Note to Be - MIDI Quantizer [Out Now]

The app is out now:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/note-to-be-midi-quantizer/id6596771972

Hey everyone, I'm excited to announce that my new MIDI quantizer app, Note to Be, will be released soon.

  • Pick any notes you need from the main UI
  • Notes are grouped in octaves
  • 'All notes' mode picks the note on all octaves quickly
  • Play with MIDI CC (this is a great feature)
  • Incoming MIDI notes and CCs are quantized to the nearest selected note.
  • The quantized note retains the same MIDI channel as the incoming note/CC.
  • Use multiple keyboards/controllers to play multiple synths by assigning different MIDI channels.

I designed it to be a simple and fast quantizer, allowing you to pick notes quickly. I was inspired by the Intellijel Scales eurorack module while creating the app. The MIDI CC feature makes it unique, enabling you to create interesting live performances with zero mistakes.

Check it out in action:

The final UI has changed since I recorded the video, so it looks like this - way cooler imo!

  • pretty. can has?

  • And more…!!! I guess I kind of just assumed that there would be more @cem_olcay apps but having you officially state it makes me very happy.

    Yea just based off the pics I like the new look.

    Congratulations on the new one. Cheers buddy!

  • Maybe with the scrolling via knob to choose notes in a quantised way.

    It could point at multi synths.

    Another knob is how much it will send to synths. Maybe if knob left. It will start at midi ch 1. Send midi per selected bar amount. Knob right. Sends equal midi to different synths but also by chance. Chooses midi channel outputs for the notes as you also quantise scroll ( like in vid )

    Maybe it would need a linger function. To stop/bar progress of switching midi channel of the bar basis ( not the chance midi channel function from notes )

  • Dunno how it will be.

  • Looking fwd to this new creation.

  • What I would like is a midi app that spreads incoming chords across multiple midi channels to create choirs, string , brass or woodwind sections in AUM.

    @_ki made a Mozaic script worth studying that splits up to 5 parts I believe called Divisi something… I will look up the link on patchstorage.

    I’ve requested divisi output from a couple chord app devs but I don’t think they see a huge user base for the feature:
    Suggester and Piano Motifs for examples.

  • @cem_olcay, if it's not too late, you might want to consider being specific that this is a MIDI Scale Quantizer or something like that. Quantizing can refer to timing or scale. From the thread title, I thought you had a nifty timing quantizer thingy coming out.

    "Scale" isn't the greatest term for this since it goes beyond named scales. I'm not sure what would be best to use.

    Not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it since there is some ambiguity there.

    It’s a note quantizer, I thought it was obvious from its name and the description :smile:
    Nothing to do with the timing. You can select a scale or pick the notes yourself from the entire palette on the main UI one by one.

    That was obvious in about two seconds by the app description. However, "Quantizing" is ambiguous. It can mean quantizing the note number or it can mean quantizing the note timing.

    If you don't see it as a problem then that's cool. I just thought I'd point it out.

    Yes you’re right. It’s good to clarify :smile:

  • Constrain Bud?

    I like the concept of it no matter what you name it @cem_olcay.

    Although to be fair, quantizing note timing in real-time is impossible, except if the plug-in used Apple's undocumented Time Travel API (FauxTime) 😉

  • @cem_olcay you gotta sale off that video

  • I can totally see this app augmenting other apps that are sending out MIDI notes like Binarhytmic or Snakebud or even an Audiomodern apps like Riffer. Playing CC's sounds interesting - never heard of that, but I also like the idea of CC quantization - you could take something thats sending CC values and alter the pattern in different ways by modifying the selection of quantized values. I think I could really go crazy with this one.

  • Love the gui, Cem!

    Out of curiosity, I’m running some naming suggestions in Gemini based on the app description. Will post the gnarlist

  • cool! can it load tunings? does it work polyphonically?

    coming from the modular world, this is the usual name for what it does

    sounds like it would fit perfectly behind the kebarp

  • Haven’t got a clue what I’m doing yet but getting some interesting results. Looking forward to the iOS big hitters bringing out a tutorial video.


  • The app preview video:

  • A great new tutorial from Sound for More!

    Not to derail thread, and maybe you're already aware, but in desktop world there is an app called Divisimate that does this, and more. They recently came out with a plugin version, but it's VST3/AU/AAX only, no iOS version:

    I can add channel mask per octave or even per note to achieve that. I have also plans for adding “pitch bend per note” for creating microtonal scales. I don’t know how many people would want this but it’d be a powerful feature!

    that would be so great! just bought the app

  • @cem_olcay, is this an introductory price or its permanent price? Thanks.

  • @cem_olcay
    I always wanted something like this and I already started scripting in Mozaic. For me there is only one thing missing.
    It would be great to be able to transponse the incoming MIDI per Pattern, oder even per channel.
    I use the Rozetta scaler in chromatic mode before going into “note to be” and modulate the transpose parameter to get that effect. Having the transpose within your app would be genius!

  • What happens if you send in multiple midi cc on the same channel?

    You create chords and polyphony! :smile:

  • @cem_olcay , Enjoying experiments with this but I'm getting problems with saving presets in AUM.

    If I save several patterns in Note to Be and then save that as a preset in AUM.
    After saving the project in AUM and reopening it I'll find that the note patterns I've made across all of the octaves have vanished and I'm back to a clean slate.

    I've tried this several times to make sure I'm saving everything correctly. One time the 1st pattern was preserved but all other patterns did not save. Another time no patterns could be saved after closing and reopening AUM.

    Oh thanks for the report, will fix it soon!
