Hello everyone, wish you all a wonderful day.


I just got one simple thing, but don't know how to do it. I want to randomize a little bit the position of midi notes I made with the riffer of Ample guitar.


The problem is that ample riffer creates quite complex midi parts with lots of keyswitches going on, so I just can't do normal randomization as I would usually do with normal midi parts.


Does anyone know how to do it?


Thanks in advance.

 

Use a midi filter to filter out the keyswitches in the lower octaves or wherever they're located. https://x42-plugins.com/x42/x42-midifilter has a "MIDI Key-Range Filter", or just google "MIDI FILTER VST" and look for freeware.

 

There is a randomization function in the MIDI Modifiers section of the Inspector on MIDI/Instrument tracks. This will apply either on playback or at input. If you want the modifiers to apply to notes you input, you have to turn on MIDI Thru in Preferences under MIDI. If you want to apply the modifiers to MIDI notes that are already there, you have to go to MIDI > Freeze MIDI Modifiers. Be aware, this will also apply other things like any Transpose values and Track Delay.

Edit: There is also a Logical Editor preset to randomize position by +/-10 ticks in the MIDI menu, you can apply this to a selection.

you just need a Logical editor preset with randomization of positions but with range limits
if you dont know how to do it I can make it for you

please post a screenshot of the midi part (from the piano roll)so I can see the range of the notes to randomize and and the range of the keyswitch notes to leave untouched

 

You can manually set the range with the range tool, then MIDI > Logical Editor > Apply Preset without having to predefine it in the script.

 

obviously you can
but if you can save a preset for a specific instrument range why not do it?

If you have a complex/long midi file you have to zoom out then precisely select, and sometimes the keyswitch notes are so closed to the lowest active notes that you can easily miss something. With the LE preset you can do the job even without entering the piano roll, just selecting the midi part from the project window

if you can do the job with a 1 button click wouldnt be better?
