Get Root Note

[d.healey]

@MikeB You don't the if (value) part.

Next challenge in this topic!

Is there already a snippet (or 2 lines of code) with the definition or the conversion of the note numbers into notes e.g. 60 = C3 or C4 as the case may be?

So that the root note number is no longer displayed here (60) but the actual note C3.

@MikeB

Engine.getMidiNoteName(midinotenumber);

@ulrik That's simple - isn't there something more complicated?

@MikeB said in Get Root Note:

isn't there something more complicated?

inline function midiNumberToName(n)
{
	local notes = ['C', 'C#', 'D', 'D#', 'E', 'F', 'F#', 'G', 'G#', 'A', 'A#', 'B'];
        return notes[n % 12] + Math.round((n / 12) - 2);
}

@MikeBDo You Have A Snippet For Study On This Usage?

Actually I think my solution is better than HISE's :p This is the JUCE function that HISE is calling. Mine doesn't have as many options though.

String MidiMessage::getMidiNoteName (int note, bool useSharps, bool includeOctaveNumber, int octaveNumForMiddleC)
{
    static const char* const sharpNoteNames[] = { "C", "C#", "D", "D#", "E", "F", "F#", "G", "G#", "A", "A#", "B" };
    static const char* const flatNoteNames[]  = { "C", "Db", "D", "Eb", "E", "F", "Gb", "G", "Ab", "A", "Bb", "B" };

    if (isPositiveAndBelow (note, 128))
    {
        String s (useSharps ? sharpNoteNames[note % 12]
                            : flatNoteNames [note % 12]);

        if (includeOctaveNumber)
            s << (note / 12 + (octaveNumForMiddleC - 5));

        return s;
    }

    return {};
}

@d-healey Haha...yes your's is shorter at least, but you don't get flatmates
