[iamForce] FORCE Mode Logo appears and back to normal mode. #30

Closed air-v closed 1 year ago

air-v commented 2 years ago

Hi all, i've already done the SSH image on my MPC One. SSH connection is good and all sound good to.

When i run MPC with Force IMG on USB KEy, it boot on USB and Blue FORCE logo appears....And.......finish back to MPC soft. No FORCE mode at all. Somebody know why it doesn't start in FORCE mode ? Do i miss something ? Cheers

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

Some bugs weres currently corrected. e.g. image was rotated with the convert utility, scripts corrections;..

air-v commented 2 years ago

Hi @TheKikGen, You mean the last img on Github is working ? Because i've test it this morning and still not working ... Maybe i need to be more patient... Thans and again .....GREAT JOB for all

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

The last version of IamForce is not yet published. It will be during the week end I suppose.

zotanmew commented 2 years ago

I just tested the latest IamForce version (I saw that you updated the link a few times) and sadly the same issue (force logo but boots into MPC mode) arises :(

zotanmew commented 2 years ago

the journal shows the following (this is an MPC Live 2), maybe this is helpful:

zotanmew commented 2 years ago

If I understand the logs and the config file correctly, the mapping fails because the config doesn't contain the live2 button/led IDs, I'll try to figure those out now

Edit: I think there is a second problem, namely that the midi controller device seems to be named "MPC Live II", which isn't matched by the mpcmapper regex so i'll try fixing that now

Edit 2: Yes, that at least gets me to the force main menu. None of the buttons work yet, but this is progress!

zotanmew commented 2 years ago

Alright, I got it to work! Fixed all the button mappings that i could find. PRs: #31 and https://github.com/TheKikGen/MPC-LiveXplore-bootstrap/pull/3

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

ok ! You mean this is working on a LIVE 2 ! If yes, could you post a photo on the FB group ?

Best point to start is to copy paste the MPC LIVE example (Map_LIVE_FORCE_ButtonsLeds section), and rename the section to Map_LIVE2_FORCE_ButtonsLeds Live and Live2 are close enough.

Yep, I got it working! I don't have FB, I'll upload a picture here in a moment. To get it working I had to modify the regex in the mpcmapper library, see #31

There we go: IMG_3163

air-v commented 2 years ago

Hello Zotanmew, Very promising. I still have the same pb as beginning with MPC One, starting with LOGO screen and back to MPC soft. I certainly should setup the conf file myself. How did you get the your live2 button/led IDs list ? i'll do it to my MPC One. Regards Herve

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

Note : the 220217 version if the iamforce had a bug in the configuration file parser. Download the last correction on the homepage of the site and test again.

air-v commented 2 years ago

Hello @TheKikGen , Try this morning with last iamforce img (only) .... Boot on nice KIKGEN Labs video but back on MPC file Menu and MPC soft. Do i need to upgrade firmware too ? Thx

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

It is linked with the MPC One driver name (exactly the same issue as Laura). I'm on the patch now !

I think the last part of aconnect reveal some weird issue specialy with client 20, client 134:0 and 134:2, except if name is not important.

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

FYI, issue is corrected for MPC One and Live II. I'm posting updates img on the github site. All was linked with the regex pattern that didn"t take into account different driver names structure.

air-v commented 2 years ago

GREAT NEWS @TheKikGen. Did we need to reapply FW update + IAMFORCE or only IAMFORCE Img is enough ? Thx

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

Firmware did'nt change at all since 15 days (and changes were very small things).
But maybe better to upate again, just to be sure. You can do that with the iamforce sdcard image. I put MPC and Force last ssh firmwares at the root directory, so you can use the "usb" update mode.

TheKikGen commented 2 years ago

Updates are online.

Hello @TheKikGen , Sorry but the folder is empty at this time. I'll retry this afternoon Cheers

SHIFT_ can be used both for src button or dest button in the mapping section Pads are not remapable. Shift + a left pad on a row = launch row Press and hold a bank key : Show mutes / solo / rec am / stop clip on the first line of pad. For example to solo track 2, hold bank B, then presse pad 2 on the first line . The current quadran is shown at the bottom rigth (current = wite pad ) when you hold a bank key. To change the current quadran , hold shift + one of the 4 quadrans .

Concerning the mapping file :

You must defines all buttonsLed . For example, the Force buttons are defined in the following section :

[FORCE_ButtonsLeds]
NAVIGATE=0
KNOBS=1
MENU=2
MATRIX=3
NOTE=4
MASTER=5
CLIP=9
MIXER=11
(...)

The declaration format is : (name of the button)=midi value for the button You can find midi value with amidi by dumping the "Private". The mpc application must be stopped.

90 34 7F
90 34 00

When you press a button, amidi dumps the corresponding midi message (in hexadecimal). In the example above, I press the button Main.

90 means : button
34 means : code for Main
7F,00 means : pressed / released.

If you need to declare this button for the One, you will do the following :

[ONE_ButtonsLeds]
MAIN=52

52 beeing the decimal value of 0x34, or :

[ONE_ButtonsLeds]
MAIN=0x34

if you prefer hexadecimal value.

Then you need a mapping section beetwin your One and the Force. Here you set what One button will be mapped to what Force button.

Hi @TheKikGen , I've start to check Button function list to assign and all MPC Live CC are same on ONE too, some buttons are not actually setup and can be used. First step i need to learn Akai Force concept (thx youtube) to find what function i can assign. Second Step: A removable paper or plastic sheet template will certainly usefull to switch mode to mode . But mainly first impression is that the KIKPAD with modded firmware is required to using the matrix mode and add some more controllers for live using better easily than the 16 pads on the MPC ONE. By chance, I've got one, so let's go to flash it and try.

Thx

Hello. As of now feb 26 img still has this issue TKGL_DOER="playlogo" TKGL_DOER+= iamforce Unfortunately editing files within ext4 filesystem proved to be non-trivial for me (win/mac). I suggest copying full repository as zip (maybe I'm too noob for github, who knows?). There are some other issues I have with MPC live mk1 in Iamforce mode.

  1. After 'play start' I cannot go back to regular clip mode. What if I hit this button in a live show, and cannot go back to clips. Not really good
  2. How to delete tracks? Seems like some buttons are missing for this function.
  3. Is there a way to emulate crossfader? External ctrl would do just fine, but it seems there's no way to map crossfader to external midi controller

I'm very close to perfect live system! Last time I was that excited for sm pro v-machine, which I made run 4 samplelord instances with each part playing its stem.

Hello Potreba, 1 - Try pressing the NEXT SEQ button and you will return to Launch mode. The PLAY START button is not used to launch the sequence but to switch to chromatic keyboard/drums mode

2 - Currently you cannot delete a track. To delete a track, it would be necessary to have access to the column selection button (which is at the bottom on an Akai Force) and this has not yet been implemented on our MPC. @TheKikGen is working on Novation Pad mapping for iamForce...and we should definitely have that option. I don't know if the KIKPAD will also be implemented, it could be cool too because this controller has more possibilities than the novation, I think of the potentiometer which could be quite useful).

3 - For the crossfader, I think an external potentiometer can be used, or maybe one of the 4 pots on the MPC will be assignable. Especially if you use the KIKPAD pots.

Hope it help

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I'm using LIVE mk1 btw, it makes a bit of difference , because buttons are different. So, here is my .conf file I've remaped a bunch of buttons, you really have to invest your time into UIing your MPC into FORCE. For example I use +/- as up/down arrows and PLAYSTART as launch 1 scene. These buttons are really close, so I need to push two fingers to launch next scene (I don't think you can do that on force btw), also I've remapped track select and other buttons. Few bugs are still present: sometimes led feedback gets stuck and no TAP blinking, pads not updating colors etc, really annoying. I think its related to 'SHIFT' (maybe), and also 16 pads do not allow for chromatic note mapping (as force/push relies on 5 note spread). `##################################################
