Selection Filter 2

Select notes in clips based on their musical properties.

Selection Filter allows notes to be selected according to twelve types of musical criteria (nine types in Live 10):

Pitch — select all notes within a range of pitches

Scale — select all notes that are members of the chosen scale

Highest/Lowest — select the highest (or lowest) note of every chord

Velocity — select all notes within a range of velocities

Velocity Range - select all notes within a range of values of the Velocity Range parameter (Live 11.1 or higher only)

Release Velocity - select all notes within a range of release velocities (Live 11.1 or higher only)

Probability - select all notes with a range of probabilities (Live 11.1 or higher only)

Beat position — select notes that begin at a particular rhythmic location within a bar, and then optionally at multiples of that position

Duration — select notes within a range of note lengths

Nth note — select every Nth note, with an optional offset

Active/Inactive — select all notes that are unmuted (or muted)

Random— randomly select a fixed number or a percentage of notes

February 27, 2024

Changelog:

version 2.0.4

- improved visibility with Live themes

version 2.0.3

- fixed a bug that caused the focus to always jump to the detail view when selecting a clip. "Show Clip After Running" is now off by default; note that turning it on will cause this behavior again.

version 2.0.2

- fixed a bug that caused MIDI notes passing through the device to be played twice

version 2.0.1

- the Expand button can now be MIDI or Key mapped.

version 2

- fully compatible with Live 11.1 or higher (Selection Filter will not work with versions of Live 11 earlier than 11.1.)

- adds three additional selection criteria for Live 11 (Velocity Range, Release Velocity, and Probability)

version 1.0.2

- fixed "bars" option and added missing note options for the Beat Position repeats

version 1.0.1

- added a check for Live's version. If it's <10, the device shows a message (and hides the Expand button).

version 1

- initial release

Known issues (in Live 10 only):

Extremely short durations

Under certain conditions, Selection Filter will increase the duration of extremely short notes (less than 1/2048th note) by a very small amount. If you are using these notes and they’re directly adjacent to other notes, the increased durations may cause the adjacent notes to be deleted. (In practice, this situation will almost never occur.)

Notes that extend across a clip’s loop boundaries

When recording into a looping clip, Live splits notes that sustain across the loop boundary, and assigns the first of these notes a start time that is just slightly before the beginning of the clip. Under certain conditions, Selection Filter may move the start time of these notes earlier by a very small amount. This may cause the clip to sound different. (In practice, this situation will almost never occur.)

Randomly selecting large numbers of notes

Random selection may not work properly when working with more than 4096 notes.

Selection Filter does not work with versions of Live prior to Live 10.
