Midi Rack and Pitch & Chain Select

Post by jens@primitive-visions » Sat Oct 04, 2008 2:31 pm

Hi,

I have created a midi racks with 4 chains.

1. Question
In one chain there is pitch plugin mapped to macro one, but i could not manage to get 0 in the pitch plugin? best you try it, i have entered via map mode the rage of the macro from -128 to +128 (like the pitch) but if i turn it to 64 which should be correspodend to zero in the pitch plugin, the pitch is set to +1 if i switch to 63 it goes to -1 Anybody an idea how to solve it?

2. Question
The 4 chains i put on different zone in the chain map, means chain 1 to zero, chain 2 to 1, chain 3 to 2 and chain 4 to 3. Then I have mapped the Chain selector to a macro and xan control which chains is playing via 0-3

If i record that in the arrange view it word nice but in the club modulation i am not able to manage it e.g. 4 bar loop each bar should go to another chain, set the marco to zero and try a little bit with the percentage of the modulation line in the clip, but the macro doesnt move even if i go upt to 100% any idea why? How to solve it?

thnx!

Jens

For Q1 => just put the Max value to +126 (or min on -126) -> then 0 is on 64 value

YEAHHH thats works thanks you a lot... it would be nice to have the label at the macro get also from -128 to +128 but will be ok for me, maybe somtething for the wishlist ;)

EDIT: ok the "dirty" solution does not work for me. NOw the 64 represents a zero pitch but there are others that are not get hit, e.g. 5 semitones is skipped when i set down the top broder to 126? Only every second seimtone is fit? Any other solution?

but still openthe question with the chain select? anybody an idea? maybe it is a bug? because in the arrange view it works well
