I was wondering if there was a quantizer module for AE?

I'm currently working on it; it will be a 4-channel quantizer, with 16 scales selectable in a 1U module.

Are the scales going to be separately selectable per channel, or are they "global" for all four?

For me this makes sense, as one usually wants all pitch signals to stay in the same scale for traditional music work. I guess fitting four separate channels with their own scale selector knobs or switches in a 1U module might also be more tricky/expensive. |

Could you achieve that by running several separate quantizer modules? My plan exactly. I have gaps waiting for Robert to get these into production. Part of this also comes from running a trio of SEQ16s, but it'll also allow me to utilize different tuning systems within the same patch. |

But if there is demand for it, of course I'd love to make a luxury version with SD card, separate scales for each input, maybe scale configuration within the module etc. I think, for the most users the current thing should be fine. Fingers crossed ;-) |

Another Scala-based solution I've not had a chance to explore yet would be to use its tuning tables with Ableton CV Tools...IF that's possible. But that actually seems more plausible, given that it puts both Scala and what it's talking to in the same environment. Maybe in a bit when I'm not screwing around with screwing things down...

I’m just super psyched on this! I’ve been hoping for an AE wuantizer for some time!

Hopefully, MIDI 2 will help that movement along.  |

Hopefully, MIDI 2 will help that movement along. Hey robertlanger , is it too late to request 19-tone equal temperament as one of the scales in the quantizer? Prime numbers are intrinsically nice anyway but, unlike 12 TET, 19TET lets you have a full cycle of any interval before any note is repeated (12, not being prime gets stuck when you cycle anything that divides evenly into it: 2,3,4,6) Also, 19 gives you more, and crunchier, 3rds and 6ths (minor, sub-minor, major, super-major). My list could go on. A Balinese scale would be lovely (technically, every village actually has their own unique one and some villages even tune their wind-chimes to it so the whole village is tuned to the local set of gamelan gongs!) |
