Tracking note-off msgs...
Hi,
I'm trying to make a (presumably) simple M4L patch that receives a MIDI note and subs a random note number for the one received, maintaining the velocity. I'm finding this is not so simple because there's no way to track note-offs, since the input note number is different from the output note number.
Any strategies here? Not looking to make this more complicated than it needs to be.
Thanks,
Brian
place original note, replacement note and velocity into coll.
remove note from coll when original not gets turned off
and send replaced note off.
that is easy part, next one would be to avoid
repeated random notes setting some conditions etc ...
hi,
Something like that?
If more then one note gets in, link between notes get lost if one does it so simple.
One has to store held and randomised notes to do it properly.
here is example using coll, but it has no double or repeated random notes filter.
Thanks for the help! Looks like it will be more involved than I had hoped, but still seems doable.
I've used a similar approach to a different problem: realtime transposition. When changing a transpose button while a note is playing, the note off will not match. You can use a similar approach with some tweaks.
If you want to avoid creating allready existing random note (which you should)
and also prevent repeating same note. then on every note On input
one must check what is allready in the pool of held notes, and what was last created one.
if match, retrigger random object.
how you do that depends what you decide to use to store current held notes
