Trigger different chords/slices using just one single note ???

[omarciano]

Hi guys.

I'm wondering if there is a device, M4L or VST that allow me to play a chord progression sequentially using just one midi note.
For example: I have the McMillen 12-Step foot midi controller and want to play a chord progression (12 chords) just by playing the C1 in my foot controller.
So when I play C1 on the foot controller lets say that Ableton Live plays a Dmaj, then I release and play again the C1 and Live plays a Gmaj, then I release and play again the C1 and Live plays a Em and so on. Just need one device or vst that jump from one chord to the next in a predefined sequence. Can be whit midi chord or an audio slice that contains the chord.

Any advice will help.

Rgds!

I’d make a rack.

Use the ‘Random’ midi device to trigger sequentially increasing semitones.

Make a rack after that device which has a strip for each note that will be triggered.

Or have a drum rack after it that does the same.

Trying to think if there is an alternative to having to resort to using the Random decide.

Thank u man!

Random MIDI Device made the trick for what I need.
Chance: 100%
Choices: (the number of chords or steps your sequence is) 12 in my case
Scale: 1 (number of semitones increments)
Mode: ALT
Sign: ADD

This and the KEY Zone Editor (map or assign each chord to a different key) works very good.
I was able to make it work on MidiEffectRack using a midiclip player (Lightweight) and over DrumRack using audio slices.

Hope it can help others.

Regards!

Using Random and Scale together works nicely, but is there a way to achieve a note sequence with more than 12 steps?

If you want external VST I would look at;

- AutoTheory
- Benjamin Soma Chord Player
- J74 M4L devices
- InstaChord
- Chordio

For making /detecting /trigger chord progressions;
- Captain Chords
- Scaler
- Sundog
- Suggester

They all do slightly different things and have various ways to operate - but may help.
