Add an octave up and/or down

#1

I thought it would be easy - but I constantly fail.

This is what I want to do:

Take the incoming midi signal (I use the midi/ctrl/mpe pitch/including pitch bend output) and shift it an octave up or down before sending it to another osc in my patch.

So far I tried to multiply it, add it to itself and others, but it never gives a safe solution.

Any suggestions. Would be great.

This works fine for me:

#3
  • 12 for one octave up, +24 for two octaves up, -12 for one octave down, -24 for two octaves down. You can use jaffa's patch to generate multiples of 12 and add that number to your midi input
#4

Thank you both. I knew it was an easy thing to do - now it seems so obvious!

#5

So do you think this also works?
Depending on the pitch of the incoming signal the pitch is adjustable several octaves up or down (different usage: thus I can either play on the very left or right end of my keyboard and send it to the axoloti)

I needed this for my synth in the past and had written an object. I publish it on this occasion:

Made an object that shifts the incoming signal an octave up/down, inspired by the Ableton Live "Random" MIDI Effect.
