midi should come in a future update - it is just not ready yet.

Cool - In order of preference for PRESET CONTROL :

Low - MIDI
Middle - OSC
High - KEYSTROKE

Fingers crossed

Hi scaryxpuppy,

if you want to preview what Midi control of MadMapper will probably look like.

- quit MadMapper
- open Terminal application
- type

Code: Select all

defaults write com.garagecube.madmapper midirouterEnabled 1

- restart MadMapper, you should now have an "Edit | Midi Mapping..." menu

Regards.

(I assume this is a non-working layout?)

......any timescales on ver.1.2?

What do you mean by non-working ??

This is perfectly working ... I tested it using a Korg NanoKontrol.

Perhaps some Target/Property will be added/removed, the way Midi messages are interpreted will be changed.

But this version should be fully functioning... however we do not support it.

Hmm... Just can't seem to get OSCulator in, but will keep on fiddling !!!

Great function to add - congrats to all

Just tested with OSCulator and it works

    1) open Edit | Midi Mapping...
    2) click the Add button in the lower left of the dialog
    3) choose a Target/Property
    4) click Learn
    5) send an OSC mapped to Midi command, MadMapper should update : Channel, Type, Note/Command

you could also enter manually the Channel, Type, Note/Command in case of other Midi devices are sending commands continuously that renders the learn mode unusable.

PS: Only ControlChange and Note could be used ... other Midi messages are ignored

Brilliant - was just my problem with a fader sending out 0-127 for presets, and my fat fingers not being able to select manually !

Works a treat though !

Is there a MIDI PROTOCOL page you have??

I can get CC's to work on faders, but would love to be able to trigger from BUTTONS directly?

Any help, gladly appreciated

You could trigger from button, but they should be configured as toggle if you want to toggle otherwise the "set" will be transient.

What values are your buttons sending ? I should work as well with Note or ControlChange. But for example a Note will send a NoteOn on press interpreted as On, then a NoteOff that will be interpreted as an Off.
With the Nano Kontrol (and any midi device), you can configure how buttons are working. So just configure your device to get the expected result.

The "protocol" is the same as for DMX, properties are bool or float

If you are talking about triggering media or preset directly, this is something we are thinking of.

Im using TOUCHOSC on my IPAD linked to OSCULATOR

What I would like to do is have 10 buttons setup that can be configured to trigger PRESET 1 - 10

As i say, it works great with a FADER asigned to a CC but this has values 1-127 so trying to get a precise number is quite difficult

If you are talking about triggering media or preset directly, this is something we are thinking of.


This would be ideal

Many thanks again for your time on this - it really is appreciated

just in case, touch osc can output midi. Maybe you can achieve what you want without using osculator…
