Interesting, hexidecimal. I opened a midi file in a text editor
and of course couldn't read it. I have no problem with
hexidecimal, but obviously I couldn't just write the file using PD's
text feature. Does PD do hex? I know nothing about that.<br>
<br>
I have it configured now for live control, I can control anything BUT Reason.<br>
Scala uses pitch bends when creating MIDI files. Sonar sucks at handling these, it bends the notes after starting them. Other programs seem to have no problem.<br>
I have it set up simply, it just assigns tracks 1-16 not including 10
to each note and sends the pitch bend right before the note-on. I
want to make a way for it to skip the channels of active notes, so I
can use pedal points and not change their tuning halfway.<br>
<br>
Here's an updated copy of my program. The MIDI control is spread between [pd playback] and [pd commonnoteassign].<br>
One thing I forgot to do was set dsp to 0 when using MIDI. I imagine that will save lots of CPU.<br>
