CAL Programming

[Daniel Fitzgerald]

Hi Support,

 

I use Groove Quantize (from Clipboard) & CAL scripts to modify my MIDI events quite often. Normally these included Velocity, Volume & Pan. To get my MIDI tracks sounding more natural, I would like to insert slight pitch bend wheel changes for each note ( actually modulo every 2nd, 3rd or 4th note but anyway ) for strings and horns.

I tried doing something like this:

;Vari-Pitch.CAL
;This CAL program will insert a random pitch wheel event value on each note event.

(do
    (forEachEvent
        (if (== Event.Kind NOTE)
            (do
                (insert (+ Event.Time 1) Event.Chan CONTROL 3 (random 60 84) )
            )
        )
    )
)


But it is not working,  And wheel doesn't show up in the Piano Roll; I guess it is not a controller. How to I insert Pitch-Bend events using a CAL script?

To insert a pitch wheel event:

(insert <time> <MIDI-channel> WHEEL <value>)

the <value> parameter is an integer value in the range -8192 to 8191.

I got it working! Thank you so much for your help SCOOK. I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you - I don't get  much time in a week for my DAW or be on here. I've attached my working script. Thank you!
