Tips
Filter a MIDI file before replaying
it
Quite often, a midi file has multiple channels, where - typically - each
channel has a different instrument. Usually the channels have parallel musical
events. Consequently, if all these events are animated on the piano keys, the
user may get overwhelmed and confused by the many keys being pressed and
released at the same time. This would defeat the purpose of the key-animation
feature.
The user can take better advantage of the key animation feature by selecting
fewer channels for animation. And because Mazzika provides separate
filtering of sound and animation, the user can still listen to more channels
than animated.
Assign Maqam Hot Keys
To switch quickly from one maqam to another while playing music using the
keyboard, assign maqam hot keys. This allows you to switch to a maqam by
hitting a single function key in the keyboard.
Install a Sound Card
Although Mazzika works fine with an on-motherboard audio controller, the
sound and the timing will be much better if there is a sound card. Even the
very cheapest sound card will perform better than the on-motherboard audio
controller.
