2025-03-16 (Su) EWC_Soother Taped keytar

The trick to determining if a note was on the selected scale was to reduce the MIDI note number to the first octave, 0-11, and see if the note matched a number on the scale array. My goal was to determine if an arbitrary note was already on the scale and should not be altered, and then I could work on code that would modify any note not on the scale. I added tape to the keys on my keytar, which were on the minor pentatonic scale based on the A note. The instrument can change octaves, so I tested several. The math for determining the "nearest" note got complex, so I opted to drop them all to the lower-scaled note.

The code worked to shift my notes, so I repeated the process for the Note Off commands. The subfunctions were getting messy because they tried to transmit parts of the command mid-execution, which worked fine when I only wanted to tweak one or two things, but now it was overstepping other calculations.
