monitoring data from secondary source

Post by auralsculpture » 04 Apr 2015 06:06

I suspect this is more simple than I'm making it, but I'm very much a newbie
I'm modifying the Absynth Faders +XY template. This allows you to map a cc to each of the faders and xys etc. I simply want to put a monitor or a label next to each fader so I can see what it is set to - but I'm stuck - I've missed something.
If someone can post a fix I'll populate and re-upload

Here's the problem......WHAT units will the monitors show?

MIDI values? Thats easy!

The "mapped" parameter? How does Lemur know what is actually being mapped - since, in one preset the fader might be mapped to a filter cut off, next preset the same fader migh tbe mapped to a dry-wet knob or something. How is Lemur supposed to know, and consequently how do we know WHAT to display on that monitor?

...or are you simply wanting to display the mapped CC and its value (in MIDI)?

Yes it's just to see what cc# value the fader is sending. The file you uploaded is good for 1 fader, but if I duplicate it for the second fader, how does it kink?


Monitor for the value is Fader1.x*127 (this one I understand, it looks at the x value of the fader and all I have to do is change Fader1 to Fader2

but this one, Monitor MCC1 x=CC[0] I dont understand where the value is coming from because if I make a MCC2 with the same string it fails

Thanks

Ah see in order to get this you have to ask yourself....How are the configurations (fader mappings) for each fader saved/stored - recalled in the first place.

Now look at the custom expression (array) CC.....it consists of numbers and each number is the 'saved' configuration for each fader.

So , CC[0] is Fader1's CC, CC[1] is Fader2's and so on and so on.

...the same could apply to the Midi channels for each fader....Guess what you would have to type in a monitor to also display the midi channel of each fader....

Ch[0], Ch[1] and so on! ;)
