Midicent playback
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2016 3:35 am
Hello everyone
I'm still loving this amazing set of tools. I write a kind of spectralist music made from deformed segments of the harmonic series. It produces interesting results in 1/4 tone or 8th tone resolution but I really would like to hear the midi files that I produce played with midicent resolution (effectively 1200 pitches per octave). Because of the deformation of the scales I use I imagine the effect of gradually changing harmonic relations is stronger if the pitches are as close as possible to the actual harmonics. In other words I want to use tonedivision = 100 and have those midicent values play back on say a VST without too much trouble. Is this possible? It seems that FM8 by Native Instruments can have the 128 midi notes separately retuned but I want to be able to hear midicent 6000 clashing with 6013 or 6023 etc with all the values between audible potentially as well. The idea is that the "sliding" of partials in these complexes I'm making need to be in midicent tuning.
So my question is this. Every time I export a midi file from bach.roll it appears to play in normal 12 tone equal temperament. Is there any VST synth that reads midicent values directly and simply outputs them as pitches? My pieces are polyphonic but each individual line could well be generated separately. Does pitch bend have sufficient resolution to capture midicent tuning variances?
thanks in advance for any help!
cheers KWC
