MIDI-STEP - Xtouch mini - encounting some bugs #240

Closed vcvrackideas closed 3 years ago

vcvrackideas commented 3 years ago

Hi Ben, just bought the best in order to use with midi step and sail as well. The first bug is not even a big deal - after setting relative controls inside mapping software I've got INC and DEC outputs working vice versa, it solves just by switching cables in wrong sail's holes so it's just FYI, little bug. But the second one is biggiest - midi step doesn't recognize encoder after restarting the Rack anymore. Only after relearning same output and get same CC number it's starting working again. Some kind of initialization but in X-touch mode I guess? Cheers

I don't have this controller and can't check myself but MIDI-STEP has not been changed for some time, no one else reported problems. Can you please check the incoming MIDI messages using MIDI-MON?

vcvrackideas commented 3 years ago

ok midi-mon see it and decreasing encoder is 127 or 126 and increasing 1 or 2 or 3 sometimes.

stoermelder commented 3 years ago

Ok, you can try AKAI MPD218 mode which operates with this values but have you set the controller to "Relative 1"? image

vcvrackideas commented 3 years ago

Yep I have set it to Relative 1 as in your manual ;-) AkaiMPD works as expected regarding DEC and INC outs but I don't like it due to very small step sizes, x-touch mode serves that well. Again it's not big issue with INC and DEC. The main one is that for example midi-mon responds on the controller moves well from the beginning but midi-step still needs re-learning to "see" X-touch :-(

OK - just made the video regarding this issue - https://youtu.be/rBIueXlO6PY

Not sure what's going on. I was told that Relative 1 is working the same way as the Arturia Beatstep.
Can you please create three logs with MIDI-MON using the different relative modes?

vcvrackideas commented 3 years ago

Hi Ben sorry for long time no anwer, I created 3 logs and happy to me Relative 2 at least works in right way in terms of INC DEC direction. But the issue with needed relearning encoder each time VCV Rack opens is still persist. Moreover - sometimes when I off VCV Rack window and went to the browsing and then comeback - no reaction from midi controller again, needs to relearn encoder and so on. But MIDI-MON still receives messages anyway anytime so don't know what's goind on with midi step or xtouch. xtouch logs.zip

Ok, thank you for the logs. First of all, it seems I got wrong information in the past about the relative modes of the X-Touch controllers. But I'm not sure about the relearning of the CCs. After I watched again the video you made I noticed that you are mapping CC1 which is duplicate in slots 1 and 2. This does not work so I fixed that when learning a CC which is already assigned. But I'm not convinced yet this fixed your issue.

Yeah thanks, today it was worked with initial preset which is starting from 0 CV. I just used second port and it's allright now, thank you!

I'm closing this. If you have any more issues feel free to respond!
