I love that it makes midi when importing samples! It would be amazing if you can set it to midi’s and sample imports to a custom folder. Would keep things organized and not have midi in sample folders. ---

Ok, we’ll add that….one idea is to have draggable file icon on the chord sampler… ---

Can you make it so that the reverse and ramp transformers don’t latch (like the play style, strum and arp transformers do?) it would be nice to be able to arpeggiate a chord in reverse, for instance. Also, I tend to like dissonant chords and scales (I’m no music theorist, so hopefully you know what I mean). It would be nice if you could add more tension-style chords/patterns etc. (i.e. Locrian, Phrygian etc.) Thank you ---

Sorry -meant to say that I would like them to latch (rather than “don’t latch”) ---

Yup, can totally make them latch…currently they are a bit like a caps shift key when type, and your looking for caps lock if that makes sense! ---

I’m loving Notes thus far! I actually haven’t used the internal sampler/synth yet just the MIDI out to other VSTs in Ableton Live. It’s so fun and inspiring. I’d love it if it could essentially slice MIDI notes from a MIDI file and spread it out over the entire keyboard. It could even include more than just chords but short passages that you could perform in a non-linear way. As of now it’s giving me only 7 chords from the MIDI file and often many of the chords are repeats and not really emblematic of the MIDI file I plugged in. ---

Still loving this but it would be nice to have version a version that strips out the sound engine so you could have a more lightweight MIDI only device. ---

I mistakenly posted my feature request in my own post so I’m posting it here for posterity and hopefully a little clarity: hold final notes played in a chord groove as long as I am holding down the midi note. In other words, in non-groove “normal” mode where all notes in the chord are played, I can hold them as long as I want so long as I don’t release the midi key. I’d like the final notes played in the groove sequence to also be held as long as I am pressing the midi key. As it is, the groove is played and then the notes go “off” after some arbitrary time that is not of my choosing. I hope I’m making sense as I’m obviously not a player and might be using incorrect terms. ---

@rszwec Ok, I get this now…it used to work this way where grooves were only notes on timing and the notes off came from when you lift up the key. ---

Yes! That’s a much easier way to put it 🙃 ---

Maybe there can be a toggle to switch behaviors ---

Request: an expansion pack of chordsets that are just plain sad, yearning, melancholoy, that sort of thing. I wanna weep. ---

There needs to be a way to disable the Notes sound engine when you are just using it for MIDI out. The sound engine takes up a quite a large amount of CPU (~20%) and I’m on a pretty current set up. ---

ok fair point….the problem is that the voices are set on the preset to maybe 10, if you lower to a singe digit (even 1), then turn everything off, you should be pretty close to where you need to be. ---

Or…there could be the more elegant solution of having a Disable Sound Engine or MIDI Only Mode toggle in the settings. 😉 ---

I’m still gonna fight to have at least the option to hold notes with the Groove transformer. The Strum transformer holds the notes so long as you are holding down a MIDI key. I don’t see why the Groove transformer wouldn’t do the same. This matters especially if you want to play slowly with more ambient-type sounds. I could just record the MIDI as it is put out now and then go into the MIDI clip and manually lengthen the MIDI notes to sustain for longer but that’s a workflow killer. ---

That should be easy to add as a setting in the transformers 👍 and agree that is a workflow killer and not very “ideas machine” if you’re back in dragging around midi notes in the daw. ---
