Brainstorming: Integer (x) to float (at least x.xx) on Note Adjustment

[Lykdraft]

I think it might make sense to get rid of the integer values in the Note adjustment parameter. So that for example the midi-pitchbend-wheel can be assigned to Note adjustment or even more important a Midi-LFO or any other midi-glide generators.

Alternatively maybe a (assignable?) larger finetune range, so that the finetune can assist in smooth LFO wobble, modulation and pitchbend stuff, which is all over the place in actual music. (You could even think about ditching finetune alltogether and make the finetune parameter a pitchbend parameter with assignable bend-size (i.e. up to 12/24 or maybe even 48)

Stuff like Wobbles, Glides over multiple notes and smooth build-ups/break-downs and pitches that get stronger in amplitude over a specific amount of time really can't be done with the graphical pitch-slide in the track editor because this stuff is either a) over multiple notes or b) in rytrhytmical intra-note fashion (like triplet LFOs that cycle multiple times inbetween the duration of the note..)

So I am looking for a way to do this natively in Radium. (Right now I use a midi-envelope generator and a midi lfo. However because of the "stepping" when assigned to note adjustment it just sounds very bad and the finetune parameter is not wide enough., that's why I came up with the idea.

Another option might be allowing the transpose parameter of the voices itself to be automated/cc learned. It is in 0.25 steps, but maybe that's already smooth enough... (For sure better than integers... ;) )

Maybe you have another idea how to realize this.

Thanks, tL.

Ah, another more far-fetched idea would be the ability to sync vibrato to various beat values instead of only hz and maybe give some options besides sinewave (like the usual ones, square, saw up/saw down/triangle and noise) That would essentialy make the vibrato parameter a pitch lfo insted.

(Could be done for tremolo as well, would enable pretty decent rythmic gating effects natively... ;) )

I think "note adjustment" and "finetune" parameters could be useful as they are. Think I'll just add a new pitch bend slider.

[kmatheussen]

Oh right, read too quickly there, of course the "Transpose" parameter could be automated. And "Transpose" is not limited to 0.25 steps, that's just the mouse scroll interval.

[kmatheussen]

How about a new automation parameter called "System Pitchbend +/- 48" that goes between -48 and +48, which modifies all "Transpose" values behind the scene? Then the pitchbend would be applied to all instruments that are event connected, not just the current one.

I think this solution should solve all problems, and it's pretty simple to implement as well. (In addition, there could be "System Pitchbend +/-12", "System Pitchbend +/- 60", etc.).

I imagine this parameter must be reset to 0 when there is no automation.

[Lykdraft]

Yes that would be even better. Would allow for a lot of very fun stuff...

[kmatheussen]

Hmm. We don't really need the note adjustment parameter to be limited to integer numbers anymore. We can just use the note duplicator to transpose accurately. I'll change "note adjustment" to floating point for the next release.

[Lykdraft]

Done now. Enables stuff like LFO Tool and Midishaper for example tp be Midi-Bound to Note adjustment and enhances the sampler basically by a pitch envelope/pitch LFO. Very useful in everyday work. Thanks.
