id like my piano playing to trigger a midi event for each note press, but i want the midi from the instrument to interpret it at C4 each time. does anyone know the easiest way to do this?

Thanks

For small range use Scale.

Larger, two Pitch midi devices. One at min, one at max. Maybe a third to set the note.

hey thanks for the thought but this doesnt work- i want all notes at all octaves to hit at C4.

Did you try the second suggestion?

yes- it doesnt actually filter anything out, it only omits notes. i need every midi note keypress action to hit c4, or a small range of notes

perhaps i need a max for live device for this?

ah great! that worked. thank you

can you let me know how i would add a small range a few notes above and a few notes below to that?

thanks

The jpeg that gave you the solution is now gone lol. How did you solve this? I have the same need.

You're in luck. I wanted to do the exact same and figured it out. You need 2 "Pitch" plugin instances.

1st Pitch instance

• Set Pitch to -128st
• Leave Range at +127st
• Leave Lowest at C-2

2nd Pitch instance

• Set Pitch to +60st if you want C3
• Leave Range at +127st
• Leave Lowest at C-2

Basically, the 1st Pitch instance "resets" all notes (there are 128 notes separated by a semitone, and you're reducing them all by 128 semitones, so they're all at C-2 effectively).

Then the 2nd Pitch instance increases the note again, from C-2 to your desired pitch. Here I increase it by 60 semitones, which is 5 octaves, which means I go from C-2 to C3 (the "middle" of the keyboard, and usually the note where the sample is not pitchted).
