only using 4 of the 16 MIDI channels but I still have dozens of lines like these in my lyrics
[midi@01:23.456: CC21.127@13, CC21.0@13]
[midi@01:50.105: CC21.127@13, CC21.0@13, CC22.127@13, CC22.0@13]
(This is how I start and stop recording my main vocal on a Boss looper.)
What would be fantastic is if I could alias these commands in another file
VocalRecStart = 'CC21.127@13, CC21.0@13'
VocalRecStop = 'CC21.127@13, CC21.0@13, CC22.127@13, CC22.0@13'
So the actual commands could be reinserted by a global find and replace when it mattered but I would only see this in my lyrics
[midi@01:23.456: VocalRecStart]
[midi@01:50.105: VocalRecStop]
I think this would also cut down on typing and syntax errors in MIDI commands if they only needed writing once in the alias file and then referenced in plain text from that point on.
Better still if we could have a 'Lyrics' file and a separate 'Commands' file which are merged together behind the scenes but separated to make them easier to read and edit.
Thanks
DD
