Midifighter As a SYNTH!
Midifighter As a SYNTH! Posted on: 23.10.2011 by Glennis Bischoff so i like the idea of playing the midifighter as a synth. as you all know it spits out basic midi, and im using it to play notes in different synthesizers in Ableton live.but my problem is that i cant change octaves without touching a keyboard... ick... i have an APC40 and the korg Nano series, if that helps a problem solution. TL:DR, i need a way to switch octaves in a synthesizer and play my midifighter as the notes in the Synth | |

| Glennis Bischoff 06.11.2011 | but if i use 4 banks mode, then i loose out on one row of notes :/ but the idea to use a midi transpose effect is pretty good, i kike that one |

| Nana Mohs 27.10.2011 | If you put 4 Pitch midi effects on the midi track you should be able to do something like that. Make them have -24, -12,+12, +24 semitones (or whatever you want) And set 4 buttons to turn them on/off. 8 buttons for a scale, and 4 for a couple different arps, a random, and a chord. That way you have 5 octaves to play in and some effects. Those are the midi effects I would use at least |
| Kayce Mesia 24.10.2011 | Bome's MIDI translator might be able to help you there. |
| Glennis Bischoff 23.10.2011 | i dont know if that would work, because i dont believe that ableton would allow me to shift all the notes with one button push. unless you know a way to do that? i have no idea how that would work |
| Danial Sawn 23.10.2011 | Have you thought of mapping the top 8 buttons for notes, and then 4 for octaves shifts and 4 for something like keys/cue points? Not sure if that would work, but just an idea. |
