Beatstep Pro: Documentation incomplete (Midi channel setup) #71

Closed kash74 closed 6 years ago

kash74 commented 6 years ago

Hi Moss,

I am desperately trying to use the BSP controller. I grabbed the latest version (13.05.2018) and loaded the template into project 16 (via Midi Control Center). The MIDI monitor within the control center confirms that I did it right - it shows CC50 for sequencer step 1, CC51 for step 2 etc (as defined in BeatstepControlSurface).

BWS (v2.3.4) recognizes the controller, but regardless of what pad I hit or what knob I turn on the BSP - nothing happens (eg step 12 does not toggle the metronome etc).

Am I missing something here or is the extension possibly broken?

Update It seems that the extension requires that the BSP control mode midi channel is set to channel 2 (should be mentioned in the installation instructions). However, changed to channel 2 doesn't help.

Update Ok, solved, I ran into a off-by-one :) The extension expects the control mode to send on channel 3. The fixed channel setup (1=seq, 2=seq, 3=ctrl, 10=drums) should really be documented in the installation instructions and the manual.

Sorry, for that. I thought this was the default, maybe it was changed in the editor. The WIki is updated accordingly.
