Non CAL Legato

[Craig Reeves 46]

I've requested this before but the only MIDI legato is by running CAL, which is buggy and doesn't work very well. It's one of those features I really miss when coming back from Ableton.

(do
  (int tbase 1)      ; Or whatever you want, 2 for 480, 1 for 960
  (dword FromTime 0)
  (dword ToTime 0)
  (int Found 0)
  (int setting 1)         ; Or whatever you want, number of ticks cut before the next note

  (while (!= 4 Found)
  (do
    ;;  For each actual Note event occurence, get the Event.Time
    
    (= Found 0)

    (forEachEvent
    (do

      ;;  Find the next Note event occurence and get the Event.Time value

      (if (&& (== Found 1) (&& (== Event.Kind NOTE) (> Event.Time FromTime)))
      (do
        (= ToTime Event.Time)
        (= Found 2)

Very good CALL!

I wonder why isn't the obsolete CAL yet replaced with some more reliable and modern solution anyway?!

I have often thought that the Bakers should go through all the old CALs, and convert them to native functions with corrected logic where necessary. Seems like low-hanging fruit.

Yews - Lots of useful Cal functions that should be part of the DAW ! ☺️....hellooo humanise function !

I have ended up simply writing my own CAL scripts....  like a pitch bend triangle wave generator.....(actual pitch bend events that can be transformed later)....for example.
