Yes, I did
I know that. I work with the pitch bend method already, for example with Sibelius. In this case, it would be just one patch with the PB range set to +2 /-2
- Microtonal adjustments usually are specific to notes, so you'd either need 12 keys reserved for steering the pitch of every key across all octaves if you retain 12 keys per octave, or as many pitch keys as you have note keys if you have more or less than 12 keys per octave.
I thought that Pitch Bends are active for the whole channel, like the pitch bend wheel, so 6 general modifiers must be enough.
- All of this requires quite good timing in a live environment and quite some non-musical focus on the performance, as you'd have to constantly think "Ok, next note will be F#4 but 15 cent up so I need to hold down...D#-1 simultaneously to achieve that. Then I'll play Bb4 but 3 cent flat, that'll need...um...ah...hang on..."
Exactly! And if I write that out, a well-trained professional player shouldn't have any trouble with that. But I'd like to test if this will work
You decide if that's a promising route.If you have fixed values per note it can be tied to the actual notes without need for extra pitch keys, but then why not directly use that very setting in Project Settings/ Tuning which then also works polyphonically?
Because the Tuning options are not suited for my need. I need 12 x 6 = 72 pitches per octave. Another route we might take is to retune the samples within EXS24 to a custom key mapping. That's a safe solution!
Thanks!
