I made this little test : played a C3 note to a synth, checked with amplitube's tuner that it was perfect a C3 +/- 0 cent. Then I bounced it to audio to be able to loop/transpose it. Re-checked that the bounced sample had the same perfect tune.
Then I assigned a knob to live's transpose button, played with it while checking the tuner.
The results is : the 127 steps are mistakenly divided on the +48/-48 transpose range.
It's impossible to retrieve the C3 when sending a 64 MIDI CC value (should be the middle of the 0 - 127 range). Instead, you get "C3 +38 cent" tune, and a 63 MIDI CC value will give you a "C3 -34 cent" tune. The only way to go back to C3 is to move the transpose button with your mouse to any value, then set it (still with your mouse) to zero.
As previously described, nearly NO transpose value are correctly tuned!!
So I think that two options should b added to the midi mapping of this button :
- The ability to decide wich range should be assigned -> little ranges will allow pitchbend effects
- Add to the info box this little tip : to get perfectly tuned values, enter range -32/32 to the transpose button, so that each CC step (0 to 127) is equivalent to a 1/2 transpose value
- a tick box to set 1 CC value = 1 transpose so that
Code: Select all
CC value / Transpose value
0 to 16 = -48
17 = -47
18 = -46
... = ...
63 = -1
64 = 0
65 = +1
... = ...
111 = +47
112 to 127 = +48
