recorded MIDI events.
Note to CC
This effect generates a MIDI continuous controller event for each incoming MIDI note.
The value of the controller event corresponds to the velocity of the MIDI note, which is
then used to control the selected MIDI controller (by default CC 7, Main Volume). For
each note end, another controller event with the value 0 is sent. The incoming MIDI
notes pass through the effect unaffected.
The purpose of this plug-in is to generate a gate effect. This means that the notes that
are played control something else. For example, if Main Volume (CC 7) is selected,
notes with low velocity lower the volume in the MIDI instrument, while notes with a
high velocity raise the volume.
Quantizer
Quantizing is a function that changes the timing of notes by moving them towards a
quantize grid. For example, this grid may consist of straight sixteenth notes, in which
case the notes all get perfect sixteenth note timing.
Ö The main Quantize function in your host application is described in the Operation
Manual.
While the Quantize function on the Edit menu applies the timing change to the actual
notes on a track, the Quantizer effect allows you to apply quantizing on the fly,
changing the timing of the notes in realtime. This makes it easier to try out different
settings when creating grooves and rhythms. Note however, that the main Quantize
function contains settings and features that are not available in the Quantizer.

Note that a controller event is sent out each time a new note is played. If high and low
notes are played simultaneously, this may lead to confusing results. Therefore, the
Note to CC effect is best applied to monophonic tracks (playing one note at a time).
