"Quantize MIDI Effect" in real time
"Quantize MIDI Effect" in real time
Hello,
I'm looking for a "MIDI effect" device, but haven't found it in Live.
It would be a "MIDI quantizer", i.e. each MIDI message coming will be postponed to the next 1/16 tick.
i.e. all what you play will always be in sync (but maybe slightly delayed, of maximum 1/16 note).
(I tried doing this with the Arpeggiator device, but I couldn't do it work because chords were always arpeggiated, which I don't want.)
I imagine this can be done out of the box with the built-in MIDI effects (and without M4L), but how?
Thanks!

You can use the Arpeggiator device in Chord Trigger mode (Style chooser) and set the Repeats to 1.
Re: "Quantize MIDI Effect" in real time
Thakns for your reply @garyboozy.
Setting Repeat to 1 will output 2 notes (the original and 1 repeat --> 2 notes).
Unfortunately there is no Repeat = 0
Would you have another idea?

Repeat=1 plays 1 note here, not 2.
Re: "Quantize MIDI Effect" in real time
My bad, it was because of another setting (Transpose column, Steps=1)!
So now with Chord Trigger + Repeats = 1, only one note indeed
One last problem: this Arpeggiator device also makes the length of the note shorter (1/16). What I'd like instead is:

- the Note On (played on keyboard) should be quantized to the next 1/16 (this is working now thanks to your technique @garyboozy)
- the Note Off (key release) should be quantized to the next 1/16, but if for example we keep the key pressed 2 seconds and then release, this NoteOff should happen 2 seconds later, at the next 1/16

Re: "Quantize MIDI Effect" in real time
Very close to THE solution except this: the Note Off (key release) should be quantized to the next 1/16... for example we keep the key pressed 2 seconds and then release, this NoteOff should happen 2 seconds later, at the next 1/16.
Currently all notes have the same length after the use of this arpeggiator... Any idea @garyboozy?

Re: "Quantize MIDI Effect" in real time
cant you use max devices? this one looks ideal:
https://maxforlive.com/library/device/1 ... i-quantize
otherwise i'm not sure it's possible with native-only devices.

Perfect it's exactly this!
Many thanks
