Overview
| Name | Version: | Directional Scale 1.0.1 | 
| Author: | dennisdesantis | 
| Device Type: | MIDI Effect | 
| Description: | A clone of Live's Scale MIDI effect, modified to allow different scales to be used when ascending and descending. The most common real-world example of this is the melodic minor scale, which is the same as natural minor when descending but uses a raised 6th and 7th scale degree when ascending. In this device the choice of scales is arbitrary for each direction. version 1.01 Dennis DeSantis April 13, 2019 Known issues: - chords don't have a notion of "direction," so you will get unpredictable results. This isn't a bug; it's just the nature of this musical situation. Credits: - the Max PitchScaler device from the M4L Building Tools Pack provided most of the transposition logic. - Chris Muir's NoOverlap abstraction solved the issue of multiple identical notes cutting each other off. - the solution for hung notes when changing transpositions is a modified version of a patch provided by Bill Canty Changelog: 0.6 - added info texts - parameters are now automatable - input display now ignores note-offs. Result: doesn't jump around so much, and is more useful. 0.61 - tiny optimizations 1.0 - hung notes should now be prevented - output also ignores note-offs 1.01 - fixed a bug in which hung notes could occur when using multiple instances of the device  |
