Description

2- completely rewritten in JS,

added a selectable mode for note distribution

 Fit- notes are stretched or compressed to fill the selected space/clip

Pic- notes are placed based on the image with a threshold value

added ability to stretch the image

added ability to make notes legato

1.2 Bug fix. PicTool no longer outputs notes until a parameter has been changed. Previously it would add notes to a clip unexpectedly when selecting a clip after opening a project.

1.1- tweaked some things to make the scale update faster

Just for fun Pic Tool is a Midi Generator for Live 12 that takes an image of my dogs butt, or other image I suppose, and uses the image to generate a midi clip. You can choose an RGB channel to use for the Pitch, Velocity and Chance as well as a range to set the values to. You can also rotate through all available values generated by the image. It will stay in sync with the selected scale in Live. It mostly filters out repetitions but for the best results try to use an image with a variety of color.
