Mozaic: Latch and Switch v1.6 - MIDI latching / routing and note display (mainly) for arpeggiators

catherder

I have just released this wee Mozaic script.

I created this script because my KeyStep MIDI controller does not have a proper latch/hold function, and I wanted to use various software Arpeggiators in the same way as the one in my Roland SH-01A synthesizer:
This synth allows you to play monophonic melodies without the arpeggiator already turning your notes into a staccato. Only when you press more than one key at the same time, the arpeggiator starts working.
And this is what the AUTO mode in this script is for. With the advantage, that you can even allow for more than one note to be active before notes are sent to the connected arpeggiator.
On top of that: Of course latching, note display, and several ways to mute notes including a fully fledged MIDI panic.

This is a really cool idea…thanks for sharing!

We are now at version 1.4 with some new features:

• It is now possible to switch the latching behaviour between the default TOGGLE mode and REPLACE mode. In replace mode held notes are released the moment a new chord is played. Great for chord progressions. And when only one note is active, this note can still be released by just playing it again.
• The default latching behaviour (TOGGLE or REPLACE) can be changed by double tapping the SHIFT button.
• The MIDI panic button functionality is now fixed and should work fine.
• It is possible to switch the latching mode with AU parameter User 0. User 1 can be used to trigger the MIDI panic button from a controller.

New version 1.5 adds “Filter Mode”.
Simply turn the A or B channel selector all the way to the right to enable “FLT”.
Both Channel A and B can be individually disabled by selecting this mode. Possible applications:

• Only allow a maximum number of Voices in a MIDI stream.
• Ignore an X number of simultaneously pressed notes, then start sending notes to a connected arpeggiator.
• Use it as a workaround in plugin hosts that currently do not route MIDI channel information between plugins.

Version 1.6 brings velocity based switching and latching.
In other words: Hit the key harder to make it stick or to send the note to channel B.
The thresholds for velocity based switching and latching (SVel and LVel) can be set with the two bottom knobs while pressing SHIFT.
This will probably be my preferred way of playing... Now it's fairly easy to send notes to different destinations (Synths, Arpeggiators etc.) without the need to set fixed regions on the keyboard, or having to set the maximum number of "allowed" notes in Channel A beforehand.
