MIDI limiting note range.
MIDI limiting note range.
is there a way anyone knows of to limit or compress the range of incoming midi notes to ableton?
i have an arppeggiator generating midi sequences but want to be able to drag notes it generates above and below a certain range back into that range.
ta.

Re: MIDI limiting note range.
Depending on exactly what you want to do, you may be able to accomplish it through an appropriate combination of Scale and Pitch MIDI effects.
Re: MIDI limiting note range.
i've tried to do it with the midi plugins, can't get the result i want though.
what i'm trying to do is limit the range of incoming midi notes by folding anything above or below a range back into that range.
eg: c0 to b0 is the range.
a note comes in at d3
so it get's folded back to d0?

Re: MIDI limiting note range.
i made a midi effect rack for something similar a while back
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78200/octave-remapper.zip
it remaps anything outside of c3 to b3 back into that octave.
i'm sure you can adjust it to work for you.

Re: MIDI limiting note range.
wicked, works a treat.
just added extra chains for the octaves above and below what you'd already done.
thank you kindly.

Re: MIDI limiting note range.
Anyone still got that or is smart enough to construct such a rack?

nvm, found it:

ahh ok now i understand. in that case, use a midi effect rack with a Pitch device on each chain. lets say your main range is from c3 to b3 like you said originally. on the first Pitch chain, set the pitch dial to +24, the range to +11st, and lowest to c1. this will transpose the pitch up by 2 octaves only for the c1 to b1 range. on the second chain, set the pitch dial to +12, and lowest to c2. use the same method for as many chains/ranges that you want repitching."

Re: MIDI limiting note range.
FWIW, the octave remapper rack can be grabbed here
Re: MIDI limiting note range.
Thanks so much, waaay easier to understand with your example.

Just found a max for live device that does this super efficiently: https://maxforlive.com/library/device/5534/midi-fold
