My own build Midicontroller (MidiOut problem)
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2013 5:46 pm
Hi all,
As i prommised some pictures of my own custom build midi controller for suite 2:
As you can see, it took me a lot of effort to come this far. everything is up and running accept the midi out controlling the led's
There still something thad isn't right. I know you have posted this in an other topic "thad its up to the manufacturer" for such a thing. but in this case I am the manufacturer.
Example of the problem:
The situation:
If i press a button, my console send the following to Sunlite: chnl 1, command 0, status 9(noteOn), Level 127 ( in midi terms: 90 00 ff )
If i release the button its sends: chnl 1, command 0, status 9(noteOn), Level 0 ( in midi terms: 90 00 00 )
If sunlite send "chnl 1, command 0, status 9(noteOn), Level 127 "( in midi terms: 90 00 ff ) to my console the LED of thad button goes ON
If sunlite send "chnl 1, command 0, status 9(noteOn), Level 0 "( in midi terms: 90 00 00 ) to my console the LED of thad button goes OFF
The problem:
If I link a button called Pars.Full.On to thad console button by activation.
If i press it, Pars go full on, Led of button goes On.
If i release it, Pars go Off, Led goes Off.
Now it works like a flash button, Led reacts like it schould be. Whene you do this with the mouse it works perfect.
But if I link a button called Movinghead.blue to thad button by activation.
If i press it, Movingheads go blue, Led of button goes On.
If i release it, Movingheads go back white, Led goes Off.
But if i would like thad its stayed blue. i have to change the "Midi Command setting" in the console window.
I change: In active level and note on---> ON and Outside active level and note off --> Disable
If i press it, Movingheads go blue, Led of button goes On.
If i release it, Movingheads stay blue , Led goes Off.
The Led schould stayed on until an other color is selected. whene you do this with the mouse it stays also on.
Its not possible to get this kind of logic in the controller. beaceaus i don't know something else as my controller activated's some buttons (mouse, Cycle, keyboard,...)
So midi out should react always as if the "Midi Command setting" are
In active level and note on---> ON and Outside active level and note off --> OFF
And have the option thad thad thad button only can toggle a software button On.
I could programm in my console thad it doesn send an midi command if i release a button but i can't use thad button for flash anymore. Than i have to reprogram my microcontroller everytime. thads maybe the easyest for you just an option to ignore Vilocity 0 and also do not send it back to the console.
I hope you understand my problem
