Playing midi chords like drum rack samples/mapping chords

[graphixsounds]

Is there any plugin /M4L type thing that allows you to map chords to keys ? Or something like a drum rack or drum cell that plays chords or a part of a midi file rather than samples?

You could use a drum rack with pitch & chord devices followed by whatever in the cell/s.

this is a concept that I have been obsessed with for a long time Here are all the video's I've made with different solutions using racks. I've used instrument racks vs drum racks, but drum racks would work just find and offer some other interesting features. Something to think about.

There should be download links for all the racks in there.

Here is the drum chord rack I made -

So each pad will be lit up and have a dummy chain, but with one chain receiving all notes. On this chain you have a midi effect rack which splits again into (in this case) 16 chains, each separated by key to trigger when the relevant pad is struck - You hit C1 it goes through all notes and then split again by the key selection in the midi rack.

On each of these midi chains there is a midi pitch and midi chord. You press C1 on the drum pad it will play a C1 but you can change that root note with the midi pitch, and then create a chord with the midi Chord.

At the end of all of this there is a single instrument rack you can fill with whatever you want. For any additional control on the synth, you will have to set up macros at the the first instance in the drum rack and turn off auto select.
