Ctrlr Menu & LUA

[lfo2vco]

Hi folks,

I am planning making a little MIDI widget in ctrlr, and have been wondering about a specific point regarding the Menu items across the top of the app. I am referring to File, Edit, View, Panel and specifically MIDI.

1) Can I use a modulator to change a value in the MIDI Menu directly or via a LUA script? Fore example select an input device and channel.

2) Can I get the chosen selection of any of the MIDI menu items to display in an uiLabel or uiLCDLabel?

Up front I’m thinking the answer to these is no… but I know there are some very clever programmers on this site so it is always worth checking.

Cheers,
lfo2vco.

Hi lfo2vco,

Maybe this post will help you? (see post by diamondamps)

Multiple MIDI ports?

I also use these to get/set the output channel from a panel uiSlider etc:

panel:setPropertyInt("panelMidiOutputChannelDevice", value)
myChannel=panel:getProperty("panelMidiOutputChannelDevice")

Thank you, I knew there were some bright sparks around here : ~ )

Thanks too :-).

Was looking on how to get the channel so I don’t have to hardcode it.

Saves me a lot of effort.
