So once again I have run into disability to map midi in M8. Namely i have a midi sequencer running in Plogue Bidule and I need to map the notes it plays to Modul8. What I need to be able to WRITE note on the control and not to click on the control and wait until the note comes up. Becaause when next note comes then it will map that.
Do we have this available some how already?
I can play a note at the time - sort of- and get it done this way with relative success.

as you discovered the midi mapping in modul8 is very basic.
its ok for map a fader from a midi controller, but if you want to
do a bit more, you are totally lost ....
the mapping interface is totally crap.

modul8 does not differentiate between notes and controller values etc.
(for example its impossible to map all the buttons and faders of the akai APC40 controller )

the only workaround, i found is to do the mapping inside a module.
here you get most of the midi messages via DirectEvents.

you can print them out with:
print "type: ", type
print "param: ", param

then you are able to map it.

it is also possible to send a midi event from a module,
using this function:
modul8.sendMidi( yourdevice, theChannel,'NOTE_ON', 52,0)
