arpeggiated chords midi triggering display

[Stoecklem]

Hi

I'm a beginner with ice but making some progress. I like using xsi from time to time as a music display by sending in midi and triggering visibility of notes or text in real time. Its been simple to get three notes to trigger the chords display when three notes play at the same time but would it be possible to also trigger it when three notes are played together within a certain time range? Obviously the playback would need to be rolling continuously. Any clues or help would be greatly appreciated.

I am pretty certain this is possible, but it might be helpful if you showed us a little screenshot of the ICE Tree/the general setup you've got so far... ;)

I think you already know more about it than most here. Like Hirazi Blue says would be nice to know how much you have advanced.
I use mostly Claude Veervoot sound nodes btw.

For triggering within certain time range i guess you can use the less than and greater than nodes and the time/frame test nodes.
For the trigger when three notes play at same time i guess you need to have a custom attribute that gets an yes when those three notes play at same time.

Thanks...I should get a chance to play with it tonight. I figured I might need a custom attribute somewhere for this. I took a quick camera photo before I left today. I have the midi triggering the pos y of the piano keys.. and then all notes viewport visiblity linked with expressions to posy.

I've started creating text for each chord. In the ice tree I have one note from each octave in their own compounds..it will definitely get quite messy the more chords I add.

Friendly suggestion: get yourself some screenshot software (like for instance the free and open sourced Greenshot, if you're on Windows, but there are numerous others)
as it is very hard (at least to me) making out the details from the picture you provided.
;)

PS Concerning the messiness: Compounds are your friend to keep your ICE Trees (slightly more) organised...
