Where can I read about osci-render control via MIDI? How do I switch a file for rendering using MIDI? #168

In official wiki the MIDI control paragraph is empty.

How do I switch a file for rendering using MIDI, just like the J and K keys do?

Sorry about that! You can send program change messages to change what file is currently being rendered: https://www.recordingblogs.com/wiki/midi-program-change-message

Basically, this works by sending the program number of the file you want to change to, so 1 would be the first file you opened, 2 is the second, etc.

I explain MIDI control in more detail in this video: https://youtu.be/PKVCx7rs_r8

Let me know if you have any more questions!

According to the MIDI specification, it turns out that only 128 files can be used?

I didn't understand, how to associate the sliders in osci-render and the MIDI commands to change, for example, the volume in some channel?

How to do it?

Maybe some standard bindings are used?

Yes, due to MIDI limitations only 128 files can be used.

You need to send MIDI CC messages to control the sliders in osci-render by first clicking the MIDI button next to the slider and then sending the CC message to the channel you want to associate it. That pairs it with that CC channel and any further CC messages are used to change the value of the slider.

It is interactive communication for one controller. But how to assign some MIDI (volume or other) controllers with some osci-render sliders? It is possible?

Anyway, thanks You to your OpenSource project.
