Scales over more than one octave.

Post by crumhorn » Tue Aug 02, 2011 5:01 pm

Id like to set up scales that don't necessarily repeat after one octave.

eg to feed random notes into a scale that just selects the notes that fall on the degrees of a 13th chord spread over 2 octaves..

or more generally for randomly generated serial music using tone rows of any length.

hat's possible with the existing devices: you can set up a midi effect rack that contains one scale effect for each octave (using the note-ranges for the chain selector).
Once you have that you can easily edit each octave's scale.

^^^ Thanks for the reply.

It's exactly what I ended up doing. But I couldn't help thinking "wouldn't it be nice if ..."

How about have 128x128 midi note router (instead of 12x12 we have right now)?

That would be ideal also for remapping drum kits etc.
