kyma•tweaky . How . IgnoreMidiNoteOffMessage

Question (or Task)

When using a monophonic MIDI wind controller, I would like to be able to build complex sonorities one note at a time. Getting Kyma to ignore note off messages from the wind controller seems like the best way. Using MIDIVoice with polyphony cranked up, Kyma sounds could be constructed to sustain until some other message ... or EG could have very long decay/release times. I suppose there might be a way using Replicator and sequential activation of numerous monophonic Kyma sounds, too.

Solution(s)

If you add a small amount to !KeyDown, for example:

(!KeyDown + 0.1)

The key will appear to stay down continuously, but will still trigger the voice stealing when your physical key goes up. Kyma interprets any change from 0 or negative to positive as the Key going down. And it interprets any negative number as a signal to do voice stealing.

So this should give you what you need.

Wow. That solution is shockingly simple yet totally opaque (to me anyway). I never would have figured it out on my own.
