I was wondering what is the best way to route a velocity of a MIDI note with the correct MIDI note? I set up some triggers, but I don't think I set it up too correctly...everytime I push a different note, the velocity jumps around.

I've attached the patch I'm working on...the main objects that I'm worried about are "pd guitarhar" and "pd ambient"

Any help is appreciated!

anyone?

I don't understand what your patch is doing, partly because I don't have the [sampleplay~] or [sample_player~] objects.

What do you need to register first, the note number or the velocity?

I'm not sure I get this either, but I think you don't fully understand how [route] works, because you're using it like [select]. After the [stripnote], use [pack] to make a list of note and velocity pairs. Then send that list through [route] with the note numbers as arguments, and it will send out the velocity value corresponding to note arguments.

[stripnote]
| /
[pack f f]
|
[route 41 42 43 44 45]

You can then just use [t b f] (or whatever combination of b's and f's you need) to send the velocity and bangs together to the right [sampleplay~].

Hopefully that helps. I'm also not sure what's going on with the [pipe]s.

Awesome, thanks Maelstorm! That did the trick!

The sampleplay~ object is just a simple sample player I made (with help from others). Basically the left inlet is to trigger it to play and the right inlet is for volume. sample_player~ is also for playing sounds, but I used a phasor~ to keep it looping as well as pitch correction control.

Again, thanks! This board has always been so helpful

Alright, one more question...

Whenever controlling two things at one time, the values get jumpy (especially with sliders). Any ideas?

• Grant

it looks like whenever I move one slider, then move another slider, the second slider will jump to where the first slider was on it's first value input.

For instance, if I move slider A to 127, and slider B is currently at 0, instead of going to 1, it jumps to 127 (where slider A is/was)

by the way, here is the patch that I'm currently working on that has these issues. It's a simple Nanokontrol router

Your problem is probably that [ctlin] outputs its values from right to left (like [t ] objects). Therefore the control number is sent before the value, and it is sent to the hot (leftmost) inlet of [pack f f] which immediately packs it with the last stored value and sends it along.

The attached example demonstrates how to properly route the output of [ctlin] so that this doesn't happen.

Thanks! That did the trick!
