Description

A clone of Live's Scale MIDI effect, modified to allow different scales to be used when ascending and descending.

The most common real-world example of this is the melodic minor scale, which is the same as natural minor when descending but uses a raised 6th and 7th scale degree when ascending. In this device the choice of scales is arbitrary for each direction.

Known issues:

- chords don't have a notion of "direction," so you will get unpredictable results. This isn't a bug; it's just the nature of this musical situation.

Credits:

- the Max PitchScaler device from the M4L Building Tools Pack provided most of the transposition logic.

- Chris Muir's NoOverlap abstraction solved the issue of multiple identical notes cutting each other off.

- the solution for hung notes when changing transpositions is a modified version of a patch provided by Bill Canty

Changelog:

0.6

- added info texts

- parameters are now automatable

- input display now ignores note-offs. Result: doesn't jump around so much, and is more useful.

0.61

- tiny optimizations

1.0

- hung notes should now be prevented

- output also ignores note-offs

1.01

- fixed a bug in which hung notes could occur when using multiple instances of the device
