Alternation

[HrrMigh]

Inspired by Halion String Edition, in which a keyswitch was implemented that could effectively create up/down spiccato. Such an alternation mechanism would however, also greatly facilitate music creation and sampling in different settings, such as left/right hand drumming.

My idea to implement this, was to create some line of code that would use only one bit of memory. When a (possibly multiple) note(s) are entered in midi data, the variable should go from 0 to 1, or if it's already 1, from 1 to 0. At that point, it would be possible to write a statement like 'if that variable is 1' -> 'transpose the note + 36'. You could then map using any decent sampler, the lower octaves to up-spiccato and the higher octaves to down-spiccato, or left-hand and right-hand, respectively, drumming.

I would like to know if there's someone here who could help me with this, suggest some vst or tool that could do this trick (cubase transformer midi effect doesn't help much).

Thanks.
