MIDI (CC?) generator - output values from a predefined text list

[djskope]

Hi I am looking for a MIDI generator VST which may or may not exist.

Does anybody know of a VST or app that can
1. pull in
and
2. transmit a pre-defined sequence of numbers?

I guess something like an array i.e. (3, 15, 21, 33, 45...)

BACKGROUND

I have made a soundfont/sfz of 128 patches of the same genre. They are all single hit dnb bass hits/stabs

Unfortunately, out of these 128 patches, only about an eighth of them (say 16) will compliment eachother for a particular song

I am trying to semi randomly select from a shortlist of these 16 complimentary patches

METHOD

The tune I am working on cycles round
a 16 bar drum loop on track 1 which is the backbone.

On track 2, the magic happens: every time I play a bass note, it also triggers a program change - so I hear a different, but complementary patch on every key press.

I will be loop/cycle recording and I am hoping that this experimental method will help to generate some nice jungle sequences.

N.B. Alternatively, I think if CCs are generated instead of Program Changes, I can still use these as they are easy to translate to Prog Change messages in Cubase. Also can probably translate even MIDI note numbers...

I mention this last point as CC VSTs are more popular than Program Change VSTs

Many Thanks for any suggestions which can take a list or array of values as input.

Is this the type of thing your looking for?

Thanks Eauson - looks promising - will install and try it out tonight.

Fingers crossed it can be configured to randomly iterate round and transmit CC values from a pre-defined list of numbers at each Note On msg.

From a UX perspective, it feels like it would be more convenient to accept a textual list of patch numbers (rather than representing a precise list of numbers by many mouse clicks on a graphical bar) so if anybody does know of a MIDI generator that can work with a text list, please do still post.

Ahh, ok
This may be similar to what you want

I think Piz midi fx may also have something, just don’t know where they are hosted
There is more possibilities with Reaper JS scripts but I’m not sure there is a JS script wrapper vst, I’ve looked for one before, no joy
