Streambyter question - expanding note intervals? (Ruismaker Noir + small midi controller...)
Is there a simple way to use streambyter to expand the interval between notes in a given range by an arbitrary constant? I mean, without specifying the target value for each note.
My goal is to remap the small range of controllers like the seaboard block (24 semitones) to 5-6-7 octaves to make better use of Ruismaker Noir’s pitch modulation. So, eg, expanding the interval among notes in a 24 semitones range by values between 4-7.
I don’t care if what comes out of streambyter isn’t in a coherent key - I would use Rozeta scaler after streambyter for that.
(@brambos Down the road, any chance this kind of range expansion function could be added to Rozeta scaler to help with Noir?)

I have no experience with streambyter, but what you want is to do is Note Out = Note In * 5 to cover the entire range with a 2 octave keyboard (assuming your lowest note = 0).
I have a script running now and will post in several minutes - it also contains debugging output of the incomming and outgoing notes to labels for convenient setup
... three hours later ....

I posted the script source on the Audeonic SteamByter forum and prepared an
SpreadNoteRange AB3 Preset
with StreamByter (including the script) and connected Ruismaker Noir. Additionally you can download an AUM project with the same content
.
In both variants, open up the StreamByter UI and press some keys on the hosts keyboard. The left label of SB-AU displays the incomming note number in hex and the right label the outgoing note (if current key was in range) or a hyphen. Read the supplied instuctions, adapt the minNote and maxNote to your contoller or keyboard and save the script.
The note-offs are also transformed into the new range. I enhanced the script to use up the whole range (lowest key sends note 0 and higest key note 127) by using fixed point math and rounding
Wow, thanks so much!! This script is a Noir opener!!! Scaler is a perfect intermediate too.
Streambyter is frickin awesome.
