Midi Map - annotating 'Target_control' values #16

Open mungewell opened 3 years ago

mungewell commented 3 years ago

You annotated the XMM file to say what the 'Target_control' values control, in... https://github.com/TheKikGen/MPC-LiveXplore/wiki/MPC-global-midi-mapping-in-standalone-mode-how-to

How did you figure this out? Trial and error??

The new Force FW now supports midi-learn and demos have shown external controller changing the mixer... I'd like to figure out the values for 'Target_control' to see if these work on MPC (hardware and desktop).

I extracted the rootfs and see that there are some higher values used in the XMM files... ie.

Novation\ Launchpad\ Mk2.xmm
...

I checked these values with my MPC Live and the MPC PC application (a quicker way than trials and errors). I did not check all xmm templates. but you are right. More controls probably exist beyond 118.

You should try to map the 4 values above from 236 or maybe to check xmm templates within the Force img, especially those provided by Akai...

Don't forget that that midi learn is also available in a non global mode already (at the project level). Maybe this is the way Andy Mac controls the Force with the Akai Midimix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwa-Y22711Q).
