New CAL script - convert Controller to AfterTouch

[Nigel Mackay]

Maybe there is already one somewhere. I just like programming. ?

Really old MIDI files used the modwheel for modulation (read vibrato.) These days VSTis use the modwheel for volume/expression. And use aftertouch for modulation/vibrato. This script changes modwheel events to aftertouch events, keeping the value.

Will work with any controller, just defaults to modwheel.

This is very helpful. Thanks! I don't really know anything about CAL programming, but looking at this script I was able to modify it to create KeyAft events. Would it be possible to add an input field so you can specify the note number for KeyAft?

Will get back to you.

Thanks for the reply. I was just curious if this modification would be a simple thing to do, but please don't feel you have to spend any time on it.

I have created a CAL script that translates Channel aftertouch events to Key Aftertouch events using a selected note to determine the Key Aftertouch note.

@henkejs Would you like to look at @Promidi's script and have a go yourself?

Thanks Promidi and Nigel. You've solved my problem. Much faster than editing events one by one in Event View!
