MIDI Note to CC

[xackley]

This one converts notes to the channel/cc you wish.
It also has Center, Min, max for note in. Multiplier and Invert for Value Out. Auto generate with stepping between last and current CC value. And switch to shut off Original Message.

Once again, Midi Yoke makes this useful for controlling keybindings and reapers Learn on Plugins. VSTi below MIDI Note to CC can be controled with this JS output. I spent some time using it to adjust tremolo in Lounge Lizard, wet/dry on reverb, and track pan.

Kinda neat being able to jump to values instead of gliding. Or trying to fake high notes on right, low on left, by controlling the track pan.
Lotsa control over how the notes are converted to CC.

[plamuk]

thanks for your work.

[xackley]

Updated

Added Output Original Message options
When not used to create CC
Play all Notes
Block all Notes.

[Shramm]

excuse my forwardness, but could you make it vice-versa - plug-in for CC-to-note converson? I've already explained why I need it:
http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=22028

I can mention anyway that i need it for use sustain pedal as kick drum (i.e. to automatically convert CC64 controller message in note, that match kick drum sample, C1).

ps. pleeeease

i've been searching for a cc to note plugin for this exact same use.


please.....!!!

[prolapse]

would this work for controlling vst parameters like such:

qwerty keyboard input -> Virtual Midi Keyboard in reaper -> midi channel -> midi note to CC converter -> midi learn function -> vst parameter

??

im trying to control vst parameters with a usb qwerty keyboard in reaper, but so far have not succeeded =(

Somehow this does not show up in my effects list, after copying this file into the directory "C:\Program Files\REAPER\InstallData\Effects\MIDI". Any ideas?

Hi,
Yes I got an idea..in Reaper go to Options/Show Reaper resource path in Explorer..put the file in that directory. Hope this helps.

[TonE]

Yeah, I found it out already, sorry for not reporting back here.

[k__x]

hi
how can i use one usb keyboard NOTE? I dont have the sustain pedal and i want to use the MIDI key NOTE 60 to make the MIDI CC 64 pedal / sustain option...?

thanks!

Should this be saved as a .txt, or something else? I can't get it to show up in my Reaper plugs

[Time Waster]

Either, simply remove the .txt extension, or you can change the extension to .jsfx

The file should be placed the reaper\effects\ folder.

Not exactly.

It should be provided via ReaPack and hence be

...\appdata\Roaming\REAPER\Effects\ReaTeam JSFX\Utility\xackley_MIDI_Note_to_CC.jsfx

I already did read multiple request for such a utility and hence it should be publicly available and findable (i.e. get a decent ReaPack compatible (MarkDown) description.)

[Mr. PC]

I've put it in that folder, and renamed it as .jsfx and with no extension. I click "rescan" for VSTs, but it's not showing up.

[Time Waster]

Hmmm... it worked OK for me. It should show up under JS as "JS: MIDI Note to CC".

Since the original author obviously isn't active on the forum anymore (last post 10-27-2013), why don't you try to PM him, ask for permission and submit a pull request to ReaTeam for it to be added ?

(I've done this also in the past for old JSFX I found worth to be part of ReaPack.)

[Mr. PC]

Ok, somehow it was just there when I opened Reaper today; maybe I just needed to restart.

Now I can't get it to actually work. Here's my setup. It seems the "CC to Note" doesn't hear any midi?

[Time Waster]

It looks like you are trying to modulate the filter cutoff to follow the keyboard? I note that the midi to cc is set to output on 30, but the input to the filter seems to be set to 31?

You can use ReaControlMidi as a diagnostic tool to log midi messages at various points in the cc chain.

The MIDI to CC fx seems fairly complex. The ReaRack Key Follower module might be a bit more intuitive, although not as flexible.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Actually, I was just using CC31 as a test (I had some CC31 written into the midi, and I wanted to see whether it would actually work with the written CC, and it did. Setting the input filter to CC30 still doesn't work.

For some reason, right now when I tried putting ReaControlMidi on it started working (regardless of whether ReaControlMidi was enabled). Now it's not working again.

What's the ReaRack Key Follower module? Google only brought me this.

[Time Waster]

ReaRack is a jsfx modular synth (see my signature below). One of the modules is a key follower. It outputs a cc value based on note number. Each ReaRack module is a separate fx, so you can use any module independently.

Ok, thanks.

I've got it working using your ReaRack. It's good, though getting the EQ to follow the note fundamental perfectly is tricky; I guess the EQ works logarithmically?

[Time Waster]

The key follower module could certainly benefit from a non linear output option. I'll add it to my list for a future update.

[Mr. PC]

I think the more ideal option would be for the EQ to interpret the CC input as pitch, rather than linear frequency.

127 steps isn't really enough to follow the steps perfectly (or maybe it is if the range is limited enough?)


I was able to use it on a band-pass on white noise, and play 'Ode to Joy' out of tune.

The function "key number -> frequency" is strictly exponential. I suppose the function "parameter value -> frequency" in an EQ will depend on the EQ design.

Pro-Q has little keys underneath the EQ, and actually, you can input a frequency as a note-value (G#5) and it's create a note there, so the EQ can understand which note is which, but the

Oh... after some googling I (re)discovered this, which seems to output Frequency.

Great find for me; I'm putting it on at least 50% of my tracks from now on.

Anyhow, I've now got your modular synth, which will provide plenty of fun as well! Time to make music!
