I need a way to send 4 non standard midi messages using one knob or combo box

[memorysplice]

I have these 5 messages that control the fx on the synth that I am coding a panel for.

How do I create a knob or combo box to transmit the message to change the fx type.

[goodweather]

Do you want to send all at once or each separately (for example having a button setting the value of each effect)?
I have the latter on my Pro 2…
Let me know and I explain you any of the option. Rather easy in fact… 🙂

[memorysplice]

I am wanting to send them separately. Think a knob or a switch that goes from fx1, fx2, fx3, fx4 and bypass.

[goodweather]

Then I see 2 options…

• create a uiImageSlider (if for example each effect can go from 0 to 127 or 255 or whatever) or a uiImageButton (if you prefer a switch)
• Option 1: create a “OnChange” method that you will attach to the “Called when modulator change” property. In that method you will insert the following code:

  mbTemp= MemoryBlock ({0xF0, 0x01, 0x2C, 0x03}) -- Replace this with the first part of your sysex
  mbTemp:append(value) -- add this at the right position if the value is changing when you turn the knob
  mbTemp:append({0xF0, 0x01, 0x2C, 0x03}) -- Replace this with the end of your sysex
  panel:sendMidiMessageNow(CtrlrMidiMessage(mbTemp)) -- To send to your synth

• Option 2 (didn’t test this myself – search on the forum for example): at modulator level you can enter a sysex string in the Midi – Sysex formula property. I suppose there is a way to specific that one digit should be the current value of the modulator…

Good luck…

You can also build your message as:

msg = string.format("F0 01 2C 06 F7")
panel:sendMidiMessageNow(CtrlrMidiMessage(msg))
