Human feel wonky?

Postby Stephanie » Sun Sep 02, 2007 10:17 pm

In trying to clean up clunky Robbie-the-robot midis by applying Human Feel I've run into a problem. Robbie, of course, plays ham-fisted chords, every note smack on the beat with the same velocity. HF tries to roughen this up by randomising start times etc., which works well if applied with restraint.

The problem comes when, say A4 is followed by another A4, and the second A4 gets randomised back before the end time of the first one. The note-off of the first A4 chops off the second A4 - at least on my synth.

I can fix this manually with Duration > extend durations to next note but must do so bar by bar and note group by note group.

Is there a way (or could you make a way?) to check if human-felt notes are going to overlap an already playing note of the same pitch, and shorten the first note to correct?

Or have I missed something in the docs?

It sounds like you are doing the right thing by using the 'extend' function of the duration dialog. Your best bet would be to file a feature request in this forum.
