hallo!

i'd like my ipad to send a given CC midi out, each time i switch from one interface to another (using the grey tabs in the upper part of the ipad).
this way each interface would recall in my ableton live set a different device that i am going to control.

i googled and read the manual, but after two days, i didn't find it.

thanks a lot in advance.

hey,

should be possible using the built-in current_interface function

Have you tried with that?

Cheers,

What Antonio said actually!

here's an example, assuming 4 tabs......I think it will be easy to expand it to how many you want

The CC each selected interface sends, and on what midi channel are all defined globally (look at TabsCC and TabsCh custom expressions)

wau! that's fantastic. thank you very much!
i really appreciate it.

is it possible to do the same, but when you change the tab of a container??
i tried myself modifying what you sent to me, but no luck yet.

yes it IS POSSIBLE but indirectly - by using something OTHER than the container tab buttons themselves to select tabs of a container....

Here is an example with many possible approaches.......

thanks for your reply. i had already took a look to that project, but i thought there was a was to do it using the tab button itself... well, it looks a little bit more tricky though.

Nope there is no direct way but you can easily make the size of the buttons which control the container tab to look as if they are the native container ones - and hide the native ones.
