I've been trying to get my head around how to get the apc 40's buttons to control modul8's buttons properly. Those of you that have an apc 40 have probably noticed that the buttons on apc send a note on and note off with each press and release respectively.
Forgive me if i'm way behind and someone has a soloution, but i'm pretty sure i've cracked it.
To do it i needed the help of bomes midi translator. heres how i mapped 1 "clip launch" apc button to "layer 1 on" within modul8:
Button sends 2 midi messages: " a note on with velocity of 127 then
a note off with velocity of 127
these are essentially the same note.
i have translated the initial first "note on" to ONLY send the note on with vel 127,
Then when the note off message with velocity 127 is sent to bomes (releasing the button) it triggers a new "preset change" within bomes. Following? lol
The second preset also receives both midi messages but this time i translated them to send the same midi "note on" BUT with a velocity of 0. Then when bomes recieves the note off signal it triggers bomes back to preset 1.
+ hey presto buttons now toggle modul8s controls. I should have a fully working midi template for bomes in a few days, if anyone would like my template just ask.
Would be nice to get it hosted somewhere.
