Hi,

I use Simpler to play a simple phrase.
I want to make kind of a phrase-synth.

When i put a phrase in simpler and hit c-note the phrase plays.
Now when i hit a higher note, the tempo of the phrase changes and also the pitch, it plays faster..

Is it possible not to change the tempo, but only the tune / pitch?

I hope you get it...

you can do that with clips. you can assign clips to a range of midi notes, playing them will increase/lower pitch but not the tempo.
Check the manual

hmm, i dont get it.

I did read the manual, but couldnt find it. Do you know what page?
I have the reference manual of version 6.

Simpler is a very nice tool, but i cant find a way NOT to change tempo, but only the pitch / tune..

you can't do it with simpler. But you can do it with a clip in session view.

put the sample into a clip slot in session view

Go into midi-assign-mode

press the middle-c on your midi-keyboard, and while you have it pressed, press another key more upwards and then another one mor downwards on the keyboard. This will define the range of notes that is assigned on that clip.

go out of midi-assign mode

Now go into the clip view and select qunatize-none

Now you can "play" the clip on your midi-keyboard, within the range that you had defined before.

You might want to experiment with different quantization settings.

Thanks a lot! It took me some time to find.. Now i've got it!

Thanks again!

Try legato mode with this, too.
