Midi filter > only midi notes needed

Post by filter_7 » Tue Oct 29, 2013 3:58 pm

Hi, i'm searching for a very simple device (it can be VST, M4L....):

I need a midi filter to block everything but midi notes; no other messages must be recorded into the track, just notes.

I need it 'cause my Virus C records too many unwanted things...

Do you know if already exists?

If you want notes only drag in a blank m4l midi effect.

Disconnect the midi in to midi out.

Make a "midiparse" and "midiformat" object.

Connect the midi in outlet to the midiparse inlet.
Connect the first midiparse outlet to the first midiformat inlet.
Connect midiformat to midi out.

Notes only.

Hi shadx312, would you be so kind to code what you told and paste it here?

Unfortunately I am on a near zero knowledge of M4L and i don't know if I can do it...

I am sure it would be very helpful for other players too :)

Ok I tell ya what. For 5 dollars I'll throw in switches that can block/unblock cc's and program changes 8O

The knowledge on how to set up switches pays for itself tenfold.

Cool, thanks for posting this. I started getting into M4L a few weekends ago, and small, easy examples like this are easy to understand and build on.

No problem. I was trying with just pasting code but it didn't play well with presentation mode.
