Members Yoozer Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 Here's a plugin I would like to see. A VST version would have a similar interface (minus the cute mini buttons in the bottom of the screen). I've tried Synthmaker to see if I could abuse that for prototyping, I know I can handle the prototyping in Reaktor if I wanted it, but I'd really make something real that'd work on all systems. Concept: chord memory plugin. Can be viewed as 8 or 16-button version. You load a progression - a set of 8 or 16 chords. Chords are defined either by a list of presets ( see http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/piano/ for reference) or via learning mode, where you simply play keys like C-E-G in any order and it is matched with a chord in the list (or it says "Custom" if it can't find anything suitable). Pads are in MPC style - clicking means selecting them, too. Chords can be played in strum mode where the Strum Time (should be Length now that I think of it) is the total length of a strum. Zero means all notes simultaneously. Maybe make that syncable, too. There's an option to switch between linear and exponential (exponential can give an ease-in/ease-out effect, and the length can be linked to velocity which means higher velocity = less strum time. This would be pretty neat for guitar sample libraries that lack the scripting power of Kontakt, or complex jazz progressions played in sampling style - repeating bits yourself with a Rhodes sample set or modeler.

Members pogo97 Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 If I understand you right, this shares some features with Logic's "Chord Memorizer." Chord Memorizer Object A chord memorizer maps individual notes to chords. You can assign one chord to each pitch class (to C, C#, D, and so on). The octave of the incoming note determines the octave of the resulting chord. A chord can have zero to twelve notes in it. (Zero and one note chords can be useful for creating scale-filters and scale-correctors). The easiest way to use a chord memorizer is to connect its output to the instrument that you want to play the chords through, and assign it to an Arrange track. You can, of course, place it anywhere else in the MIDI signal path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yoozer Posted June 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah, looks like it does. Oh well, more reason to build it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm wondering how this would work as a VSTi. You'd need to insert it before the sound-making device. Is this something that would be easy to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
