Description

Devices for all things pitch. Generating arpeggios, manipulate chords, and transform melodic ideas.

Chord Inverter

Automates the process of creating alternate voicings of chords in your chord progression. This device is able to detect chords in the MIDI clip by looking for overlapping notes, then can modify them using two separate transformation processes: inversion and stretching.

Bass + Lead

Extracts the lowest note from a chord progression to make a bass line. Take your chord progression, and copy it into a clip on your bass track, then run this transformation! This device uses the same chord detection logic as Chord Inverter, with an Attraction control that allows you to dial in the sensitivity of the chord detector.

Turing Machine

Turing Machine is a MIDI Tools version of the Music Thing Modular Turing Machine sequencer. Its ingenious design uses a randomness and a 16-bit shift register to generate pitches and rhythmic patterns.

Pattern Transform

Pattern Transform is a multi-function MIDI clip manipulator that is fantastic for creating variations on your ideas. It is probably the most powerful of all of my MIDI Tools. Want to take a beat but just thin it out by removing some of the notes? Or increase the freneticity of the beat by adding more notes? Or create some controlled melodic variation (in key, of course) within the course of a bassline. This device can do all of that, and more.

Condition Transform

Condition Transform is a multi-function MIDI clip manipulator that helps you create variations on existing MIDI Clips. Like Pattern Transform, it allows you to selectively transform some notes in your MIDI clip while leaving others untouched. Notes are selected based on the note's pitch, velocity, duration, or chance value. I built this tool to allow me to do ratcheting and subdivision precisely with complex MIDI clips.
