MIDI Converter

Name

MIDI Converter:


midi	converter

Description:

The MIDI Converter Agent is used to convert EigenD data into MIDI information within EigenD.

Ports

Pressure input

Name:


pressure	input

Input
Type: Generic

The Pressure Input receives key pressure information from upstream agents.

Frequency Input

Name:


frequency	input

Input
Type: Generic

The Frequency Input receives note frequency information from upstream agents (often the Scaler).

MIDI Channel

Name:


midi	channel

Input, Set
Type: Integer
Range: 0 to 16

MIDI Channel determines the MIDI channel used for input to the MIDI converter agent - values of 1 to 16 refer to the corresponding MIDI channel, a value of 0 indicates poly mode (or MIDI channel cycling - see Maximum Channel and Minimum Channel below).

Velocity Sample

Name:


velocity	sample

Input, Set
Type: Integer
Range: 0 to 1000; default = 4

Velocity Sample determines the number of samples used to calculate the velocity of a note.

Velocity Curve

Name:


velocity	curve

Input, Set
Type: Number
Range: 0.1 to 10; default = 4

Velocity Curve determines the curve applied to the input velocity values to calculate an output velocity: 1 is linear, values below 1 produce a concave curve (attenuating the velocity) and values above 1 produce a convex curve (boosting the velocity). The default value is 4.

Velocity Scale

Name:


velocity	scale

Input, Set
Type: Number
Range: 0.1 to 10; default = 4

Velocity Scale multiplies the raw values for velocity detection with a constant multiplier. The default multiplier is 4.

Minimum Channel

Name:


minimum	channel

Input, Set
Type: Integer
Range: 0 to 16; default = 1

In poly mode (or when the MIDI channel is set to 0) the MIDI converter agent cycles through MIDI channels - Minimum Channel determines the lowest MIDI channel to use.

Maximum Channel

Name:


maximum	channel

Input, Set
Type: Integer
Range: 0 to 16; default = 16

In poly mode (or when the MIDI channel is set to 0) the MIDI converter agent cycles through MIDI channels - Maximum Channel determines the highest MIDI channel to use.

Midi Bank

Name:


midi	bank

Input, Set
Type: Integer
Range: 0 to 127; default = 0

Send a MIDI bank change message from the MIDI convertor.

Midi Program

Name:


midi	program

Input, Set
Type: Integer
Range: 0 to 127; default = 0

Send a MIDI program change message from the MIDI convertor.

Parameters 1 - 16

Name:

parameter

Input
Type: Generic

MIDI Converters in the EigenD software have a set of generic parameter inputs, Parameter 1 through Parameter 16. Usually these are receiving information from the various Eigenharp controllers e.g. strip controller, breath controller, key movement. Using the Routing Matrix these can then be routed to MIDI messages generators. To access the Routing Matrix click on 'Configure' in the top left corner of the plugin's window.

MIDI Output

Name:


midi	output

Output
Type: Generic

The MIDI output is normally used to send MIDI streams to downstream Agents (normally the MIDI Output Agent in this case.)

Nouns

None

Verbs

None

Examples

Before using the Belcanto commands below, make sure you have the desired MIDI Converter in the conversation using


midi	converter	X	listen

where X is the number of the desired MIDI converter.

Setting the MIDI channel

To set the MIDI channel of the MIDI converter, use


midi	channel	to	X	set

where X is the number of the desired MIDI channel; 0 sends MIDI on each channel using cycling behaviour.

Setting the MIDI bank

To set the MIDI bank of the MIDI converter, use


midi	bank	to	X	set

where X is the number of the desired bank.

Setting the MIDI program

To set the MIDI program of the MIDI converter, use


midi	program	to	X	set

where X is the number of the desired program.
