Hi,
I have problem with sustain pedal of my MIDI keyboard and for its proper function I need to unfilter

B0 7B 00 Ctrl Chg cc:123 v:000

Cubase has midi input filtering but now I am using Ableton Live.

Please help

<a href=http://www.bome.com/midi/translator/>Bome's Midi Translator</a> should do the trick
if you translate to nothing the event should be filtered

cheers, tom

Yes, I know about this device, I will try it, but I would rather have Pulsar or Ableton device/plugin (like in Cubase)...is there any solution ?

Hi, if you must use live & are completely stuck for options you could take a quick look at synthedit, as It's most certainly possible to make a midi filter device as a VST plugin with it. Although, it may take you some time to get started with synthedit depending on whether you've tried it before or not. There is a 3rd party midi module for Synthedit called 'Midi Munger' by David Haupt which may well provide the capabilities you're after.

Isn´t it possible to do similar with Pulsar Modular ? But I am not sure if I have key...

Or is it possible to find similar plain Midi filter plugin for Ableton ?

yeah, Midimunger seems to do everything what I want, but it is VST plugin ?

Isn´t it plugin for another VST instrument called energyXT ?

MidiMunger is an advanced 3rd party synthedit module by Dave Haupt as I mentioned before. The plugins including several MidiMunger based ones available at the link Steffensen gave you (good link Steffensen :smile:

So if I understand right, I just copy mungler *.dll file into my VST folder and I should see this plugin among others VST plugs ?

I'd try his midi filter first. >>
<a href="http://www.asseca.com/nicfit/midifilter ... er.html</a>

If the download doesn't have specific extraction instructions, yes you would just move or copy the dll file to your VST plugins folder. You could make a new folder in your effects or instruments folder (depending whether the midi filter is VST or VSTi) & call the new folder 'midi'. Then just put a load of those handy midi tools including the midi filter in that folder.

When you next open your VST host (AbLive) the new midi sub-directory & midi tools will be available as either an insert effect plug-in or instrument plug-in (depnding on how you've set it up)

cheers,
Shroomz

Thanx Shroomz but I also tried this device, problem is that in Ableton Live these MIDI VST plugins don´t work properly :sad:

It can be done by via Bome's Midi Translator, but as I wrote to Devices forum, best solution would be directly in Scope via device...

imho you're wrong about that, Peter.

What you're after is effectively a bit-logic function that could be done (for example) with a few lines of code on an 8 bit homecomputer from the C64 era.
Both SFP and the Synth edit extension fail miserably on such a simple subject.
They are high level tools with no access to that level of (effective) processing.
Not that I want to diss it, but an installation of 9 mbyte of I-dunno-what to filter 4 bits from a datastream is rather strange.
And midi isn't the most brilliant part of SFP either - all requests to people with the SDK that I read about ended rather clumpsy, if at all...
Why waste DSP resources on such a stupid operation :wink:

cheers, tom
