If each whole note number is assigned to a different pitch of the scale, there's barely more than 2 octaves in 128 notes.
You don't have to limit yourself to 0-127 in Pd. You also are not limited to integer note numbers.
Hey, (I just got a midi keyboard controller) why not multiplying two 0-127 ctlin to obtain more precision !! Any success story regarding that ?
That's essentially what pitch bend is. You have a 0-127 number for the note, and then two 0-127's to describe alterations to the pitch, typically over a range of 2 whole tones, so that each half-step gets 4096 increments.
For my purposes, frequency in Hz is the only way to go. MIDI is useful sometimes,
I find PD's midi notes very flexible. You an use them as withs scales with commas too. Look my jam abstraction on my website, maybe. (in muzaq)
Interesting patch. By "commas" you don't mean tuning commas, do you?
