I'm a piano player and love this! The chord track of cubase has it's strengths in other areas: audio to midi by drag and drop, composition helper tool, and direct integration for vari audio. For Live performance, Bitwig is far superior. If you'll make a video about how to extend the playable noterange to the whole scale rather than just the initial chordnotes via the grid technique, it will be greatly appreciated.
This topic is fascinating, I have been a guitarist from the beginning and never learned to play the keyboard. I've also heard from other musicians who say - I can't play, like Aphex Twin, Deadmau5 and Alessandro Cortini, who have repeatedly said - I can't play the keyboard and never will, but Cortini creates amazing music. I got Maschine MK3 for this purpose and it has changed everything for me, also have to mention Scaler 2 which is a great tool and gives a good overview and understanding. It would be interesting to see how you integrate your Behringer Poly D, if you control/play the Poly D from your computer (I've a purchase order on Poly D)? Cheers.
i love playing piano and synths and Electric piano a tool is a tool im not likely to need or use this but i think it helps people to learn chords better and structure. its a sneaky way to learn so thats good
Ha, this is BETTER than a chord track. You can insert your own keys, grace notes, out of scale notes, etc. and the entire song will react...plus multiple chord tracks.
is there anyway to make so the pitch quantize dont change the note while holding down the key on the keyboard, now if a note goes away from a chord it changes automatic on the played key to one in the new chord. Want it to check the pitch quantize only on new notes, not sustained notes. If you understand what i mean
I can play piano and I'm not bothered by this at all. I'm always interested in different ways of creating a melodic/harmonic line and have been known to use the odd sequencer or arp. (Nora's my favourite), since you always create something different to the patterns and rudiments that lie under you fingers. I've even used algorithmically produce sequences to derive patterns and licks. Often it's stuff that I would not come up with naturally, since it's not dictated by the shape of the hand. Long story short, it's all good bro and I'll probably adapt this patch to some of my own ideas, as I have done with many others you've created.
@@Emily_M81 I get that it's click bait. All the same, though it's less prevalent now that in times prior to this, there is still some level of percieved friction between electronic musicians and those who who make music utilising more traditional tools, at least in certain quarters. Though this schism is a lot less apparent than in the past. I myself choose a more mixed approach in terms of modes of production/creation, but I've met a few, mainly older musos. who think that electronic music is a lesser art form and somewhat akin to cheating. So, somewhat overstated clickbaity titles like this still have some degree of resonance in terms of sets of beliefs and attitudes, beyond being a mere marketing device.

Cool video, thanks. Can you think of a way to use 2 lots of parameters to quantise a note and for one of them to be a NOT? For example, I want to quantise to the notes of A-minor triad, but also receive a monophonic note input from another channel and the quantize output must NOT match this note input. I want to create a tintinnabuli harmony quantiser which plays a complimentary sequence related to , but not the same note, as a main melody from another track
@@PolarityMusic that would be awesome. I tried a few ways to do this, but so far I can't work out the NOT, so I am transposing the original pitch by 3 semitones up or down before the quantize in order to ensure it doesn't lock to the same note as the melody. It sort of works, but then you don't get the close matches with their lovely tension
Great video. Do you or anyone know if this chord following quantisation can be done exactly like bitwig in any other DAW? If not, I guess I need Bitwig!
I'm a. piano player and I don't hate you! PS often playing piano with fewer notes, with expressivity, is the hardest thing to do, the very fast runs sound impressive, but generally lack emotion, and are just as often better played with a piano roll, an arpeggiator, or Bigwig with your help....
