Hello Robby, good afternoon. first of all thank you for your answer. i progress a lot with midi rotation in max. i was just wandering one thing. : the intervals are always parallel? i mean if you play C2, you ll have the fifth above (7half steps) but if you play B2 will you have F or Fsharp? does it follow whatever scale you program or is it straight parallels? same question with rotating notes..... Parallel movements always or musical intervals respected? thank again for the information.
The rotator is made of the root you play, one parallel voice, and four voices which rotate to make up the third voice in the harmony. So for every single note you play in, you hear three notes played out. The root, the parallel voice, and one of the four rotating voices. By tuning each of the four rotating voices differently, you get a new voicing every time you retrigger the same note.
Thanks again. I read all the information of your wen pages one month ago and really liked the small audio things. That is the main reason why i m trying to get something similar with max msp. I did many tries. Rotating thing work perfectly. I can assign different out midi channels and even create some kind of multiplexer that allow me to have more than 2 notes polyphony. Actually i m trying to get harmonized scale. If i play c, then d, then e, Instead of getting cmaj, dmaj, emaj, i m looking for cmaj, dmin, emin etc...depending on the initially preprogrammed scale or arpegio. And using keyswitches to change that initial scale and of course, consequent rotating notes.
HELLO ROBBY, I JUST BUILD A MIDI ROTATOR IN MAX. I WILL INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY TO OUTPUT EACH VOICE IN A DIFFERENTMIDI CHANNEL . I REALLY LIKE THE MINI AUDIOS OF YOURS USING YOUR SYSTEM. REALLY INTERESTING. I NOTICED THAT YOU PLAY SEVERAL NOTES AT SAME TIME INSTEAD SAY BRECKER MONOPHONIC EWI. YOU PROGRAMMED YOUR SOFTWARE SO THAT EACH NOTE IS DIRECTED TO A DIFFERENT ROTATOR'? OR IS YOUR ROTATOR USES MORE THAN 4 ROTATING VOICES FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY'? I WILL TRY TO PROGRAM A RANDOM ROTATOR , INSTEAD FROM 1 TO 6 FOR EXAMPLE, IT WOULD RANDOMLY CHOOSE FROM 1 TO 6,,,,WHAT DO YOU THINK?
JAVIER PROD.MUSICAL the original version was in MAX. It spilled over into a second rotator if you played more than one note. My later Arduino and Plug-in versions treat each new note as a separate rotator. So polyphonic chords can have rotators students different rotations depending on what you’ve played before. So glad you’re inspired to play with the idea yourself. Have fun!!
