Duggle Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The idea is a cross between force-to-scale and an arpeggiator notestack. Put simply, the note values of a midi stream get shifted to conform to a notestack that comes from a different midi stream. The notestack would be optionally extended by octaves up and down so that it's more like a scale that a simple notestack. Is it possible to do this already? The usecase I have is actually for live playing: The electronic drummer/percussionist plays tuned percussion that conforms (in terms of note value) to what I'm playing on one of my keyboards, or alternatively what comes from a local keyboard zone or sequencer track.

lukas412 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 This is a very cool idea. Would make jamming with someone else effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggle Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Of course rhythm and phrasing may or may not be effortless :smile: Anyhow, something similar appears to be in the midiForceToKey plugin from the (free) pizmidi VST collection. It can optionally source the scale info from another channel. So I plan to experiment with this feature by routing the various midi streams through a PC or mac host from the SEQ and try to find out if this is a worthwhile feature to consider including in SEQ.

TK. Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 If this really makes sense, then I could probably provide it as a special MIDI router option (this would actually be a bad place, but I've no better idea where to put such an "unrelated" feature without much programming effort) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Duggle Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks TK, I'll post back with my observations after I've experimented with the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
