Chandra Pars Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Hi, Trying to output a random note for any given MIDI note as the input. The random note is to be picked from a set of notes specified. Followed these steps: 1. In the Transformer window, 'Mode' is set to default. 2. Under 'Conditions', made only one change, Status to '= Note'. 3. In the 'Operations' area, only the third column (pitch) is changed. Here, items such as 'Add', 'Sub', 'Min' and 'Max' work as expected. But with the same setup, choosing 'Random' does not work. The 'Random' option gives a range of notes we can select, for example, say C3 to B3. But it works as if 'Thru' is chosen. (Pls see snapshot if reqd). Seems some additional setting is required to make it work.. Any help please?

Eriksimon Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) What you did should work, everything looks correctly configured. I'll see how it behaves here... {later...} Rats! I cannot get it to work either. It just does nothing. Defining a pitch range (instead of Pitch: all) does not make a difference either.

Eriksimon Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Ah, so Random means it randomly never works! Too bad... back to babies bashing keys or pets "playing" piano... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 ...It works if you send MIDI notes to the transformer from a region... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I see! Makes it even stranger that realtime doesn't work... the code is there, and to me the transformation from the region notes happens instantaneously, as far as I can tell... Dr. Gerhard, what were you thinking here...? (I'm hooked on screenshots lately...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandra Pars Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Glad to know that 'random' function works fine during playback. This will do for me. Many thanks for guidance and snapshots. Hoping new versions will have the bugs fixed for real-time trigger. Best Regards, Chandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It´s the same with the arpeggiator. It only works, if the sequencer is running ... some environment objects do behave strange ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 No, it's not the same...that's the expected behavior with the arpeggiator. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Once you know it, you expect it ... but it makes no sense ... just my opinion ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Arpeggiators (software and hardware) need some sort of clock to run. Logic's arpeggiator relies on Logic's clock to run. Makes perfect sense if you know how arpeggiators work. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sorry, two people, two opinions ... in ableton live there is no need starting the sequencer to generate a clock for the arp ... in "every" au synth plugin I bought there is no need to let the sequencer run to fire up the arp ... in my old SH-101 I engage the arp function ... and it is arpeggiating .... Logic does not generate a clock when its in "stop" mode ... that´s the problem .. it´s by design ... Beside that - and a few other issues - Logic is still the best sequencer for me ...

Eriksimon Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sorry, two people, two opinions ... Eh, no, that's not "opinion", that's fact. Arpeggiators do need some sort of clock to run. And some synths do have their own built in system that (can) run independent of whether or not Logic is playing, such as Ultrabeat or Albino or Podolski or Zebra e.a. Neither of these facts depend on opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n6smith Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sheldon: Thanks to you, my career is over and I will spend the rest of my life here in Texas trying to teach evolution to creationists. Mrs Cooper: You watch your mouth, Shelly. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. Sheldon: Evolution isn’t an opinion, it’s fact. Mrs Cooper: And that is your opinion.

Dr. Gerhard, what were you thinking here...? Maybe some objects to work require that the data be processed through MIDI thru first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
