hi,<br><br>i'm working on a little project in which some notes with random pitches and duration appear at random time intervals. Each note is packed in a "midi" format (pitch and velocity), with a note-off event (pitch and zero velocity) sent after the note duration interval.<br>
<br> it can happen that a new note is generated before the previous one has been stopped.That's not a trouble, since i can handle it with [poly], eventually set to 1 voice and with voice stealing to force a "monophonic" melody. <br>
<br></blockquote><div>Hi Athos, <br></div><div><br>Since you want it to be monophonic, why don't you just force a note-off for the previous note, right before the note-on of the new note ?<br>If you want rests inbetween the notes you could also use [pipe]---[pack f 0], and [flush( the [pipe] when a new note arrives, so that if the previous note had not finished yet, the scheduled note-off for it is sent early, before the new note-on...<br>
does that make sense ?<br>(attached is an example)<br><br>Tim<br><br><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The problem appears if the new note coming has the same pitch than the previous one. This is impossible for a "real" midi keyboard, in fact a key can be played again only after it has been released.<br>
This leads to an undesired behaviour of [poly]: if there are more than 1 voice, i have the sum of different voices playing the same note, with an undesiderd increase of the volume. Even worse, when the voice is only one, the note-off message of the previous note stops the new note before its assigned time duration!<br>
<br>I tried to set up a strategy to avoid this, but with no results. Any idea?<br><br>thanks,<br><font color="#888888">athos<br> </font><br>
