Default MPE MIDI Channel Strip

I've uploaded a beta of this at:
https://stash.reaper.fm/v/34469/MPE%...l%20Strip.jsfx

If anyone has an MPE controller, please try it out and let me know what you think. Even if you don't have an MPE controller, there are a bunch of fun features here.

Oh, I made some presets for it, but haven't figured out how to upload them to the stash...

Here's Some info:

## Description
Designed to be placed upstream from a VSTi to control the flow of midi data in. Facilitates creating composite instruments with layers on multiple tracks, all controlled from a single controller.
Includes pitchbend and voice limiting, for converting between MPE and conventional midi.
## Notes
Features:
1.Midi enable/disable,Octave and Semitone transpose (transpose allows dynamic changes without stuck notes)
2.Option to convert Semitone control to send CC out, for drum sounds, effects, etc.
3.'Hands' feature moves LH up an octave, and RH down an octave for playing drums or 2-handed melodies
4.Limit midi range, high and low note.
5.High and low 'foldback' transposes by octaves to bring notes within range, ala Hammond organs.
6.Switch to ignore sustain pedal, for drum sounds, etc.
7.'Hold' feature, withholds note offs and ignores new notes until released, then sends all necessary note offs.
8.Conversion from conventional midi to MPE. Support for any combination of MPE/conventional controllers and VSTi's.
9.Pitch Bend conversion, so VSTs that cannot support the full MPE spec of +-48 semitones can be used alongside those that do.
10.PB conversion to allow musical (smaller) pitch bends from a traditional wheel, for VSTi's with PB maxed out for MPE.
11.Creation of new MIDI notes from MPE pitch bends, for better behaviour with VSTi's that don't use pitch bends, e.g. organs, pianos.
11.MPE voice reduction so VSTi's that cannot receive on the full 15 channels of MPE (e.g. Omnisphere) can be used with those that do.
12.Simple MIDI ch remapping for conventional VSTs used with a conventional controller.
13.AT->CC conversion, so MPE AT can be mapped to a CC, for VSTi's that don't respond to AT (e.g. many Kontakt orchestral libraries)
## Known Issues
Stuck notes with MPE PB-->Notes

Cool stuff!
Incidentally, I am right now working on a conceptually similar JS project, with the aim to reduce the visits to ROLI Dashboard and to make layers of VSTi with differing channel structure and pitch range possible. Mind, all I do is amassing spaghetti in code until it works, not remotely like your nicely structured piece of work... this will be very interesting for me to look at. Thanks for sharing

Thanks!

I'll give this a go when I get time with my roli.

Was hoping for something like this!

Yeah, I don't ever want to visit dashboard. Set it and forget it.

Let me know if there is a function you still need the dashboard for....

If any programming gurus can figure out what's wrong with my pb-> notes code, I'd appreciate it. I'm getting sporadic stuck notes, although the code seems to work in general.

@woodslanding
Hi,


Thx for sharing, having a all in one script for that is very cool.



Unfortuntaly I have a lot of stuck notes with it, with various settings.


I'll wait for the update :P



Cheers !

yeah, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me figure that out. I'm stumped.

You might want to test the JSFX I posted here -> https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....551&page=21#48 (to parts.) It's rather untested, as I don't have an MPE keyboard yet. Different from the other JSFX, it routes the reduced count of voices to separate Midi Buses (which allows as well routeing them to multiple tracks as to route them within the FX chain of a single track).

Please come back with any questions and let us know what you find.

@mschnell
Thx for the pointer, but I'm not sure this JSFX do what I was trying to do.


Could it MPE (offset note/cc channel in case of polyphony) a single channel MIDI input ?
with conversion of polyafter touch to another CC ?


@woodslanding
Maybe for debugging take your scripts into smaller parts, just to see what cause problem. :P

The (current version of the) script is for distribution of the messages in an MPE data stream to multiple (then monophonic) instruments. It is not for creating an MPE data stream from a standard polyphonic single-channel stream of Midi events from a non-MPE controller (if this is what you want). But I understand that this is not what this threat is about, anyway. See first message ->
