Hi, with pleasure: composition:
what I wish to achieve:
a second task (for later on...) would be edit: a third task would be to create a snapshot section for those 40 color and 20 option knobs. because I already fear that the preset section wont have any interference at all on the buttons in CTRLR. I guess that's true, so it would be easier to create a CTRLR based snapshot/preset section. (Save state of on/off buttons) an example of an on and off sysex i received is: ctrlr midi monitor or another knob on RAW:[f0 f0 00 00 57 01 10 00 20 00 00 f7] thanks for any help. any example panel of such knob (or modulator for the crescendo) would be welcome :) edit: the "presets" sysex messages are different. And look like this (I need to recheck this as soon as I am back on the instrument): edit: the crescendo pedal goes like this: |

Hi,
The message type to send is set to sysex if you want to remove the first F0 just click on the "sysex formula" field and remove it. John decided to use the modulator value calculator on the top of the pane and multiply the ON value by x32 Or you could also tell the corresponding values for both states like this : |

You are right a sysex MIDI message can never contain a value higher the Ordinarily that second byte will be the manufacturer id. ie 43 is Yamaha, 41 is Roland and if the manufacturer doesn't have a number 00 is used I believe. You can change the incoming value dynamically by changing the "reverse" receiving message to See new panel. off is blue on is red_2_0_using_midi_in_expressions.zip

‘A’ is just the name of my virtual midi port I use for development and often route through the program BomeSX for monitoring, so just change that and all should be okay. Also, I recommend using only Ctrlr 5.3.201 on Windows . Stay clear of version 6* |

That's right - one way to visualise or convert a hex number to decimal (maybe you know all this already) is to split the binary text representation of a hex number into two. Well I didn't know this for the longest time. So visualise Midi data values have a limit of 127 as represented by one byte, so that is 0x7f (7 * 16=112) and (F*1=15) = 127. If you are adding a string '80' to a MIDI message something is wrong. |

Finally I analyzed the SysEx messages being used on 65 buttons : Basically i found 3 string sections

Calling both on one string would be

Dear @dnaldoog , I hope I can express myself better today than 6 days ago.
The way it's done: on expression to evaluate: setGlobal (0, setBit (global.k0, 4, modulatorValue)) : value 4 stands for hexadecimal 10 (as you know of course, but i didnt know nothing about it 6 days ago) value 0 = 1, value 1=2, value 2= 4, value 3=8, value 5=20, value 6=40 If I create 7 buttons this way, the output sysex is exactly what I want. Adding and substracting (on/off mouse on button) sends out exactly the sysex message my instrument understands. All 7 buttons turned on will send out "7F" (127 decimal) and that's how it's programmed. Now, there are a couple of problems I ran into:
There must be also a general misunderstand of myself with Ctrlr Panels:
What I wish to achieve:
As I found out before: and if "00" "08" "10" are "IDs" before 4 following strings ... and those are all used, my instrument sends out this message to reset them all this way: Since I wasn't even able to copy/paste the "DEMO- Complex expressions" (should i re-upload this panel?) into a new panel without making it work, it would be marvelous to have another start of those functions integrated in your amazing "save_snapshot 2" panel! big love p.s.: I am intrigued by the mod1 DISABLE knob of "DEMO - Complex expressions panel" how this and why: setGlobal (0, setBitRangeAsInt (global.k0, 4, 2, 0))

Here is an idea of what you might be after, but warning! It seems to be very buggy and has taken me hours to even get it to this point :) - but it should set you on your way. You can send a CC signal from a controller B0 03 00 will load 'snapshot 3' and send all midi. It's basically working, but Ctrlr itself could be buggy with the buttons. The sliders seemed much more stable and I have read people having problems with Global Variables in the past. |

This version v5.0.0 sends out all MIDI when changing the comboBox - it utilises a hidden uiSlider which has the summed fields of each group of 7 buttons, using modulatorCustomIndex. function sendSnapshotMIDIout()
local div7 = #listOfModsIndexed / 7 -- currently 21 controls - this table size will be 3
local t = {} -- initialise
for i = 1, div7 do -- in lua a multidimensional table must be initialized
t[i] = {}
end -- initialise multidimensional table
for i, v in ipairs(listOfModsIndexed) do -- a table.sorted index of hash array listOfMods
--NOTE:: modulator names must end in 1-7
local index = panel:getModulatorByName(v):getProperty("modulatorCustomIndex")
table.insert(t[tonumber(index)], v) - a multi dimensional list of modulator names
end
for i, v in ipairs(t) do
local sum = 0
for i, value in pairs(v) do
sum = sum + bit.lshift(panel:getModulatorByName(value):getModulatorValue(), i - 1)
-- sum the values and bit shift left using the multi dimensional array of 7 values
--(i.e. the value of the 7th button gets left shifted by 6 so 0000 0001 becomes 0100 0000 or 0x40)
end
panel:getModulatorByName("bank" .. i):setModulatorValue(sum, false, true, false)
-- a hidden uiSlider modulator that fires off the sum of seven buttons as a MIDI message to machine
end
end
... so now if you add any more buttons, you will have to enter in the row number they belong to in the Actually, if I had know the end goal better from the start I would have not used the ModulatorValue Expression from the DEMO panel and would have used a modulatorCustomIndex to sum each button with lua and send the single summed value that way, but whichever works is fine. Just if you run into problems with the panel global variables, it might be best to change to pure lua. EDIT: Version 5 might address the incoming MIDI distribution!!!

Dear @dnaldoog , I am totally amazed by this. Thanks to your little instruction tutorial, I ve been able to expend the panel to 28 knobs which were indeed controled by the snapshot combo. Totally amazed ! 💯 Congrats as well to the fact that now the buttons react to what they receive on midi! (Well, it does struggle on some buttons, quiet often the first 2 buttons in a line. Also it seems like the panel preferes that the buttons get activitated one after another in line, as well as in the logic in a chess field line from top to buttom. As soon as the buttons are activated randomely, not every button is called on/off) Snapshots send out perfectly on combo! But they won't receive back the same info, which they send out, what brings me into a major question:
f0 00 00 57 01 00 00 00 00 00 f7 but the 4 strings after the bold number should not be received seperately but at the same time, no? I should receive all informations happening on Another question is, should e.g. f0 00 00 57 01 00 18 00 00 00 f7 lighten up only the 5th button from the left - or both the 4th and the 5th from the left ? Some detected bugs: some snapshot file loads can cause the panel not to send anything out anymore. Is it possible to set the reset globs not only for the internal device but also reseting all buttons back to off ?(somehow like "reset snapshots does, but without reseting the snapshots ;)) I tried to integrate the midireceive from your "blue is off red is on v3" into this panel (it's good to have that integrated, it's easier for me to see what i receive as (last) midi string from the instrument directly in the panel, but i didnt know how to integrate into that without interference on the Midi out Panel: I feel this is going to be a wonderful little panel! Big hugs, edit: to make it more "visual" Reconstruction on String f0 00 00 57 01 00 xx xx xx xx f7 1st string after f0 00 00 57 01 00: flute 4 (PED) 2nd sting after f0 00 00 57 01 00: Bourdon 16 (GO) 3rd string f0 00 00 57 01 00: doublette 2 (GO) 4th string after f0 00 00 57 01 00: 2 Pricipal 8 (PO) so basically if sysex msg : f0 00 00 57 01 00 03 00 00 00 f7 (me as well, i need help to understand if it's all logical what i try to display) edit: I forgot to mention, that those strings (already mentioned) must be implemented somehow to this the preset msgs from the instrument msp go like this (that's an example) |

Ah, so you would need to work this logic into the panel and maybe completely disable all the expressions and just use lua like I said I would have preferred to do from the start: I think such a solution is more solid. 😊 I think you are going to have to do a complete re-write! 🤔 -- = string.format
--myPanel = panel
registerByte = function(--[[ CtrlrModulator --]] mod --[[ number --]], value --[[ number --]], source)
if myPanel:getBootstrapState() then
return
end
if source ~= 4 then
return
end
local byte1, byte2, byte3, byte4 = 0, 0, 0, 0
for key, v in pairs(bytLU) do
local val = panel:getModulatorByName(key):getModulatorValue()
val = val * v.von
if v.position == 1 then
byte1 = byte1 + val
elseif v.position == 2 then
byte2 = byte2 + val
elseif v.position == 3 then
byte3 = byte3 + val
elseif v.position == 4 then
byte4 = byte4 + val
end
panel:getLabelComponent("d"):setText(sf("f0 00 00 57 01 08 %.2X %.2X %.2X %.2X f7", byte4, byte3, byte2, byte1))
end
end

It would actually be very handy to have an on/off button for midi CC in and out coming msg. |

This panel is an adaption of your code. I have to say that at this point I have spent countless hours on this project. Most of last week and just doing this panel took me from 5:00pm to now 10:45pm! Lol 😢 Because I don't really know what direction you are taking, I am like a pilot flying in heavy cloud. Where am I going? What instrument is this even for? Also, personally I would never be testing VST or Standalone instances unless I had fully sorted out the logic of the panel first. It is a long process even if one has experience; but I really recommend you study someone's panels (mine?) to get ideas on which direction to take. Aslo lua; if you can understand tables you can work with data and then implement efficient code. Without deep knowledge of tables tables, people tend to write C style, which I think is less efficient in lua. I printed that page off and read it and read it on the train to work until I had that eureka moment! To me now to reintegrate the snapshot code I originally showed you would take more countless hours, because the overall blueprint has changed from what I first posted - actually these were only ever pointers, not fully conceived solutions. Ctrlr is difficult, but I think you have plenty of code to work from and also many challenges to get it working! Anyway I hope this panel is working. Again it is an adaption of your code and I decided I would probably do it differently given the second bank of controls (admittedly) I always knew you needed to implement those. But such is the importance of planning, which I can't do in this case! ❤ |

This version uses a uiSlider to set a CC number to 0-127 - if an external MIDI controller sends out a signal when set to that MIDI number, the panel will set the snapshot corresponding to the CC value and send the snapshot. Values sent above the number of snapshots saved on the panel are ignored.

as I am new to this, i wished to bypass it with a button, but i figured out one way to do that which works for me, that's cool: I am very amazed by your code of this panel. It's like a poem. It's really short and well thought. @dnaldoog the only need of that little code is, because sysex msg sent, send out sysex msgs, thats not good.
(for now, if button reset all 0 is switched, we got 3x27 Sysex Msgs which repeat. That is 81 Sysex messages just to say in the end: F0 00 00 57 01 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 f7 . My Cubase got headache at this moment receiveng 81 Sysex Messages, fear what this could do to the organ (actually the organ is more cool i guess, ... ) But hey, this should be 3 0x00 0x08 0x10 messages or all combined.. that's chic! |

This slider doesn't do anything itself. Let's say you have an external controller MIDI device next to your organ. Instead of using the computer to change snapshots, you could use a slider on the physical controller to change the snapshots. If the physical slider's rotary knob or whatever is set to a CC number that is the same as this uiSlider, then the panel will react and change the snapshot. It's possibly a feature you don't need, so please ignore it. |

Thank you @dnaldoog , for this trick ! When I opened your panel v20 it was still on panelMidiPauseOut, 1 i guess, because nothing happend. However, while implementing it into mine it does work !
In short: all But it shouldnt send back Sysex at all as a result of receiving Sysex . Maybe a first work-around would be a filter which filters out doubles created under 20ms I would have in mind a code like String is ident (this is a cache) But even better would be not to send Sysex as a reaction on receiving sysex.

@dnaldoog and that's why i couldt use the uiSlide as controller ? (which would be very usefull! as you suggested this way) Organic 19 working 20220420 mod6.zip Ctrlr send me sometimes one single error:

BRICKWALL @dnaldoog BRICKWALL !!! edit: that's actually not the problem, in contrary "plugin host to output" must be off otherwise there are midi feedbacks happening (if device out is sent to a device). Ctrlr sends as VST in Organic 19 mod 8 basically : etc... Now Reset all 0 and 1 display on my Controller as well :) !!! But still the snapshots don't send out to the controller ! Even with the setup hooked up working. What could this be ? Edit: IT WORKS !!! Setup NO THRU NO OUTDEVICE , but Out to Host only. Would it be possible to make it work in Standalone ? With routing outside the Host and all coming out from CTRLR OUT DEVICE and not CTRLR VST OUTPUT ?
Marvelous !! |

No! The slider value refers to the CC number your external controller is mapped to (Imagine a slider on a MIDI keyboard) As you move the slider, the value changes. The value changes the shapshot number - the CC number connects the panel to the MIDI keyboard. So if your keyboard has a slider set to B0 03 00. Change the uiSlider to three and the panel and keyboard will link up. Change the slider value to 1 on the MIDI keyboard and snapshot 1 will load - So the message would be B0 03 01 coming into the panel. CC consists of three bytes
Note that B0 in decimal is 1011 0000 176 - any number over 127 is considered a status byte in MIDI (anything under 128 is data) , which is why sysex starts with F0 or 1111 0000 or 240 decimal and ends with F7 247. |

Now I got it! The uiSlider sets CC . That was difficult to get in my mind. It works perfectly ! |

I have to admit that uiCombo "snaphshot" sends out zillions of doubled informations. And not just 3x 0x00, 0x08, 0x10 strings.
What would bring me to the very last task of this panel:
That 's somehow bringing the symphony of this beautiful panel to its end. And it would be totally DONE ! (if I would understand your slider then 0_o ) Big LOVE P.S.: @dnaldoog : I hope I made this very last demand on the panel "BRICKWALL" clear ;) Love to you! |

Question: uiButton name msh201 is the first intrsument on the top left of the panel, listed as f0 00 00 57 01 00 01 00 00 00 f7, if no other buttons are switched on. |

You are a magician. I am totally impressed. As well as the beauty of programming. Enormous short code. 🥇 Error: Unfortunately, the header is 5 bytes "F0 00 00 57 01" not 4 bytes "F0 00 00 57" thought I could correct it that way: unfortunately not. I am curious how this is done. There was a little bug, where calling the panel midi was muted. I could fix that by setting back the timerId from 1 to 0 in the init method. |

to finish this, This is what I meant which CC msgs in this panel.
(btw, your french is far better than my english, but this you already know ;) ) CC msgs send all out, while changing RESET ALL to 1 or 0. This is true , while watching Ctrlr MidiMonitor. (To receive CC msgs assigned on uiButtons, it seems the "input from host to comparator" MUST be switched ON. Yours, we are finally quiet there, |

Well done working it out. You can now delete the You're right. I set timer 1 to run where it should have been timer 0!!! |

This is how you would send all CC messages out. I am presuming the unit can handle the data sent at once, otherwise you would need to stagger each message in a timer (See Organic 22_22_1_mod1 timer CC send). The function sendBulkCCmessage()
local chann = chOut()
for _, myMod in pairs(listOfMods) do
for k in pairs(myMod) do
if tonumber(_G[k]:getMidiMessage():getProperty("midiMessageType"))==0 then -- it's a CC message
local value = _G[k]:getModulatorValue()
local midiNumber = _G[k]:getMidiMessage():getProperty("midiMessageCtrlrNumber")
panel:sendMidiMessageNow(CtrlrMidiMessage(sf("b%.1X %.2X %.2X",chann,midiNumber,value)))
end -- it's cc
end -- inner loop
end -- outer loop
end
init = function(--[[ CtrlrInstance --]] type)
--save all modulators as lua variable names (no spaces or illegal lua variable characters allowed)
for _, byt in pairs(listOfMods) do
for k, v in pairs(byt) do
_G[k] = panel:getModulatorByName(k)
end
end
...
end
function chOut()
return panel:getProperty("panelMidiOutputChannelDevice")-1
end

@dnaldoog , thank you for your timer CC version, as well, fortunately my controller doesnt need this feature. But it'll be a great feature for all of those you would be in need of this. As you can imagine, I studied all your code and the way the panel could work at its best. I am on Cubase right now: and my SYX receiving works ONLY : Ctrlr OUT DEVICE (as fake Virtual Port) routed (in Cubase to IN) ... I fall back on: sliders and snapshot combo: Cheers to you buddy, you made a dream come true for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Do you mean mapping to a vst index? All you need to do is change the cc mapping slider’s vst index to a number you want and access it in Cubase that way, maybe 😵💫 ?? |

This version 23 has VST indexes generated. There's a button there which you can right click and send to hidden layer and only use when you want to regenerate. Here is a cubase project file showing how to access a parameter on the panel.

Do you mean a slider that changes the snapshots in the panel instead of using the combo box? |

iuSlider, which interacts the same way as an external hardware slider but inside the CTRLR host, and even better : could itself set its "maximum value of component" automatically set to the number of snapshots available ? ( ;) ) |

Excellent @dnaldoog , just EXCELLENT . I love it !!! To make this slider brickwall working, for now :
And another idea on this, a really handy idea (!), a bit magical :
Now, my Idea is:
That would mean for example: [graphical] - CC incoming gets mapped on this slider as: 2 Snapshots (internal mapping): So the sensibility of the hardware knob/slider as 0 to 127 would always be updated intelligently by how many snapshots we actually have! [That would be slider intelligence pure !!! and for everyone in the ctrlr cummunity a magic tool (no more need to tweak external for internal purpose, all done on internal ] [hardware cc 0-127 relative on internal demande] |

Okay! 🤔🤔🤔🤔 How about this then? This is the incoming interpolation formula: function interpolateIncomingCCValue(value)
local s = #snapshotList
local div = 127 / s
local z = value / div
z = jmax(1, math.ceil(z))
return z
end

Hi everyone, I am new here, discovering this wonderful playstation, just amazing.
My first task:
I d wish to get an on/off sysex signal BUTTON.
On an 11 section Sysex message ( I got both on/off messages ; which btw are starting in ctrlr monitor f0 f0 ??)
I tried to understand this: https://ctrlr.org/forums/topic/toggle-two-sysex-strings/
but i just discovered this wonderful application and forum yesterday, and i dont know how to apply it.
I'd be very thankful, if one of you could send out a little panel example for such a button (which toggles between 2 colors)
Love
SYS-EX
