Transpose midi input question

[Darryl]

This is a great explanation of what you are expecting! We talked about this a bit today, trying to imagine how we can map a keyboard to "octave position". One idea is to make a modulation source of "notes". However, we'll have to look at how this would scale across all of the various destinations. It might be the case where when "notes" is the source, it would use notes coming in on the control channel, and the control channel would no longer change chords (or maybe make it an option). This way, you can assign the "notes" source to any part or parameter.

As mentioned, the motifs are playing notes from the note pool, so notes pressed on the keyboard would not mean anything to The NDLR. We would essentially have to use the keyboard notes as an external position control. Since we can't know the number of keys on your keyboard, we would have to optimize for maybe middle C, and work outwards.

You could simulate what this would sound like by creating a modulation with a source of "pattern", and destination of motif position. This would cause the position to change to specific octave locations. I haven't tried this yet, but I think it would demonstrate the effect. You could also try it with pitch bend as a source.

Also, good advice on the manual. We'll see about clearing it up for the next revision.
