You can bend through scales with the quantize one. Just turn on the corresponding toggles in chromatic mode. So for major it would be 0 2 4 5 7 9 11. I have a hunch you might mean having the pitch bend keep every note in the scale and not do parellel bending though. The issue with that is pitch bend is monophonic so that wouldn't work with multiple notes at once. I've been working on some mpe stuff and that could potentially get around some of those issues though. I'll look into that because it does sounds pretty cool. Ill let you know if I make one. It would only be compatible with live 11 tho.
@@stevieschmidt3719 thanks for answering. I did what you described in the paragraph and it's fun. what I mean is different though. Like if I was playing notes in the C major scale, I would like to be able to play an E and pitch bend it and have all the notes still be in the C major scale instead of quantizing through E major.
@@raindrozest9558 yeah the monophonic pitch bending I was talking about in the second part of my response is the problem woth that or I would. Imagine you're playing a c and an e (in c major) at the same time and bending. The c would want to be bent through a major scale to stay in key but the E would need to be bent through a phrygian scale (or a major scale starting on the 3rd). Since the bending is monophonic you can't do both at once though. I'm messing with some mpe which gets around this tho. Maybe I can make it work at some time in the future.
@@stevieschmidt3719 that sounds sweet! thanks again. still though, currently even if I just play E the bending will operate from E being the root instead of staying in C. I tried adding Ableton's scale plug-in to lock it in but that was kinda weird.
@@raindrozest9558 abletons scale effect won't work because it onlys changes midi notes, not pitch bend. It would definitely make things weird. The device only does parellel bends so it treats all notes the same. I would've added that more in key scale feature you're talking about if it would work with polyphonic midi but since it doesn't it was kind of pointless. The moment 2 keys in a scale are pressed down one would be bending in a different scale anyways.
I bought these devices and I like them! I wish there was a scale one. The quantize one is chromatic if your playing a scale.

yes!
