Serious Question for the Pros

[iand]

Hello all. I guess I would like to start out that I'm looking for advice from experienced programmers that were raised on using traditional instruments(i.e. guitar,piano,brass,strings). 18 months ago I purchased my first synth. Had barly an idea of what a synthesizer was, let alone any of the internal workings of one. Had no idea what midi was, or all the fucking implemention involved with it. I have developed a more than basic understanding of all this, I am primarlly in need of advice for key editor-type programs in sequencer applications. Is there some kind of flow to it? Or is it just one of those things where you have to do it over and over and over again, to feel it? I would like to preprogram all my midi notes in the editor. It just seems unnatural, since I am 27 and have played traditional instuments since age 6. I am teaching myself(no guidance). It seemed all very easy until I got to this point. So if anyone has any pointers, I would be much appreciative. I own the Virus TI. I have just been turned onto this site, I have read some interesting articals. I don't know about most of you, but the Virus TI is most incredible synth I have ever heard. Sure it has some issues about the Virus control. But I didn't purchase it for that. I purchased it for the sound. The plugin control was a nice available option. At the very least it can be used to adjust the internal and patch/multi settings. I have had very little trouble with mine. [/b]
