Description

Generates note lengths with every note-on message according to a customizable distribution. Note length can then be used as a powerful modulation source with Poly Pressure enabled synths or using standard remote mappings.

As always let me know if anything isn't working as expected :)

great device, trying the modulation mappings. should note length control the modulation with long, short, drive and velocity affecting changes to note length?
it seems modulation is only sending a note on message to modulation and not modulating according to length of the notes?

Hi Modlabs, yeah the mod output should always reflect note length and therefore be affected by those controls. I've just noticed that there's a v8 Javascript object being used that could be the issue if you're using Max 8 (bundled with Live 11). Which version of Live or Max are you using?
