MIDI Map Play button

[harryhaaren]

As reported by Claude via email, the option to MIDI-map the play/stop button would be useful for various live-performance situations. More precisely, I would like to play loops as part of backing track, together with and a real drummer playing with a click. That's why I need the loop to be launched instantaneously.

Just noting this publicly here, and in future if a dev wants to take it on or investigate it, then there's an issue to file work against here.

@georgkrause @coderkun If you have time to test, please try adding the following .ctlr file contents to an existing mapping, and test all works as expected: https://github.com/openAVproductions/openAV-Luppp/commit/f909f1d9fb76d23983642a7d330c8dcfff147bac#diff-08754f0870229da008de9dee88e3755fR6. Currently the notes are mid-C (midi 60) for stop, and 61 (C#) for start again.

The functionality itself works fine, I can start and stop Luppp’s transport with two buttons on my controller (AKAI APC mini).

The only issue I noticed is that the play/stop button on the UI does not change its label: When I stop the transport by clicking on the start/stop button on the UI, the button changes its label from “start” to “stop”. It does not do so when I stop the transport by the controller. Vice versa for starting the transport.

@coderkun thanks for testing & reporting back. Correct - I never added the GUI update code, which is important to keep things in sync. I'll try find some time this week to implement that.

@coderkun if you have time, a quick re-test would be appreciated, it seems to work fine here now :)

[coderkun]

Works well now, @harryhaaren.

I'll merge to master when I find some time later so, thanks for testing again!

@harryhaaren whats the state here?

This is committed to master already, just never closed. Closing now.
