Simple transpose device - hanging MIDI notes
Hello,
I am trying to make a simple transpose device for Ableton Live as part of a bigger project. It is held real simple.
When I turn on a midi clip in Ableton Live and turn it off after a while I get stuck notes. I found [flush] and [midiflush] as well as [midiparse] and [midiselect] but the documentation is not as detailed and I think others might have run into this issues as well.
Any ideas/hint/tutorials on how to solve this?
BTW, my [Key dial] should be a [Step dial], but that was what I had for copy paste ... ;)
[midiflush], I think :
NB : without note duration, the last note played may last for ever ?
You have to use switch to
turn all currently held notes off.
That transposer is not really well done.
Direct midi passes note off, transposed side not,
when switch gets toggled, notes hang because there is
noting there to turn them off.
Ok, I understood the problem now. Thanks a lot to both of you. I came up with this now:
That transposer is not really well done.
You might be right with this, but its hard to grasp what could be there to improve the transposer overall. Do you have any more suggetions?
Not without infos about what you really want.
for example, what should happen when you
change transposing value while a note is held ?
ignore it ? or shift it ?
how do you deal with note off ?
use makenote, or properly link transposed notes to their note offs ?
Thanks for these hints. I will think about your questions further and come back here, once I found my answers.
I figured I am having this problem all over my projects since I am routing multiple key/octave transposers, scale transposes, arpeggiators, chrodiators and sequencers into and next to each other. So it's gonna take a while to figure out, what exactly I will need in which situation.
Maybe a useless comment : you have native very efficient transposers, arpeggiators, scale, chordiators (?) etc in Live.
