Pitch-to-MIDI On/Off

Controls: Sgram/PT Dialog >> Pitch-to-MIDI >> On/Off
Changes : X0=0
Macro : PitchMIDI

This the overall On/Off button for the Pitch-to-MIDI process. When it is on, notes detected by the Pitch Track process are translated into MIDI events. There will be a separate event for each MIDI Voice that is active, but they will all start at the same time unless you specifically set a Note Delay value.

The Pitch Track button doesn't need to be active to use Pitch-to-MIDI. As long as the Spectrogram (Sgram/PT) display is active, the Pitch Track function will be carried out in the background. The display will show the spectrogram of the full input signal, while Pitch-to-MIDI responds only to the tracked pitch.

If you activate Pitch-to-MIDI without any signal present ( Input and Generator both off), an internal random source will be used as the pitch source. This is the default DaqMusic mode.

Changes Script:

Use X0=0 (or X0=x) to toggle Pitch-to-MIDI off. This allows a Changes script to turn itself off at the end of a performance. Note that X0=1 or anything else is ignored. (If Pitch-to-MIDI is off, the Changes script is not running and thus can't turn itself on.)

Macro Notes:

PitchMIDI=1 turns Pitch-to-MIDI on, PitchMIDI=0 turns it off, and PitchMIDI=x toggles the current state.

Note that both Pitch Track and Spectrogram must be active for MIDI events to be produced.
