Xen

This is a VSTi plugin which transforms polyphonic input MIDI to xenharmonic MPE MIDI of alternative xen scales. If you route the output into a synthesizer that can handle MPE and match the MPE pitchbend range you can play in alternative xen scales with up to 15 voices.

--- Parameters ---

Xen: The xen scale describes how many pitch classes per octave exist. The most common xen scale is 12tet / 12edo.

Base Pitch: The base- or reference pitch is the same in all xen scales that you choose.

Master Tune: You can retune the notes by a few hz with this parameter.

Pitchbend Range: This parameter has to be aligned with the MPE pitchbend range of the target synth.

Auto MPE: If this is enabled you don't need to input notes with manually separated MIDI channels.

Playmode:

The "Rescale" mode just rescales every one of the 128 MIDI values to a distinct pitch in the xen scale.

The "Nearest" mode retunes the incoming notes to the nearest pitch of the played key's 12tet interpretation.

Use Synth: If enabled the plugin outputs audio, so that you can test if everything works correctly.
