anyone know any inpit quantizarion plugins?

Post

A decent input quantisation function would have to be implemented in XT, because it would be impossible for a plugin to quantize notes to a point before the song's current position.

I have just posted a walkthrough on how to do input qauntisation in realtime with no plugins in EXT.

i dunno too much about ext yet but if the cables send the signals then i think if you put a quantizer in the signal chain* before what you wanted to be quantized then it should work(i think)

Wow... amazing thread... :)

I recently posted an idea for a midi plugin in the DSP / Plugin development forum, but maybe I should have rather posted here:

I hate midi controllers that have only a limited number of setups for some VSTi's (or a fixed one, like the otherwise great MS-20 Controller or some synth keyboards), or that are difficult to program or otherwise difficult to use.

Wouldn't it be much greater, if you could insert a midi plugin in the track that maps a generic midi controller setup (all 128 controllers, maybe as a simple matrix or even with functions like inverted or min / max values) to the VST-plugin on that track? That way you would never have to change the midi setup on your controller (or if you forgot, that it screws up your synth patch, because you sent the wrong controller number). Instead you just select the track and use the same knob / slider for filter cutoff etc. This would be so much straight forward for working with controllers...

There's some cc mappers out there, but they usually only map one controller value or a few, not a whole map and they can't save their setups...

i think you need to discover the joys of midi-ox my friend

I guess midi-ox can do elaborate mappings and even conversion between midi data types. But it's a stand-alone, not a midi (MFX?) plugin, or am I wrong?

The beauty of having a plugin do this would be that you could have a different mapping for each track and the specific VSTi on that track... that way when you select a different track in your host, the correct mapping is already there...

true indeed i'd love to have all the features set for me inmy host

there is a kind of quantisation plugin at among nicfits midi plugs...but i think, it's made for triggering sequences ...

do you want to trigger sequences in time or quantisation of Keyboard-input ?

quantization of keyboard input to trigger sequences

Post

Well you dont even need to use the walkthrough then to do that :)
Live mode will quantise input for triggering sequences, In fact thats it's job hahahahaha, What i came up with was way way more complicated and totally uneeded for that, Maybe i should have asked you for more info in the original thread hahahahahahahahah.

This sounds perfect. I'm thinking of buying the Novation Remote SL 37 as my main controller, as it seems to do everything I want in one unit.. and it features an Automap which works just like you are mentioning. It only currently works with Cubase, Nuendo, Logic and Reason.. but hopefully this can be built into eXT. If we could also have a built-in and/or VST Plugin VST-controller-mapping like you have explained, we could use generic controllers as well (but not in as nice a way ..as the Remote SL has LCD displays for each controller and displays parameters names/controller values).

no actualy im not just triggering sequences but im using the slicer to alter them as well(if i can) i'm new to xt and havent even had time to use my own computer so ive been using manuals and trying to get it to run on public computers that wont let me install anything using simple vst hosts and the vst of xt

MC23 has a velocity scaler.

Sounds a bit like what ControlFront was intended for ;)
