Re: low cpu midi appegiator



Well that approach is exactly what i was going to attempt within Bidule, but using one of the built in arps, but somehow cancelling the note off filter with a note on... dunno, its difficult to know how to do it in bidule without learning the whole program...

Like.. (@bidule users.. ) how do you er.. "expose" to the front panel, only the controls you need to show on the outside of the group?
The control side of Bidule is the side I really don't like, the programming style using modules, is the same in mulch Synthedit, and Bidule. No problem there (just have to experiment and read up on the functionality)

Only in Bidule does there NOT seem to be any elegant way of hiding the mess of wires and showing just the controls you needs as marked knobs, sliders and readouts. In Mulch there are very nice looking but generic controls, and in SynthEdit you can use the default, imports new, or completely design your own controls.

How about setting up a filter that strips off the Note Off events?
Bidule has a good MIDI filter module for that. If using another host
than Bidule it would be required to throw in a Bidule AU plugin (with
that MIDI filtering) somewhere in the MIDI signal path pre virtual
instrument.

OR...
You could open a Bidule AU anywhere (not necessarily on the MIDI track
of your sounding virtual instrument). INside that Bidule you (1) open
a "MIDI Input Device" and cable it through the MIDI Filter (stripping
off Note Offs) and then you finally create and cable to a "MIDI Output
Device" (or whatever it's called...). Make sure to create a "virtual
MIDI cable" either on the Mac system (IAC Bus channel) or as a format
of your DAW/host. Then set this (now MIDI Off stripped) internal MIDI
pipe as the MIDI Input for your sounding virtual instrument.

This would work as a "infinite hold", so you need to set up a "Send
MIDI Note Off" pedal/button to silence the bitch. Bidule would be fine
for that, but simply doing a temporary ByPass off the MIDI filtering
Bidule AU plugin and playing any note (that will then also send a Note
Off as you release the key) will work as your bitch smacker.

Just some loose ideas that may keep you from making music for another
couple of days... ;-)
