arps automation/ guitar bends

2001-06-21 by GAmoore@aol.com

I think the keys should be labeled "C" and "D", and perhaps color coded 
as well. C is yellow, D is orange, E is green, etc. And instead of just 
playing arpegiators, you would have 1,001 well known melodies which would 
not only play, but you could morph between them randomly to create new 
melodies......and if you could set up a controller where the different 
shades of light coming of the television activated a photo cell to choose 
the melodies and notes, you would have an autonomous music creation 
station - no need for humans at all.

On a more serious path : Have you ever noticed that bending strings on a 
guitar never sounds the same as bending the notes on a sampler with a 
guitar patch. Does anyone know what the difference is in the curves? I 
mean the pitch bend wheel must be very linear, but the guitar must be 
non-linear. And if you can get a good bend, then you can get a realistic 
vibrato too by tiny pitch bends.
