How to use midi out

[bigalminal]

I’m a musician forced to be a geek if I want to use today’s music technology. I couldn’t make progress without the help of the guys on this forum. I’ve had amazing assistance over the time I’ve been using Gig Performer, and the patience and perseverance of the ones who have helped me has been so fantastic. Many, many thanks to this great family of GP USERS.

Hi dhj:
I have this realibanjo vst and its excellent. I’m using the guitar hero fender mustang guitar that has a button for each note on the fret board. As you read on this post to play a chord you have to press the root, the third and the 5th to played. I know that gigperformer has a template called
Keys - Knifonium Arp Wave Synth which is a AutoTriad. But the scriplet code is so complex. What I want is this, I want something that when I press a button on the guitar, GP4 will generated the the root, the third and the 5th so realibanjo can play the chord.

Thankyou

A scriptlet can do that.
What Note for example comes in and what should be generated?

You can also use a VST to generate that additional Notes
For example https://trackbout.com/ripchord

For example something like ripchord but with GP4

So you do not want use such a plugin, but GP4 should do that?
When the distance between the notes is fixed you can use 3 MIDI In Plugins in parallel and just transpose then 2nd and 3rd MIDI In Plugin.

Why can’t you use Ripchord? I use it all the time with GP these days

[commist2000]

Excellent Idea but I want to use major chord and minor chord

[commist2000]

I’ll test and let you know.

Thank you

And what determines Major and Minor Chords?
For each root note you could use 3 MIDI In Plugins with the correct note range (single note) and the tranposes

I thought somebody wrote a diatonic transposed scriptlet at one point. That was on my list but kept getting delayed due to focusing on underlying GP stuff!

Perhaps this could help?

Script to automatically play triads in a selected key/mode/inversion

Hi all, Please find attached my first GPScript project. It is meant for non-keyboard players, like myself, to play a triad (with additional bass note) based on the root note that you play (so 4 notes for the price of one). The plugin is a FabFilter Twin 2, but the script doesn’t depend on it, it can be replaced by any MIDI instrument. The triads are correctly selected from the key and mode that you specify. There is a keyboard drawn with visual feedback of the notes in the selected key and wh…

diatonic transposed scriptlet

Still don’t understand this term, as it doesn’t seem to mean the same for everybody (e.g. I understand the MuseScore meaning which seam to be different from what you mean).

But last time we spoke about this, it seems that the solution was here:

[Gig] Single-finger triads with auto chosen inversion

This gig is meant for non-keyboard players to fiddle around with chord progressions. [Single-Finger-Triads] You select a key and mode and play individual notes in that key (indicated for reference by LEDs above a keyboard picture). The note you play is considered to be the root of the chord (triad) and will be doubled in the bass (2 octaves lower). The triad will be major, minor or diminished according to the key/mode that is chosen. The first voicing is chosen in the root position (or an inv…

“Diatonic” means hat notes are transposed and then possibly adjusted to stay within the scale.

Example: if I am in the key of C Major and want to add the third, then pressing C gives me E, but pressing D gives me F, not F#

If I was in CMin then pressing C would give me Eb, not E

Edit: in other words, diatonic transpose uses scale degrees rather than chromatic
