JS: IX/MIDI Variant
From CockosWiki
Description:
- MIDI Pattern Variation Effect. This effect listens to the input channel and replaces some of the notes with random(ish) notes. Which notes get replaced is controlled by a sequence file and what they get replaced with is controlled by a scale file. Some common scales and simple sequences are included but it's very simple to create your own. See below for details on scale/sequence files. Scale and sequence files should be located in the folders 'ix_scales' and 'ix_sequences' within the REAPER 'Data' folder.
- Put simply, this effect counts notes and checks against the sequence file whether each note should be passed or modified. If a note is to be modified then a random note within the defined scale is substituted. Note that if you play a chord of four notes, the sequence counter will see four notes and advance four steps.
- This effect doesn't really care what scale values you give it (unlike KeySnap which is very fussy.) Any number of offset values from -127 to 127 is fine. Output values exceeding the MIDI note range will be clamped accordingly.
Parameters:
- Input Channel - Channel to work on.
- Note Min - Note range minimum. Notes lower than this will not be affected.
- Note Max - Note range maximum. Notes higher than this will not be affected.
- Root Note - Root note to base the scale on.
- Scale File - File containing the scale information.
- Low Octave - Lowest octave for generated notes.
- High Octave - Highest octave for generated notes.
- Sequence File - File containing the sequence information.
- On/Off - On/Off switch. Not quite the same thing as bypass.
Tips:
- The On/Off switch resets the sequence counter. You can automate it to force the sequence to start at a specific point in your track.
