What's new

My experience so far with expansions for Falcon and PhasePlant

I think that's possibly it.

BTW I put the chord bank in front of a harmonizer script. I had saved 3 chord memories on C#, D & E. Once I had added the harmonizer I set up a nice harmony and changed the scale to C minor (just as a test). Correct me if I'm wrong but it's not adjusting the pitches up or down to bring them into the key (which is something I just learned that "scale" does do. LOL I'm sort of lost with how to order these. I suppose it would be nice to have a chord bank, but be able to have a 'pass through' function on non-chord-memory-saved notes so that you can play the rest of the keyboard - but it doesn't look like harmonizer allows that (which apparently blocks incoming MIDI notes if you select a scale). Maybe I'm just confused - it's super late!
I think I just didn't understand. Sorry, I'm a bit ill atm and my head is all cloudy.

As I understand these script processors:

If you just want your note input to be in a certain key, use Scale.
Chord Bank will let you assign a chord to a Midi note (so a C major triad of C E G to the C3 note for example)
With Chorder and Chorder Extended you can add voices (like in any other synth) to your note input which have different offsets to create sort of blend between chords and harmonics. It's how I look at it. Watch your ears with these, as there can be a build-up of sound.
Tonal Harmonizer will add harmonics to your note input.

As for the order, where to put what: I'd always start with these as the first event to always catch the MIDI note input and build from there.

Another tip: best way for me to figure these things out is to:
- create a new Program
- create a new keygroup and add an oscillator. I use a Plucked > Piano sample most of the time because it's nice and clean and doesn't contain a lot of harmonics.
- Set up a simple major triad (C E G for example) in slow tempo with quarternotes in your pianoroll and play it continuously.
- Add one of these script processors and go through the presets to hear what they do.
- and again: watch your ears! Default Falcon is LOUD.

The default of Falcon is indeed very loud! And I wish I could remember that more often...

I hope you feel better soon.

Yes, thank you so much - that's the info I wanted. I think the "scale" selection in harmonizer makes that not the best tool for this sort of jam setup I was looking for. I think I'll set up a multi-patch and split the keyboard between chord bank and scale and have some fun. I hope you feel much better soon!
