you don't need a plugin.

instead of playing the vst directly, create a clip for each note that you want to play. make the notes very very long, and use midi remote to trigger the clip for each note when you press the note.

use clip quantise to select what you want to quantise to.

use gate mode ...

Still have not figured this out. Would an external MIDI timeclock allow for something like this?

In the meantime, I guess I have thought of a better way to word what I need. A way to delay the [Note On] signal until the next logical starting point.

quantizing is only useful for clips. can't do it in the arpeggiator because it hits the note again after that. As I said before, I simply need a way to force ableton to hold a midi note until the next beat, regardless of how long the note is held. it just needs to hold the [NOTE ON] signal

I don*t know exactly what you mean, can you explain a bit more detailed?

I've attempted to use Ableton's built in arpeggiator to force the note to the correct beat, but it also forces the ...

I'm in the middle of a huge mixing/mastering session, and my older laptop is having a tendency to top out while running all ...

So I was thinking, it'd be nice to be able to play every keyboard part in all of my songs. The only problem is that some of those keyboard parts must be hit at exactly the right time. Now, the V-Station VSTi has no problems with this, the arpeggiator actually waits until the next beat to start ...
