Default FIXING SOLID PIANO CHORDS!

FIXING Solid piano Chords!

Solid piano Chords sound FAKE, all the notes play EXACTLY the same time... with the same velocity..

HUMANIZE--as presently constituted--doesn't fix the problem.

THREE THINGS are necessary ....

1. Humanizer should leave the VELOCITY AND POSITION of the TOP note of any and every chord UNAFFECTED;

2. Humanizer should randomize (humanize) ONLY THE NOTES IN THE CHORD BELOW THE TOP NOTE

3. Those "LOWER" notes should be randomized (humanized) a) so that their POSITION IS NEVER BEFORE (TO THE LEFT OF) THE TOP NOTE and b) so that THEY ARE MUCH QUIETER (MUCH LOWER RANDOM VEL) than the top note


Call it: Piano Chord Humanizer...

the function would work on note vel. and position only, and with the following critical rules or restrictions:

1) would locate and affect solid piano chords ONLY, leaving all other SINGLE notes in a piano track UNCHANGED in velocity and position.

2) would identify the HIGHEST NOTE of any solid chords, and leave THAT "TOP" note of the solid chord unchanged IN VELOCITY AND POSITION.

3) would HUMANIZE (RANDOMIZE) ONLY the notes BELOW the top note of the chord such that.....
a)the "lower" notes of the chord are randomized in POSITION tiny amounts AFTER the top note (what piano players naturally do when playing more than one note and the same time)
b)the "lower" notes of the chord are randomized so that they are always SOFTER or QUIETER (by user defined variable %?) than the TOP note (what naturally happens at the piano)

Result: a totally NATURAL sounding piano track!

Can that be programmed?

Or is it too complicated?
