'm working on a project to use a series of piezo mics to send signal into daw abelton then the signal triggers a wav sample.
In principal I can do it I'm Aptrigga 3.0 as i briefly tried the demo version.
But I have a series of instruments to set up about 12 or so in total instruments and each instrument has about 8 or so different notes played on it imagine a series of instruments triggered from a dummy xylophone.
So that's about 12 "kits" to set up.
The signal from the piezo mic on the instrument will be similar for each different note i play or hit so I'm trying to get my head around how I would assign each wav to each particular note on the dummy xylophone.
Is this possible in something like Aptrigga or are there better options or even something hosted already in Ableton. I'm using Live 10 Suite.
Cheers

Hi Andyroo66, welcome to KVR!

First of all, there is an apulSoft company forum on KVR...you may want to report your own post to a moderator (click on the "!" next to the thumbs/up down at the top right of the post) and ask them to move it there. There's also a KVR DIY forum.

Beyond that - as by definition piezos are very sensitive to pressure variations - the problem seems to be "How to prevent crosstalk from distinct sensors from mis-triggering notes?" I don't have a good answer to that, though perhaps processing each piezo with a steep narrow bandpass filter set to a unique frequency range could work.

Can you say more about the dummy xylophone? If you're not attached, a modern MPE MIDI controller like the Sensel Morph lets you define arbitrary zones that can then send distinct MIDI messages. I also use Ableton Live 10 Suite - have you looked at Max For Live devices to disambiguate sensor signals? Good luck and I'd like to hear your eventual solution! :tu:
