    Hi there,

    I have a question about the QUANT block: I would love to play the notes that I wanna choose in it via midi keyboard to make things more intuitive in a jam situation. Is it possible? How? ;-)

    Thanks a lot,
    L.

    Sorry, still not getting it :-(
    I am obviously not an expert with Blocks :)

    Yeah, I know the block. But the notes in the QUANT block are not changing.

    Please study the structure of Quant FM.ens comming with Blocks. Gate has no direct way in Quant Block in this example.
    What's about Pitch to In?

    You can use MIDI-learn to assign keys to the related note within the module. It works only as toggle though...

    Thanks,
    that's to bad with toggle only but at least something :)
    If it worked as a kind of "chord memory" it would be a dream...

    Correction: You can use the MIDI-keyboard that the quantization is enabled for as long as the key is pressed. You have to change the function-mode to 'Gate'. Keep in mind, this generally applies to the GUI-element. Toggling using the mouse will also not work any more.

    It actually does. The MIDI-remote control is polyphonic. You only have to set the correct key for each button.
