Quantizing via a CV input

[joesh]

After seeing a Westlicht Performer in action, I'm busy working on finding out more about the possibilities using CV inputs. I'd be curious to understand how the quantizing works when plugging in a source. 

Firstly, in the settings for live input I see you can set the CV input to "Quantize to CV, MOD, TRIGGER MOD 1..6". Where does the quantizing take place? As an example, if you put an LFO into CV input 1 and then route it through to CV output 1, how do we quantize it? Is it done by using a Table set to some quantized setting (example a C major scale), or is there something I've missed? 

Secondly, if I play in some notes from a keyboard, will they (or can they) be quantized in the same way - meaning if I misplay something on a keyboard is there a quantize setting that will rectify my note? (**)

(**) I know that the quantize setting on the Table screen will quantize random notes from the main pattern screen, but I'm not sure if this is also linked to the CV input too. 

 Thanks in advance.

BTW, is it not possible to 'here' the CV played in without recording it? I'm not sure if I've got something set up incorrectly, but it seems I only get to hear what I'm playing in when I press record. Is this correct?

Quantizing is currently only to all notes, not to different scales.
The LFO would only play all the semitones up/down. A table would only quantize a played note but would always be overruled by the CV In-Out bypass in between, so it would not be usefull.

If you set it to record, then you hear what you recorded. You would need to add it to the input setting as well if you want to hear it without recording. But there is a caveat, since a bypass is really a bypass, it would overwrite also your sequence (on change).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Quantizing is currently only to all notes"? If I understand from your next sentence, that means it quantises all voltages to the nearest semi-tone? Will there maybe a be a possibility to send a signal via a quantised scale in the future, as it could be really useful?

For the record, that actually sounds quite useful - the overwriting bit. 

Big thanks as always.

Yes, quantizing to the next semitone is what I wanted to say.

All other quantizing and scaling is scheduled for a future update. Check the threads about it here.

Sounds good, I'll be looking forward to that.

BTW, where is the thread about that, did you mean in the firmware updates thread?

I searched for scale ;-)
