Merge two MIDI signals (pitch of A, velocity and rhythm of B)
Hi there,
Does anybody know of a Max4Live device that can merge two MIDI signals together in real time? I am playing drum pads and want to use the velocity and timing of my hits to trigger notes in Operator, however, I want the pitch to follow a melody from the playback of a separate MIDI clip. I ideally want to use four different pads/synth voices/melodies at the same time,
If a patch doesn't exist, would it work edit MIDI send and receive to allow input from the drum pads as well as a MIDI clip slot?
Many thanks in advance
You could do it with a step sequencer for sure. Zack Steinkamp has one that triggers pitches via incoming gates but not using incoming velocity, I forget the name but if you google him and m4l it’ll probably pop up. You wouldn’t be able to do it with a clip but you could build something that gets the notes via the LOM from a clip and uses them to populate a list of notes to use in a sequencer driven by incoming gate/velocity instead of a clock.
