HI all

This is for jorge, malc

1.- If i should send MIDI events to a SM synth ( one with a MIDIToPoly module) How i should send the note oof messages:

.- By sending a correct NOTE OFF (128) .- By sending a Note On with velocity set to zero?

2.- Does MIDIToPOLYrespons correctly to "AllSound off" and ALLNotes Off" controllers?

Both should work in SM, if not it would be a bug. I'm not sure which one is the prefered in general. I normally use the NoteOff event.

Probably not, thanks for pointing it out. Should be easy to implement it.

is there anyway to convert poly to midi?

probably, PolyToGraph -> GraphToFloat -> float data to int data -> MidiEvent. I havent tried it, you'd probably have to use WTimer and TimerDivide to set the rate at which you want your Midi events and you'd also have to generate NoteOff events. You'd also have to convert your data to a useful Midi range. Like if your poly goes 0 to 1 you should multiply it by 128 to get full midi note range.

One thing I have tried and worked quite well is to extract the frequency from the Poly data and use it to set the frequency of a sine oscillator. You can then whistle to the microphone and hear a sine wave at the same frequency.

Cool, it would be great to see some examples like that some time, i will have a try and see if i can do anything decent sounding. Thanks

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
