Faders and buttons together #7

Open mysticalchemist opened 2 months ago

Can I have the buttons and faders at the same time instead of going between modes?

ArtGateOne commented 2 months ago

I don't understand your question.

You have access to both the faders and buttons simultaneously across the entire device.

The upper part of the device consists of all the B-wing buttons.

The lower buttons (2 rows) are for the F-wing (plus additional dots for temp buttons).

The only choice is access to executors below or above the faders; it's designed this way because there weren't enough rows of buttons to display everything.

Ah. The part i missed was that the buttons are on B wing. Thank you so much, after a frustrating afternoon on a midi translator this tool did exactly what i wanted, feedback and all. Very nice work.

I hope it's alright if i ask a few more questions i really want to understand how it works. Where is the code the define what goes in the fader far right, currently Master but i want it to be speed 1? The page 5 button colours, are they customisable?

Big fan of the .2 logo on startup :)

The color palette generated on page 5 is specified in the color table – yes, you can enter your own color palette. That was my initial idea for utilizing the controller's colors... Of course, you can also set it so that these colors appear on a different page, e.g., page 1.

You can find the relevant configuration entries at the beginning of the file – just use a text editor and you’ll see them – there are also descriptions provided.

The second way to get colors is to name the Executor with a specific color – if your Executor is named “Red,” the button will light up red

Changing the settings of the last fader might be quite challenging for you, so I recommend changing the wing to number 2:

plaintext Skopiuj kod wing = 2; You will then control f-wing2 and b-wing2, and the last fader will be Speed Master 1 – above it, the Shift button is set to Learn.
