Scale filter for incoming MIDI notes

What is the problem?

Currently Synth will play any note received via midi, regardless of the scale selected in the Grid menu. I would imagine a switch in the settings that allows user to apply the scale filter to incoming midi based on the selected scale. User could choose to skip the notes that are not within scale or alter them to the nearest note from the scale.

What should this feature achieve?

Consistency in musical scale, regardless whether notes are played on Synth’s pads or received from external device via midi.

Are there any workarounds?

Use scale filter on the device that generates midi notes before they reach Synth.

Any links to related discussions?

Any references to other products?

I want to bump this up. A scale filter for incoming chromatic midi notes to scale them to desired scale that is set in Synth, is the most important feature for any synth using scales!
Especially if it relies on external sequencers.

Please implement it, i did implement this as a software developer and it is essentially a super easy function.

This is technically now possible with the new Pad mapping feature.

Have a look and give it a try (@siejeje & @lunananelu).
Let me know if you want to keep this request open afterwards or if we can consider this resolved :blush:

Perfect, thank you so much @Sandroid :slight_smile:
