Custom ManyButtonsSelector - Sub banks

[wayna]

Hello,

The midi controller i'm trying to build will be used control a lighting software. In this software there are six parameters pages which can be called with midi buttons. Each parameter page has N tabs, switching from one tab to another is done by pressing multiple times the same button (the same midi message is needed) Each tab contains four parameters, controlled by 4 encoders, so when i switch from on tab to another the encoders must have a different adress, or channel

What i would like to do is adapting the controller behaviour to fit to the software behaviour.

For the example, with 3 parameters, 3 tabs by parameter, and one encoder: Button 1: Page "Color" - 3 tabs 1 press -> Opens parameter page "Color" - tab 1 -> Encoder channel 1 2 press -> Opens parameter page "Color" - tab 2 -> Encoder channel 2 3 press -> Opens parameter page "Color" - tab 3 -> Encoder channel 3

Button 2: Page "Focus" - 2 tabs 1 press -> Opens parameter page "Focus" - tab 1 -> Encoder channel 4 2 press -> Opens parameter page "Focus" - tab 2 -> Encoder channel 5

Button 3: Page "Image" - 4 tabs 1 press -> Opens parameter page "Image" - tab 1 -> Encoder channel 6 2 press -> Opens parameter page "Image" - tab 2 -> Encoder channel 7 3 press -> Opens parameter page "Image" - tab 3 -> Encoder channel 8 4 press -> Opens parameter page "Image" - tab 4 -> Encoder channel 9

Each button acts like a switch selector wrapped -> Loops through N tabs When i press a button, then another, i recall the last viewed tab of the corresponding button.

I thought about 2 ways to do this:

• Bankable Encoder affected to multiple banks (like in this example, 3 banks with 3 switch selectors), is that doable?
• Create a custom ManyButtons Selector: If i figure it out right, i'd need to create a custom selector based on ManyButtonsSelector.hpp the same way you did in your Custom-MIDI-Sender.ino sketch, am i right?

What would you think would be the best approach? Many Thanks

Bankable Encoder affected to multiple banks (like in this example, 3 banks with 3 switch selectors), is that doable?

This should be possible, but only if each of the sub-banks has the same number of banks, which is not the case in your example.

Create a custom ManyButtons Selector: If i figure it out right, i'd need to create a custom selector based on ManyButtonsSelector.hpp the same way you did in your Custom-MIDI-Sender.ino sketch, am i right?

I think that would be the easiest ans most flexible approach.

Okay thanks for the feedback.

I will try to create a custom selector then.
