Only play tones and semitones - nothing in between ?

Post by catherder »

Is it possible to configure ANS 3 to only play exact tones and semitones without the frequencies in between ? This would be like extending the pianokeys at the left hand side across the screen and anything within the area of a key would trigger exactly that note.

Thanks for the quick reply. This software is awesome and I love playing with it. I would like to see something like this in a future version. Maybe it would be best to set it up as another graphical effect: The image gets divided into horizontal areas that have the same height as the piano keys on the left hand side. Then you calculate the mean of every vertical row of pixels within each area.

Yes is possible.
Must be calculated correctly height of sonogram with number of notes
If you have 9 octaves// from 30Hz to 15kHz- real audable to 9kHz // x 12 notes= 108 pixels HEIGT of picture in project settings.
If for C1=32.11 Hz then A4=432Hz
And each key is exactly one note

IF height of picture is
5x9x12= 540 pixels
Then you have 5 sub notes for each note but
Current frequency is lower sub note
Some adjustment of C1 can match frequency to center sub note
