NDLR KB Trans Question

[Jesse Johannesen]

If can help you help me and help everyone, then that's fantastic! Thanks Jesse   I

I went through the key of C. Let me know if you need any more information gathering!


First note is the note I want to work, second note is the one I played on my KeyStep to sound that actual note.

So for example, "D# is E" means that I played "E" on my KeyStep to get "D#" rather than just being able to press "D#".



Major - No issues

Dorian - D# is E, A# is B

Phrygian - C# is D, D# is E, G# is A, A# is B

Lydian - No issues

Mixolydian - A# is B

Minor/Aeolian - D# is E, G# is A, A# is B

Locrian - C# is D, D# is E, F# is G, G# is A, A# is B

Gypsy Minor - D# is E, G# is A

Harmonic Minor - D# is E, G# is A

Minor Pentatonic - F is E, G is F, A# is G

WholeTone- No issues

Tonic2nds - No issues

Tonic3rds - F# is E

Tonic4ths - E is D

Tonic6ths - No issues


Let me know if that makes sense! Thanks again!

Hey, I had the transpose channel and the NDLR Ctrl channel functions mixed up in my head. The transpose channel will always be "White Keys Only" as you have noticed above. I was confused because the NDLR Ctrl Channel has a setting called "Set Key" which lets you select the Chord degree using the correct notes for the given Scale and Mode which sounds like what you were hoping to do with the transpose channel. Even though the NDLR doesn't support this, it is still possible to play along with whatever notes you like using a Non-transpose/NDLR Ctrl MIDI channel, because the NDLR passes all note data along downstream (according to the Port Thru Mapping chart on pg. 33 of the manual). While this will not correct any off notes it at least will allow you the chance to practice along with the correct fingering. I will put in a feature request to see if it might make sense to have the Transpose channel follow the NDLR Ctrl channel in this regard, so if you were to choose that setup for the Ctrl channel, the Transpose would do that as well. Seems like that would make sense.
Thanks again for pointing this out,
Jesse
