distinct CC# mapping table if tabindex= #541
-
|
A continuation of my first panel based on solutions provided in thread:540, thanks to #dnaldoog and #damiensellier. My goal is to reuse/recycle a limited quantity of CC#'s by essentially enabling a new meta table based on if tabindex= Have been doing some [dr frankenstein] hacks by scraping from a few demos and og Ctrlr threads but have not achieved life... yet. My script compiles:"ok" and executes when on tab=0 but not on tab=1 ??? still a noob at this... I have over 407 Sysex messages, for RealTime midi modulation controls, to send but only 32 knobs ;) per preset on the BCR. My Ctrlr panel currently receives CC# 127 from the BCR in +1 or -1 increments to switch thru tabs and returns a Sysex to the BCR to switch presets. So yes I can achieve 480 knobs but limited to 127 CC's from the BCR. I am attempting to send only a few direct CC messages and mainly Sysex to stay inline with Stephen Kay's programming of KARMA midi algorithms on the synth's and software he created, to avoid further "translation" headaches when integrating a final Ctrlr panel in the mix. Peace |

Do you mean that instead of mapping one incoming CC message to one control, you want to map that incoming CC message to multiple controls on different tabs? For example, you might have LFO1,LFO2,LFO3,LFO4 etc needing to send out 4 messages back to the Korg? |

Greetings, Yes I think thats it. incoming CC#70 assigned to slider1 on tab=1 sending F0 something F7 I thought, if possible, then the 407 sysex messages could be divided into +/-12 tabs, each tab with 32 sliders using a pool of only 32 cc messages coming from the external BCR controller... or convince Uli to make this... |

I can kinda of figure out the " if tabindex=0 then enable " |

To where t[k] is the variable looked up in the table would have more than one named slider referenced for any given incoming cc#... so I thought to do a map per tab. myMidiReceived = function(--[[ CtrlrMidiMessage --]] midi) meta = {} -- mapping = { etc... |

This panel works! Code is changed and much more complex: myMidiReceived = function(--[[ CtrlrMidiMessage --]] midi)
local s = midi:getSize()
if midi:getType() == 0 then -- it is a CC message
local number = midi:getData():getByte(1)
local value = midi:getData():getByte(2)
local cycle = mapping[number].groupof or 0
if cycle == 0 then
return
end
for i = 1, cycle do
local tmp_name = string.format("%s %d", mapping[number].name, i)
_m(tmp_name):setModulatorValue(value, false, true, false)
end
end
end
meta = {}
meta.__index = function(t, k) -- fallback value
-- writes a value to a hidden modulator
_c.d:setText(string.format("CC number #%d not mapped!", k))
t[k] = "nullbin"
--utils.warnWindow("Error", "number not mapped to a control") -- comment this out to die silently
return t[k]
end
mapping = {
[23] = {name = "resonance", groupof = 12},
[36] = {name = "cutoff", groupof = 11}
}
setmetatable(mapping, meta)

This table - mapping = {
[0]="bankselect", -- * MSB
[1]="mod1", -- * Joystick +Y (up)
[2]="mod2", -- * Joystick -Y (down)
[3]="", -- * not assigned
[4]="footcontroller", -- * Foot Pedal function
[5]="portamentoT", -- * Portamento Time
[6]="dataentry", -- * MSB of RPN and NRPN data
[7]="volume", -- * Volume
[8]="postfxpan", -- * Pan post FX insert
[9]="", -- not assigned
[10]="pan", -- * Panpot
becomes something like: mapping = {
[0] = {name = "bankselect", groupof = 1}, -- * MSB
[1] = {name = "mod", groupof = 2}, -- * Joystick +Y-Y (up)
[4] = {name = "footcontroller", groupof = 1}, -- * Foot Pedal function
[5] = {name = "portamentoT", groupof = 12}, -- * Portamento Time
[6] = {name = "dataentry", groupof = 1}, -- * MSB of RPN and NRPN data
[7] = {name = "volume", groupof = 12}, -- * Volume
[8] = {name = "postfxpan", groupof = 12}, -- * Pan post FX insert
[10] = {name = "pan", groupof = 12} -- * Panpot
}

Simply beautiful !!! Perhaps more complex code but a whole lot better than my messy round about attempts... Would this need to be coded so that each slider on each tab has a different component label in this new map? It seems to me that conditional if tabindex= (enable true false) requires a component label to enable/disable. Or could it simple enable/disable the entire tab without reference to each component name? such as this: In the morning I will integrate this into my panel and continue m learning curve but I'm not exactly sure where to place the if tabindex= condition? Sleep is what is needed to see this more clearly... |

Oh so do you mean that if a tab is visible, in other words the currently open tab, you only want that control sitting in that tab to change when the cc comes in? |

Yes, this is the idea... |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

So the central design question is "Do you want a single control on the external controller to change banks of controls with different names or will the names be all the same?
P.S. 1 and 2 will make things much much more complex. Remembering that increasing complexity will lead to increasing bugs! To enable/disable or hide/show a component depending on the CC coming in would require a separate coding routine. Probably would call a function from the table mapping for such things. |

This panel only sends out sysex from the controls in currently selected tab only (from CC in). I think this is what you want? myMidiReceived = function(--[[ CtrlrMidiMessage --]] midi)
local currentTab = tonumber(_c.MYBIGTAB:getProperty("uiTabsCurrentTab") + 1)
-- tabs start at zero but uiSliders' names in this panel start at 1 - resonance 1 - 12 etc in tabs 0-11
local s = midi:getSize()
if midi:getType() == 0 then -- it is a CC message
local number = midi:getData():getByte(1)
local value = midi:getData():getByte(2) -- a function is called to construct the name from uiCurrentTab
local r = returnCcMappedControl(number, currentTab)
_m(r):setModulatorValue(value, false, true, false)
end
end
meta = {}
meta.__index = function(t, k) -- fallback value -- writes a value to a hidden modulator
_c.d:setText(string.format("CC number #%d not mapped!", k))
t[k] = "nullbin"
return t[k]
end
mapping = {
[23] = "resonance",
[36] = "cutoff"
}
setmetatable(mapping, meta)
returnCcMappedControl = function(num, tab)
local name = mapping[num]
if name == "nullbin" then
return name
else
return string.format("%s %d", name, tab)
end
end

Will have a look in a second... Truly appreciate the engagement and your patience to understand my ask. I am starting to see how Lua code functions, as I am a very visual learner, simply reading about it doesn't always translates to understanding. Being able to have demo's and other examples to "deconstruct" is a huge part of how I learn. |

Testing v4 which works really well... Tab0 "picksup" the adjustments from the other tabs. having a look at v5 now... |

V5 is a work of a master! as are the previous versions as well :) I can certainly live with simply "hiding" the sliders on tab0, as removing either tab0 and or the sliders on tab0 does crash the panel. |

In this version I tackle the problem of having separate controls in each tab. With this code you can put controls in any tab in any order as long as the name of the control suffix matches the myMidiReceived = function(--[[ CtrlrMidiMessage --]] midi)
local currentTab = tonumber(_c.MYBIGTAB:getProperty("uiTabsCurrentTab"))
local s = midi:getSize()
if midi:getType() == 0 then -- it is a CC message
local number = midi:getData():getByte(1)
local value = midi:getData():getByte(2)
local r = returnCcMappedControl(number, currentTab)
_m(r):setModulatorValue(value, false, true, false)
end
end
meta = {}
meta.__index = function(t, k) -- fallback value in case a cc number comes in but there is no corresponding index in the table mapping
-- writes a value to a hidden modulator
_c.d:setText(string.format("CC number #%d not mapped!", k))
t[k] = "nullbin"
return t[k]
end
mapping = {

yeah I know the announce BCR/BCF controllers look so much better and will probably have MCU integration included. Like every Behringer gear, they announce it, but maybe it won't ever be released. That's their problem. My main controller is the Midi Fighter Twister with 4x4knobs x4 banks it's my favorite CC controller for the moment. |

Sorry for delayed answer... I wrote a function to mute/unmute all modulators. You need to check for dynamic modulators only. Now, for your case, you have 2 ways for doing that: For both methods, you use them in a method Tab_OnChange (on uiTabs, called when current tab is changed): |
