Map parameter without MIDI controller

Post by davaughn » Sun Aug 25, 2013 6:58 pm

Hi!

I'm auditing songs at several different key signatures so I have a Pitch Midi device in front of all my synths. Is there any way to easily change all the transpose knobs without editing each one? I was thinking, if I had a midi controller, I could map each pitch to a knob and move it, but there has got to be a way without the actual controller. Maybe a trick with "key" mapping? Thanks!

Great Idea- and I am. I know how to do that with single notes, but what would be the way to do it to change keys several semitones... you can't map a midi note to just "up" on a knob or "down", right? You need to map each value to a different note? I guess you could map 11 keys, but just curious if you knew.
