Parameter Conversion
Table showing which parameters convert best to other parameters
Parameters are designed to be copied and moved around to allow for unlimited experimentation. When a parameter is dropped on a destination outlet with a different type, its data is converted to that type. For example, if you drop a Figure on a Velocity outlet, the velocity values of the symbols in that figure are extracted.
Only certain conversions make practical sense . These are listed in the table below.
| Drag | Drop On | Conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Figure | Velocity, Length, Step | Extracts velocities, lengths or steps of symbols |
| Rhythm | Estimates a rhythm profile of the figure | |
| Flow | Estimates a flow profile from the figure | |
| Dynamics | Estimates a dynamics profile from the figure | |
| Sustain | Estimates sustain pedal activations from the figure | |
| Take | Converts the current output of the phrase to a Take | |
| Controllers | Converts the melodic shape of the figure to CC values | |
| Harmony | Figure | Creates chord segments for each chord change |
| Take | Figure | Creates a figure with static pitch symbols |
| Parameter that resembles a shape or curve | Parameter that resembles a shape or curve | Converts the shape or curve as best as possible |
| Container | Harmony, Tempo, Scheme | Grabs the parameter from the container and inserts it |
For the Figure parameter and many others, you can also use the right-click menu on a parameter outlet to do things like , or , or .
CAUTION: Conversions not listed here are considered experimental and may
change in the future.
