Midi filter

Post by re:dream » Wed Aug 21, 2019 5:58 am

Is there an Ableton or Max effect that can filter MIDI notes? Only let MIDI notes above a certain pitch through to a device?

Set up a chain's Key range in a MIDI Effect Rack?

Sorry to wake this thread up after almost 5 years.

I have two midi tracks.
One Lead based instrument and another Bass based instrument midi tracks.
When both these tracks receive a midi signal, how to prevent bass from receiving higher notes say not above C3 and instead transpose them to like C2?
Ableton Live 12 Suite
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
Intel Core i7-12800HX
Crucial DDR5-4800 - 64GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 8GB RAM
Samsung 1TB SSD
Western Digital 4TB SSD

So you want both to play at once, but the Bass should stay within one octave while higher notes play on the Lead?
If so you can use the updated Pitch device on the Bass track, which now has a Fold option. Set the Lowest to C2, the Range to +11, and Mode to Fold. This will always keep the Bass notes within one octave.
