sparx Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Hello all Been playing about with the NG project today, its great! I'm driving a synth board which has two banks of sounds, first is General MIDI, so have set up an encoder to generate program change messages and display them on the LCD. All is fine. Set up a toggle button and LED to switch to the other bank on (CC0=127), what is the best way to check the value of CC0 and display the correct voice? Was thinking of something like an IFTHEN ELSE function but perhaps there is another way? Thanks S
TK. Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Hi, see also: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_ng_manual_ngl.html Following snippet should work:COND_LABEL sndbnk COND <127 "GM Bank" COND_ELSE "Alt Bank" This conditional label can be print with "^sndbnk"Best Regards, Thorsten.
sparx Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks, but don't think thats what I was after, there will be two lists of instrument names, one for each bank, what would be the best way to display the correct instrument name rather than just the bank name? Thanks again S
TK. Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Ok, understood. Something like "conditional events" are not available yet. Please give me some time to think about a good solution which also covers other topics on the Agenda. E.g. it would not only be nice to print labels depending on values of certain elements, but also to send different MIDI messages. E.g. this would allow to send different CCs when an encoder is incremented/decremented. Or it would allow to realize a "split point" for a MIDI keyboard. It could work somehow like demonstrated in this snippet: /edit: final solution: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fcontrollers%2Fmidibox_ng_v1%2Fcfg%2Ftests%2Fconev_5.ngc But also: /edit: final solution: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fcontrollers%2Fmidibox_ng_v1%2Fcfg%2Ftests%2Fconev_4.ngc Best Regards, Thorsten.
TK. Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Before starting with the implementation, I would like to know if somebody has some additional usecases for the "conditional event" feature in mind? Best Regards, Thorsten.
TK. Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 I started with the conditional events. You case is already working: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fcontrollers%2Fmidibox_ng_v1%2Fcfg%2Ftests%2Fconev_5.ngc But the conceptional work isn't finished yet - there are some other cases I would like to cover as well, but which can't be handled by the current algorithm. Best Regards, Thorsten.
TK. Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Now released in v1.017 - have fun! :) Best Regards, Thorsten.
