Yeah – I’m going to need to learn to read sysex and get a bit deeper into all this it seems if I want to be able to do a few funky things !
Ok – I’ll check that out.
When I go in and have a look without any synths connected, open the panel dock with the MKS50 panel open, click on the different sliders, nothing changes on those midi values.So I’m guessing you mean, plug it all in, and then tweak the values with the synth connected and read the results of the cc at computer end ?
Can’t remember the exact issue with it – but I didn’t get far into the installation.
Midi cabling is all good on my midex 8 and things seem to be working correctly !
OK – So when I open up the panel back end view, how can I identify the CC assigned to a particular slider ?
Yes !
Witht he BCR connected to the AlphaJuno directly via midi, that works with the basic patch.But what I want to be able to do is map any knob of my choice to a parameter in a CTRLR panel- that in turn will be mapped to whatever the CTRLR panel component is mapped to on the AlphaJuno. This will also enable me to write automation which is very important for me.
I have other synths coming into the equation, so this is beyond the AlphaJuno and I’m trying to get my head around whether this can work or not.
OK – sounds like standalone mode you’re describing.
My hardware controller has assignable knobs.In Ableton, I go into midi assign write mode and I can select an object (fader, variable on a plugin, pan pot etc) and assign the knob to that object. Inside the ctrlr panel when you engage Midi Assign Write mode the variables are not assignable.
The BCR in standalone can do sysex – that’s why I originally bought it – I even bought the skin for it as a full on AlphaJuno controller.
Let’s put Push aside for a sec as that might complicate things.
Consider with the BCR2000.
I’m using a pre-built panel in this case this one : http://ctrlr.org/forums/topic/roland-mks-50-advanced/
Would I need to hack the CTRLR panel to make this work ?
I’m using 5.4.52. Tried to install the most recent stable 5.3.2 and I couldn’t get it to install !
I have it all working for one instance now -impatience is sometimes the mother of at least some solutions.
AlphaJuno users should use the MKS50 panel found in the discussion here:The PG300 Panel doesn’t do the bi-directional, but the MKS50 Panel does – and they’re basically the same synth. As it turns out, very shortly I’ll also have an MKS50 to play with amongst a few other sweet play things.
So for example I’d like to have multiple CTRLR instances running – One for AlphaJuno on Midex A ;Out 2, In 2 , One for MKS50 on Midex A; Out 3, In3. Both synths would be on independent IOs and cables not using any thru’s at all.
