How do I Fade in and out, working with Midi events?

I'm new to logic.
How do you set certain virtual instruments(midi events) to fade in or out. I have a string arrangement written, and whenever the strings end it is very abrupt and unnatural. I want them to fade out, as opposed to just cutting like they do. I would also like to know how to fade in. Is it the same process?
Please help me out if you know how to do this.
Thanks...

I'm not sure what you mean about fading the instrument and not the notes. I just want to fade out one note/per instrument at the end of certain passages. Care to expound?
In general, MIDI does not provide a mechanism to control the volume of individual notes.
In MIDI (and sequencer terms), a note has a note on, a note number (which key was pressed) and how hard you hit that key (velocity). Then a corresponding note off. There is nothing in a note specification that let's you control the volume of a note through it's duration.
In MIDI terms, you can use a controller MIDI message, typically #7 which is used for volume, and modify that over the time the note is playing. But this is controlling the volume of the instrument not the individual notes - the same as turning up and down the volume on the instrument. All notes that the instrument is playing are affected equally - if you are holding a chord, the entire chord will ramp in volume. You cannot just ramp the volume of one note within the chord using this method.
(The closest MIDI can get to controlling individual notes volume is with polyphonic aftertouch, but this is not often supported and is a more advanced technique - given that you are new to this I'm going to ignore it for now to avoid over-complicating things. I mention it to stop all the people chiming in with "you're so wrong Beejay you muppet you can do this with poly aftertouch don't you know anything" blah blah).
Is that more clear?
Also, if you wouldn't mind, could you give me a step by step on opening the hyperview in the piano roll?
Open the piano roll, select View -> Hyperdraw -> Volume.
You can click/draw in it with the pencil tool to create MIDI volume (CC#7) changes.

    how do I fade in and out on the same track?
    & how do I add reverve - please help a dummy - or where in the manual? Thanks

    Move your cursor onto the audio track, to the upper-left (or upper-right) corner until the cursor icon changes to a small envelop. From there, click & drag out to create a fade. From there, you can double-click on the audio file to get a HUD with all the different types of fades available.

  • How do I adjust my titles so they don't fade in and out? I have hundreds of photos/videos on screen for a second or so each, for a year-long birthday video, and I need the dates in my titles to be steady rather than fading in and out spastically.

    I have been working on a project since December of 2012 for my son's first birthday. Basically, it's a photo or quick video each day of his life so far. I used the "upper" title and made the titles not fade in and out, because that could give someone a seizure. The idea is a seamless title that ticks away each day. But in the new iMovie, it changed my settings, and I can't for the life of me find how to change them back.
    Now, each date flashes in and out, in and out, in and out. Fractions of seconds go by. It's really distracting and annoying.
    How do I get the titles to remain on screen and not fade in and out? I had it just how I wanted it, but now we're rapidly approaching my son's birthday, and the video is suddenly a mess.
    How do I fix this?

    I am working with the very same concept for my project and the auto fade in and out has messed everything up. If I hear or a fix I'll be sure to reply here to let you know!

  • Made a drop down menu. How can I get the drop down to fade in and out? !

    Hi guys!
    I've created a drop down menu (with the help of you legends on here! )...Now I just need it to animate so when the user hovers over the main menu item, the drop down fades in.
    Here's the HTML I have...
        <ul id="nav">
            <li><a href="#">Nav 1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 2</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 3</a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 1</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 2</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 3</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">&raquo; Sub Menu 4</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 5</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Nav 6</a></li>
        </ul>
    ...and here's my CSS...
    ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; z-index:999;}
    ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
    ul#nav li a {color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
    * html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; }  /* for IE 6 */
    * + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; }  /* for IE 7 */
    #nav ul {width:208px; left:-9999em; list-style:none; margin:35px 0; padding:0; position:absolute; z-index:999;}
    #nav li:hover ul {left:auto;}
    #nav li {float:left;}
    #nav li li a {width:190px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; padding:8px; margin:0; }
    #nav li li a:hover {background-color:#000; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
    #nav li:hover {background:url(assets/images/frame/navOn.jpg);}
    From what I can make out, I assume I need either Javascript or JQuery...
    Does anyone know how I can get the drop down to fade in and out?
    Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

    Yes, you'll need a client-side script to do fade-in/fade-out fx.  Look at jQuery Superfish.

  • How do I keep from having my titles fade in and out in iMovie 10.0.1? Or is there a way to customize a title at all, other than location, size, and color (such as fade direction, duration, entrance...)?

    This is something that I thought came standard with all video editing software and I'm very surprised to not be able to find it in my version of iMovie. All I want to do is create captions that don't fade in and out.

    Several posters have asked this and it doesn't appear to be possible in iMovie 10.  I guess you would have to create .png stills with the caption and the rest transparent then add them as cutaways.

  • Again: How to fade in and out a text in a loop?

    Hi, you all,
    with a little help from my friends I could get a text fade out with jQuery. Once the animation is complete, the text should fade in again and then fade out and so on.
    Whatever I try, I get syntax errors. So finally I did not get any further than that: http://www.3amdesign.de/Unbenannt-8.html
    Thanks for your help,
    Alex

    Hi Brad,
    look at this page: http://www.3amdesign.de/en/index.html
    It looks like a chess-board with a menu bar on the left and and 20 
    "empty" fields . The white fields show text only on mouse-over.
    The results of google analytics suggest that our homepage is not 
    attractive enough. Unless you start to move with the mouse over the 
    page, nothing happens.
    That is why we want to put some animation to the page by fading in and 
    out text in different rectangles at different times. The ideal case 
    woud be to be able to link each word if necessary to a different page.
    The other goal to reach would be to substitute the images that show 
    the text with "real" text in order to be "readable" for the search 
    engines and thus reach better ranking positions.
    I hope I could get the idea clear and would be happy if there was a 
    solution suitable for someone basically unexperienced in coding...
    Thank you a lot,
    Alex

  • HT4623 Update problem?  Fade in and out while updating

    As I was updating the phone to iOS6 there was an error.  Now the phone just fades in and out with the start Apple symbol and there is no way to shut it off.

    If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. 
    I recommend that you phone contact your regional Linksys support office and ask for help and information regarding this. Or [email protected]
    Let us know how it goes please.

  • IPhone 5 voice call quality fade in and out. Noise Cancellation interference?

    I've been having this huge problem with the iPhone5. The evidence i've collected seems to indicate this is a problem with all iPhone5's.
    On calls in certain places both indoors and outdoors, the callers voices over the iPhone5 fade in and out. Their voices occasionally completely fade completely away, and only come back momentarily. The low volume for 50% of the time forces me to raise the volume, but raising the volume does not help because when the voice does come back, the volume is too loud for my ears.
    I went back to the Apple store and they are not able to help me. They suggested a clean restore, which I did. They offered to replace the phone, which I did, but it is the same problem.
    - iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S, the fading does not occur. I make the call to the same voice mail system I have, and the sounds from the other side are consistently the same volume for the 4S, but fades in and out for the 5.
    - I connected up a 8mm jack between my iPhone 5 and my mac in an attempt to record this problem. In that instance, the sounds from the voice mail DO NOT fade in and out. I did find out that the dynamic range on the iPhone 5 is MUCH greater than that of the iPhone 4S, for some strange reason.
    - When I hold the phone up to my ear, the fading in and out does occur, but it is less noticeable. But it's still there.
    - When I leave my work area the problem goes away. However, because the iPhone 4S on the same AT&T service does not have this problem, this leads me to believe it's NOT a lack of transmission power from the AT&T cell tower. Rather, it is a reception issue at the iPhone5 side.
    - I turned off LTE, data and then made the calls. Same issue.
    I use this phone to make 60 minute calls for conference calls frequently. I cannot use it. Please advise. I am seriously considering returning this phone. Except i've sold my old iPhone 4 already. I'm in a bad place. Please help.
    Here's another post of a fellow with the same exact problem.
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1456404
    Apple, please look into this. I believe this is a problem with the noise cancellation software.

    I've got an update on this problem with fading volume. I've isolated it to the set volume on the phone for voice calls when using headphones. When the headphone volume is set between 1 and 6 (out of 16 squares) the callers volume will consistently fade in and out. The fading which is normal to zero volume at 2-5 Hz is serious enough that normal conversation is impossible.  When the volume is raised above 6/16 then the callers voice stabilize and I can hear all their words again. Unfortunately, at 6/16 volume their voices are too loud for the headphones.
    Furthermore, when headphones are plugged in, and I initial a call after the iphone5 was idle for several minutes, the first dial tone has preceded by a very loud pop an the tone, as though there was too much pressure (charge) that was dissipated all at once.
    Other details:
    - I used 3 different earphones, iPhone 4 headphones, altec earphones, an the new iPhone 5 earbuds. Same.
    - I turned on and off lte, data, Bluetooth, wifi. Problem persists unaffected.
    - when switching to iPhones earpiece and mic, the fading is gone.
    - I have 3 out of 5 bars where I teste this, in the city outside and on hwy 5 in central California. Same symptoms in all places I've tested.
    - I have exchanged my phone at the apple store. Same issue with both iPhones an I suspect all ipjone5s.
    - the ipjone4s does NOT have this problem when the volume is set lower. I can tell that the iPhone 5 must have a new audio filter to make the sounds have larger dynamic range. I liked the 4s better, because it is easier on the ears!

  • Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8

    Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8 as a control surface ?

    In YAMAHA01v96i:
    Go to DIO/SETUP select Generic DAW. Go to MIDI settings page and set the desired port (personally I use Number 1), Select the same audio frequency you use in your DAW (I use 44.1KhZ)...at this point You should save a scene in you 01V96i to avoid to repeat all the procedure again.
    Open studio manager, go to patch and set the input port from 17 to 32 respectively to USB1-USB16 (this will give you the return from you DAW to the 01v96i
    Save again the scene overwriting the old one.
    in LOGIC
    Click on preferences, select Audio then select 01v96i, then click on control surface and select Mackie design Baby HUI and in the midi session set the same port that you've been setting on the Yamaha 01V96i (Port 1 if you follow this example).
    That's more or less it.
    It worked for me...so far

  • Line drawn with Pencil Tool appears to fade in and out

    My Nme is Allen Togwell.Case No: 0183721415. Your chat line guy said I needed a graphic card to solve my problem for my CS6. He gave me a link but disconnected before I could use it. Can you help me with what type of graphic card I need. I am 75 yrs of age and not very com literate.
    Thanks

    Hi Allen,
    I looked up that case number and watched a recording of you working with the agent and am not convinced that what you are seeing was necessarily because of the graphics card.
    This is my interpretation and thoughts around what you were seeing. I noticed that you were working on an image that took up a fair amount of the screen when viewed at 16.7% zoom. This means it was a pretty large image. Next, I noticed you were using the pencil tool with a tip that was 4 pixels.
    I think the combination of these two things was the reason the pencil tool was appearing choppy or to fade in and out when drawing. This occurs because you are using such a small size and are zoomed out so much that the lines are barely visible. When you zoom out the program resamples the appearance. This resampling can cause detail to be lost and the appearance to vary depending on what zoom level is used, 16.7% is particularly bad with fine details.
    I think there would be two solutions, use a different zoom level to get a better view or use a pencil with a larger size.
    I recorded this video for you as an example
    http://screencast.com/t/e9dhiHKoKbv
    I suspect the list that the agent was suggesting for video cards was the one at the bottom of this document

  • Stripe Subtitle Fade In and Out Issue

    After upgrading to iMovie HD 6, I found the Stripe Subtitle to fade in correctly, but when it begins to fade out, it will abrubtly disappear. In iMovie HD 5, the Stripe Subtitle would fade in and out smoothly. It does this when I preview a stripe subtitle, as well as in finished DVDs and Quicktime movies. I have tried adjusting the speed and pause, but that has no effect on this issue.
    You can see an example of this in one of my videos. Just watch the first minute and you'll see it happen when I introduce the first speaker:

    You're welcome.
    Just don't ask me to explain why it works that way!

  • FCP to soundtrack : clips audio fade in and out are lost !

    Hi,
    I sent a FCP project to soundtrack pro, but all fade in and out are lost. Only crossovers between 2 clips remain. Is it a limitation of the "send to multitrack project" function ?
    Thanks

    Same problem here. Tried to solve it by making an OMF export in FCP and importing it into STP: same problem. One of the many bugs. We have to wait some more versions before this promising application works on a pro level.

  • Fade in and Out

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to ask the Pro a question.
    I have a video clip which i want to cut and fade in and Fade Out the video and Audio.
    I have searched on internet but i can not seems to find the right answer.Is it that complicated to do fade in and out?
    Is there a simple way to fade in and fade out the entire video(video and audio) and NOT only video or Audio?
    How can i do that.
    Thank you very much

    On a single clip, fade and dip to black are similar. If you have two clips next to each other fade will do a mix between them, using the dip to black will fade out the first clip going to black and the fade up the second clip. The yellow line shows keyframes, this is a way of changing effect parameters against time. This is an Adobe help file about them Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Adding, navigating, and setting keyframes If you search the net there are many tutorials. You can keyframe audio and video. Have you tried adding the default fade transition to the audio? I have no problems with it. The cpu can run flat out, if needs be Premiere will slow down the export to match the quality of your hardware.
