Transform is now bigger and better…
Earlier versions of Transform were much more limited:
At first, Transform didn’t have the power of Ranges or Work with Channel .
This meant
-
“early” Transform would work on (say) every Note On at every Velocity regardless of Channel
-
which meant that often the only option was to use separate pipelines with filters to do the kinds of selection we saw in the Ranges section
Ranges were introduced in 2022 and made a
huge difference
(2020 preset with Note On → CC Insert Before Transforms)Even if the incoming Note#'s or the outgoing CC#'s had no pattern, 2022 Transform could do all this in one line
Happily in this case, the Notes → CCs followed the pattern [60…69] → [40…49], so…
…the 10 Transforms could all be replaced by just one Transform followed by a CC Remap
This is something to be alert to when using older presets from this forum or patchstorage; the approach might have been the best possible then – now the same result might be achieved more simply and directly.
We’ll go into this in more detail in the forthcoming “Using Transform” Topic
