Create NoteOn on next beat/bar within Cantabile

[Hunter_Barr]

Hi folks,

I and wondering if there is a way in Cantabile to have a “On next beat/bar” type trigger for any VSTi. I use Kontakt a fair bit and use this for improvised sessions to trigger loops but would be great if I could do this for synths (e.g. either sync’d LFOs or Arpeggiators). So when I press a key/pedal/pad the note won’t start until the next beat/bar.

Is there a Cantabile trigger that could emulate this or is anyone doing something similar with a VST (perhaps a utility VST of some sort)?

Thanks in advance!

Delay Note-On until next beat (emulate Kontakt performance quantize)

Just in case anyone is interested (and sorry for reanimating a very old post), I have discovered that the script in Kontakt which is the Input Quantize script can also be sent as MIDI when Kontakt is configured to do so; Goto Options in Kontakt Under Engine select “script generated notes” in “Send MIDI to outside world” Route Kontakt MIDI out to whatever VST you want I can’t believe I didn’t know this feature existed in Kontakt but this is a game changer for me for performing live using arps/…

Just in case anyone wanted to so the same I found a solution after 3 short years… Details in the post link above!

This may be of use too:

Can anyone recommend a MIDI 'quantiser'?

I would like a VST plug-in that can receive MIDI note inputs, store the last note played, but not issue the note to its output until the start of the next bar. A sort of real-time quantiser? I’ve dug around and not found anything that does this. Anyone aware of a possible solution?

Thanks for this… I wish I’d searched for MIDI Quantise/Quantize now

The Kontakt script does just what I need for now but I might give this a shot too! Feels a little overkill loading an empty Kontakt to do this but for the moment I have enough RAM/CPU resources so all good. Note to self: Improve your own search parameters

That utility created by Neil did the job for me. Can you use that?

I’ll certainly give it a go… But the Kontakt workaround works a treat for me too (and I use it within my sample packs too so familiar with how it works) but keen to have options so will try it out. Looks a little more flexible so thanks for the pointer… Much appreciated
