Transpose interrupts midi notes

Midihub Support

Hi,
using transpose on the fly and changing some notes up or down immediately interrupts sustained notes.
That way it works sequenced at my DT but would be nice if it starts at the next note on without interrupting sustained notes.
By the way its a great device…

Hi @chris666, yeah I reckon this is by design

If we look at the MIDI monitor what’s going on becomes clearer:

Screen Shot 2024-10-20 at 12.13.31

  • I’ve got CC11 mapped to Semitones

  • First I’m holding notes 11,12,13
    (Semitones is set to 0 so we see Outgoing = Incoming)

  • Then I transpose +3;
    the 1st time I change up “All notes off” is sent…
    …but the next two times the CC11 just changes the Semitones
    (so I guess Transpose knows when any notes are open notes and knows there’s now nothing left hanging)

  • Now I stop notes 11,12,13 and Transpose sends Note Off for 13,14,15

  • My next Notes On & Off are also raised 2 Semitones



Now Transpose is not a pipe that maxed out on properties so I guess you could make this a Feature Request

It might take the form of a new property (say Sustained Notes Action) which might have 3+ options

1. All Notes Off
2. Sustain until Note Off
3. Create transposed Note On

You might have other ideas, but I’d imagine any new behaviour would involve Transpose being given a note memory like Delay and Harmonizer.

Welcome to Midihub forums btw :smile:

Hi @resonotter , thats interesting!

Seems to be almost what I want if the “All notes off” isn`t sent… if I get it right.
For me it makes no sense at all to interrupt notes after transpose.
Yes, create transposed Note Ons would be my setting. :wink:

I think the Beatstep Pro works that way, do not own one but seems to behave that way as someone transposed long bass notes.

Yeah, thank you man. Think the midihub is really made for the Digitakt, mapped stuff like arp, note length, transpose, velocity, chance, cc, random per channel to all the unused midi stuff of the DT. And DT LFO is also very useful. :grinning:
Like to keep it simple.

Ah, to me it does cos we see the same when we change a Input/Output pipe’s Source/Destination:
my guess is @Giedrius’ & @Pranciskus’ main concern was never to have stuck notes.

When they get time, they may give a more expert view than mine – and comment on the viability of modifying Transpose.

In the meantime, why not draw up Feature Request?
Many of the cool features of Midihub 2024 come from users like yourself prompting others to throw in their creative ideas!

You may not have got into it yet but there’s loads of scope for getting DTs modulations to trigger LFOs and the like in Midihub itself (may break the “Like to keep it simple” rule tho!)

Thanks, just draw up a feature request. I think its an important feature for live improvisation.

I guess there are a lots of scopes, so far the “keep it simple & stupid rule” works. :grinning:
May be changes sometimes.
