change midiMessageType of a modulator in LUA

[atom]

Can you give me a scenario where i can reproduce this ? It looks like MIDI device settings are saved for me.

Also try to avoid calling panel:getModulatorByName() at runtime, this is the biggest mistake people make, in situation where you have hundreds or thousands of modulators in the panel (those static ones count too) Ctrlr needs to go through the table to find the one you want.

If you are done with designing your panel you can type somewhere in the init method for a panel

OK, this seems like really good advice, so I have given it a go. But now I am getting “Callback errors” on panel launch. Seems that the other methods are not aware of the ‘init method’ and are giving “nil values”.

Init is in the ‘Called when the panel has finished loading’ panel field and goes like this (shortened for this example):

function init()
	AftertouchEnv1toDCO = panel:getCombo("Aftertouch Env 1 to DCO")
	AftertouchLFO1toDCO = panel:getCombo("Aftertouch LFO 1 to DCO")
	AllSoundOff = panel:getButton("All Sound Off")
	BankDisplay = panel:getLCDLabel("Bank Display")
	Env1Attack = panel:getSlider("Env 1 Attack")
	PitchBendtoDCOPitch = panel:getCombo("Pitch Bend to DCO Pitch")
end

One of the methods that fails is this:

benderDCOpitchMessage = function(mod, value)

	comboValue = PitchBendtoDCOPitch:getModulatorValue()

	if comboValue == 00 then
		mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x00, 0xF7})
		panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)

	elseif comboValue == 01 then
		mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x20, 0xF7})
		panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)

	elseif comboValue == 02 then
		mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x40, 0xF7})
		panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)

	elseif comboValue == 03 then
		mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x60, 0xF7})
		panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)

	end

end

I also tried:
comboValue = PitchBendtoDCOPitch:getProperty()

Hi Hecticcc, I have this variable in a Method I am using (written by Atom).

if panel:getRestoreState() == true or panel:getProgramState() == true then
	return
end

This looks very similar to what Msepsis mentioned in the thread you referenced above. It does the job, many thanks for your assistance.

Yeah that should work, but for some reason sometimes it fails for me. That’s why i use a custom variable just to be sure.

Cheers again for pointing me towards this. If I encounter any further problems I may press you for more info on the custom variable : )

Hi all,

just thought I should add this because it fits the topic:

modulator:getMidiMessage() will return nil when the modulatorIsStatic (“Modulator does not react to value changes”) property is set to 1 (“Static”).

Hi
I still don’t know how to set midi property of a modulator via LUA
i want to change midiMessageCtrlrNumber of a button by another modulator
setProperty is not working
Any idea ?

[atom]

Can you show the line of code you use to change the property ?

[zeoka]

Hello Atom ! how are you ?

i just saw in old post here how to do
getMidiMessage() replace getComponent()
sorry
