Pitch MIDI effect "InKey" enhancement for Push and Launchpad

[Buleriachk]

("Inkey" enhancement for Push and Launchpad)

(Use fixed-pitch font like Courier for alignment)

The Pitch MIDI effect (or a separate Midi effect) should indicate the key center (maj) and allow transposition around the Circle of Fifths... (cw - in fifths, ccw in fourths)

(One could uses the +/- keys to transpose by steps, with the above indicator changing row configuration accordingly)

Also, a momentary button or use the upward arrow to set a major scale for a given key around the Cycle of fifths, scrollable by the l/r arrow keys in two rows (with Major (e.g. C) above and Minor (e.g. Am) below) , a downward arrow to cycle through the related natural, harmonic minor, and melodic minor for a given key.... the up arrow would return to the major....

<- Ab Eb F [C] G D A -> (Major) up arrow for major
<- Fm Cm Gm Am Em Bm F#m -> (Minor) down arrow to cycle through minors
<- G D A E B F# C# -> (Phrygian Mode- g,g# switchable depending on harmonic context
<---- L/R arrow keys ------>


A separate key could be used to just switch to the dominant 7th chord in the harmonic minor by changing the 7th while remaining in C Major or E Phrygian (where the g# is used to shift temporarily to the Am chord, and as the "tonic/final" for the Andalusian Cadence Am -> G -> F -> E) chord progression.

This functionality should be implemented on the computer keyboard as a user mode (M4L device?), since the right hand is then free to handle the melody/harmony "InKey", with the left hand handling the above modulation functions ....

If this has been done (either as script or M4L), please advise....

Plus one for this suggestion. Ableton definitely need to provide a way to play chords that are difficult or even imposiible to play in "In Key" ode such as Dom 7th.

I also think a "one button chord" idea is great while one pad plays the chord and the other selects the quality or inversion etc. I wonder if theres a M4L for such feature.

One other thing ableton could do would be colored pads for some drum kits, I don't want to feel jealous coz of maschine :p
