For me, the perfect MIDI app for me would be one what can randomise the incoming notes. The randomisation would be subtle changes in pitch, where the "note on" signal falls (for groove purposes), and of course velocity.
Sounds exactly like Midiflow Randomizer
It's only $1.99? Instabuy. Thanks mate.
You're welcome!
Great thread by the way. I've been listening... One of the mentioned things is already waiting for review, another one almost finished developing. Many of the other things were already on my todo list.
Sounds great, I've already been enjoying the AB3 Midiflow apps you've made.
Midi learn for all the midi flow devices?
Groove quantise - you load a MIDI file and the 'groove' from that file is applied to any incoming midi.....
+1?
I would like a device that changes notes to CCs or PCs, CCs to notes or PCs etc.
Seems like this could be handled already with presets with @JohannesD AB3 tools?
Hmmm ok, nice to know.........I'll be honest I haven't yet fired up AB3 or the MIDI processors....I've been on hols with the family and have not done much in the way of music save for a very quick mess with Gadget and Rosario
We need a way to make our own midi fx so a scripting app like scriptsonic would be great if it could be an Audiobus 3 midi effect and input..
+1
Any chance of updating scriptsonic for AB3 @macduff ?
Performance style FX like Stutter, Note repeat, MIDI Mute, a Note mapper (for making drum maps between apps and hardware), a CC Mapper for making controller templates without need for MIDI learn (and subsequent loss of learnt MIDI assignment)
I hope the note mapper comes soon! For the use case that @AndyPlankton mentions (drum hardware).
Oooh!! Please say that it is a StepPolyArp-like sequencer!!! Can you please tell us what the apps are?
@Carnbot - yes, I hope to. The sdk isn't fully avavilable yet, but when it is I'll see how the new midi stuff works & wire it in...
Great, think I'll buy it if it becomes compatible as I think it'll be an interesting thing to play around with in AB3. But I presume only one instance will be possible...
Like others, will repeat my wishes from another thread (in the secret hope that @JohannesD will interpret them as new votes
).
My two favourite types of chorder/harmonizer effects are only available on the desktop, at this point. AFAICT, they’re not covered by the existing arp apps, though some can get close. They’re especially useful for monophonic input (like a wind controller, Cf. EWI Users thread) but they’d work really well with sequencers.
What are they?
Well, one is rotating three voices under an incoming MIDI note in an effect popularized by Michael Brecker’s use of the Oberheim Xpander as programmed by Robby Kilgore (who wrote about it and made an Arduino-based device for this). The effect is that you get several chord types as accompaniment to a melody. This type of thing is a bit tricky to implement, but it’s remarkably useful and a whole lot of fun to play.
The other type of chorder/harmonizer layers voices on top of the incoming note, but it does so according to either deterministic patterns or some randomization. In my experience, mucoder’s tonespace is pretty unique in that it allows for a whole lot of sophistication and granularity in terms of things like voicings and scale-fitting. But, like the “Michael Brecker Effect”, it produces more than one type of chord per note.
In tonespace, one thing which was particularly neat was that excluding non-scale notes can make it so that you can play between single notes and chords. For instance, you could play the pentatonic scale which complements the major scale (the “black keys”, when playing in C major) and add diverse chords for effect by playing the associated scale notes.
Of course, any kind of chorder/harmonizer would be useful. It’s already possible to do something like the Chord Effect + Scale Effect from Ableton Live, using MIDIflow apps. With multiple instances using the same input, you make it so that any note you play produces chords which fit the scale. That’s a lot of fun but it’s a fairly complicated setup which could be collapsed into a single app. It’d also be fun to assign a given chord to each MIDI note, as you can on the Novation Circuit. That would help create easy chord progressions and such. Not to mention the standard “EDM Chords” effect of having parallel thirds and fifths on top of any note.
In other words, there’s a whole set of chordal possibilities when you have MIDI effects. Not everyone may care at first but it could make a lot of music a lot “jazzier”.
I will +1 this as a beginning EWI and pedal bass player.
I'd like an addition to the randomizer @JohannesD ......with note random could there be an option for having a set note that randomly gets played instead of the incoming note.....
I'd use this for creating random Open hats when input is closed hats, or random rimshots when input is snare type of thing...
or if it were a list of specific notes..then it could be used for random High/Mid/Low toms etc....
Hi @JohannesD,
Tinkering at GTL forum I wondered about the possibility of gameKit implementation as device input. It could be add to midiflow not necessary as AB3 plug.
The idea is add some gaming device controllers as inputs in the app and then transform these data into midi one. It's asking for too much or it could be possible achieve something like OSCulator done in macOS?
Thanks.
That's a good suggestion. In general I haven't found the tonal randomization MIDI filter to be all that useful, even in conjunction with the scale filter. I rarely get very musical results. I must be doing something wrong...
The velocity and timing randomisations on the other hand are brilliant for humanisation.
Yep, those two are fantastic!
I need a remapper for CCs, PCs and notes that can change the incoming data from external controllers to whatever I want to send to the receiver app.
Regular midiflow does it so make it plug should be possible (I wonder)...
Sorry if this has been mentioned already or if there is already an AB3 midi effect like it but I'm thinking of humming the melody or the bass line into the iPad mic and the midi filter converting it into midi. There's a feature like that in ThumbJam and I think it can be used for that but maybe an AB3 midi effect like that would be more covenient.
Pretty processor intensive for a MIDI plug in I'd say. MIDI effects tend to be confined to the MIDI domain also.
The best pitch to MIDI converter on iOS for my money is MIDI Guitar, but that isn't on the old bus, never mind the new one. Great tech regardless, polyphonic too.
