Description

RANDOM NOTE IS A SMALL AND DIDACTIC DEVICE THAT I MADE TO SHOW CLEARLY AND BASICALLY THE FUNCTION OF A MIDI DATA PROCESSOR AND THE NATURE OF THE CONTROLLED RANDOMNESS.

IT WAITS FOR A MIDI NOTE OR GROUP OF NOTES (FROM YOUR MIDI TRACK OR IN REAL TIME FROM EXTERNAL KEYBOARD, FROM THE MOUSE CLICKING THE UPPER KEYBOARD, FROM COMPUTER KEYBOARD IF ENBALE INSIDE LIVE… AND TRANSFORMS IT TO ANOTHER, IN A RANDOM MODE. YOU CAN ALSO PLAY VERTICAL CHORDS TO GET SIMOULTANEOUS RANDOM NOTES.

if you play with the mouse on the keyboard, the higher of the note you play, the higher the midi velocity. Almost always it controls the volume of the played sound.

YOU ALSO HAVE A RANDOM SEQUENCER TO TRY RANDOMNESS, WITH TIME INTERVAL ADJUSTABLE.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO ADJUST THE RANDOMNESS RANGE WITH:

LOWEST: LOWEST NOTE OF THE RANGE

EXTENSION: MAXIMUM POSSIBLE EXTENSION OF THE RANDOMNESS RANGE , IN MIDI NOTES QUANTITY.

SO IF YOU WANT TO CREATE A RANDOM BASSLINE WITHIN AN OCTAVE, PUT FOR EXAMPLE C1 AS LOWEST AND 12 AS RANDOM RANGE.

ANOTHER ONE: YOU WANT A CHROMATIC (SEMITONE) MELODY WITH C3 AS A CENTER: PUT LOWEST C3 AND 2 AS EXTENSION.
