do I need poly for this? (tr-909)
Hey,
Im sequencing 909 from Live clip and want to treat each 909 drums velocity seperately in a maxforlive patch.
what it the best/obvious way to do this?
thanks!!
Where are the 909 samples? Is it a vst, simpler or are you making the instrument in m4l.
Hey grizzle!
No, its a hardware tr-909!
Sequenced in Live session through max4Live, I want each drums midi processed seperately.
Veery basic stuff indeed, but my brain is not in max mode yet I guess...
Thanks!
I am thinking makenote takes 3 messages note, duration, velocity. I don't think you'll need poly.
You don't need M4L for this.
Just use Live's midi effect rack, select the chains by key and put velocity effect on each chain.
thanks, broc
but I dont want the features of the velocity plug, Im having other features in mind :)
is stripmote>pack>gate and -35 for "open gate outlet" to get C1 (BD) out of gate 1,C#1>gate 2 etc the best way to go?
Yes, I think that gate is best suited here.
But curious which features you have in mind that are not available with the velocity plug?
Im trying out lfos on velocity, random gates, metro based "repeaters" etc to see what makes the 909 sing and swing in an uncommon way...
"I am thinking makenote takes 3 messages"
Is is ok to skip makenote, and just send noteons with stripnote, so I can send twice as much data before choking the 909?
You could try it but you might get hanging notes. A MIDI message has three parts to each message - messagetype & channel/noteon/velocity - a noteon message has to have velocity data to be a proper message. There is something called running status but I am not sure if it works for noteon messages or at least it is more suitable to cc messages.
