Device Overview

Name/Version: AL9 Legato Hold 2.0
Author: alchemical9  
Description: This is a device for extending note lengths so that each note is held until another note is played.

Primarily, I developed this to go after an arpeggiator or other note-generation device where I wanted the note held for as long as possible, no matter what the space between the notes is.

It also provides a way to use a mouse to click and hold notes indefinitely.

This can be tremendously useful for setting up drones or holding looped samples and things like that.

The "Polyphony" control determines how many notes are held at one time.

With a Polyphony of 1, each incoming note will stop the previous note playing. For a setting of 2, the second incoming note is also held, and then the 3rd note played will replace the 1st one. As this goes up, the oldest held note will be replaced by the next note once the number of notes held reaches the polyphony value.

That is a very cool thing to be able to do if you like layering your drones.

The keyboard display shows you which notes are being held, but you can also click on the keyboard to hold notes.

The polyphony limit will be applied to notes added with mouse clicks. You can also stop a held note individually by clicking on it.

There is a "stop" button in case things get out of hand.

The "Legato" switch enables the note length extension for keyboard input, turn this off to return to normal key on/key off playing. The switch doesn't affect notes added with mouse clicks on the keyboard display.

This is a remix of the former "Hold Legato" device.
