Is there a way to “stair step” midi notes in MidiFire?
Eg: I press the same note C1 but each press a different note in the octave is spit out. So
Press 1. C1
Press 2. D1
Press 3 E1
Etc.
Thanks!

Hi jfox815 , You can use the StreamByter for this. Maintain a list of notes to 'spit out' and cycle through them on receiving the trigger note. Assuming your trigger note is C1 is as per this table and you wish to have 3 notes in your cycle as per your request, then this is how to do that: IF LOAD
# the notes in your cycle numbered from 0
# in this case 0, 1 and 2 using hex codes
# (from note to hex table)
ASS K0 = 24 26 28
# K80 = last note in cycle
# alter this if you have more/less
# than 3 notes in your cycle (defined above)
ASS K80 = 2
# current cycle position (start at 0)
ASS L0 = 0
END
# force note on/vel0 to note off
# to make life easier
9X XX 00 = 8X
# handle trigger note ON (C1/CH1)
IF M0 == 90 24
# rewrite to current cycle note
ASS M1 = KL0
END
# handle trigger note OFF C1/CH1
IF M0 == 80 24
# rewrite to current cycle note
ASS M1 = KL0
# move/cycle to next
MAT L0 = L0 + 1
IF L0 > K80
ASS L0 = 0
END
ENDRegards, Nic. |

So I appreciate your helping me out. I’ve never used stream bryter until now. When I ran your code it would only return the note C-2. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi jfox815You're right. I get the same results. Seems to be a problem with the +P flag. I was being too smart. I have amended the code above and it works for me. Regards, Nic. |

Okay.. last thing i want to be able to do. Each time one of the notes in my sequence is triggered I want it to change the dynamic clock. That should look something like.
IF
24
SEND
F0 5A 00 75 00 F7
END
All of this is over my head so I may be way wrong.

Hi jfox815 , OK, so after these lines in the above (but before the END): # rewrite to current cycle note
ASS M1 = KL0You need some if clauses that trigger when one of your note ons is mapped. Something like: IF M1 == 24
SND F0 5A 00 75 00 F7
END
IF M1 == 26
SND F0 5A 01 20 00 F7
END
IF M1 == 28
SND F0 5A 00 95 00 F7
ENDRegards, Nic. |

Thank you so much!
Essentially I've been trying to get my "setlist" an tempo across two apps who both have limited midi capabilities to be sync. This is it! Thanks again!

Here is another question for you when you have time.
If I try to send a tempo in the “80s or “90s” I get an ERR message.
Eg
IF M1 == 24
SND F0 5A 00 87 00 F7
END
It gives me an error. I can however do the reverse 78. Same with tempos beginning with 9.

Hi jfox815 , Aah, good find! Because of course 87 is not a valid midi data byte (well above the maximum of 7F). This had never occurred to me and it means that some tempos can not be set via this technique from external devices. You can work around this since it is all happening inside MidiFire by just adding in a +F flag at the end of your SND: SND F0 5A 00 87 00 F7 +FThis bypasses validity checking of the message and gets your tempo correctly to the clock. Regards, Nic. |
