I know there are plugins to supress/correct MIDI-notes not matching to a preselected scale.
But is there a plugin where I can play a note (or chord) with the left hand (or one MIDI-channel) and then the notes played with the right hand (or another MIDI-channel) are corrected to that scale (respectively supressed)?

No one has an idea?

If you use energyXT it should be easy to create a 'keyboard split' where one section of the keyboard is routed to one scale enforcer plugin, and the other part of the keyboard is routed to a different instance of the scale enforcer plugin (set to a different scale).

It is probably also possible to set up something similar in other hosts like SX3, the exact method would depend on which host you use etc.

What if you weren't playing a scale properly with your left hand? How would it know what scale you were playing? And if you play only one note with your left hand, what scale and key is that in? And what of scales in different keys, but with the same or most of the same incidentals? For instance Gmajor and Cmajor are only different by one incidental, but if you haven't hit that note, how would it know?

It'd be like those BPM tempo tappers, where the BPM is always different every time you tap, because nobody's perfect. But BPM is far simpler type of information. Your scales would shift all over the place as you play.

The original poster doesn't specify that they want the plugin to guess the scale, in fact they use the term "preselected scale", which is possible with current plugins/hosts, of course if you are questioning the benefit of using such a configuration then that is a different issue.

I mean a chord recognition like in arranger keyboards but with a filter-/correction function for the other hand, for example for quick solo-play without the possibility of mistakes

MIDI-note corrector plugin for live use with various scales?
