MIDI ON & OFF Trigger State

[xyz38833883]

Hi,

Can you advise on triggering a button with MIDI On & Off from external MIDI hardware that will update the Button image state On & Off in CTRLR ?

I have a DIY MIDI hardware that I have build to send a MIDI On when press on a Button, and send a MIDI Off when release a button.

But the image in CTRLR can only be ‘On” state. I have issued for release the image to ‘Off’ state.

I have also have Faders that send MIDI CC to CTRLR in-built sliders which works correspondingly when pushing fader up and down. The Image will move accordingly. This is working.

Please advise, Thanks !

Can you be a bit more precise?
This should be straightforward as all synths have On/Off switches…

– what are you sending as message to “On”? Some CC, NRPN, sysex?
– what are you sending to “Off”?

Build an image with 2 frames (one picture for On then one for Off).
Use a uiImageButton modulator.
Value 0 will display first image, value 1 will display the second image

Start your device
Set your Midi connection with the Midi menu
Open Midi monitor window and enable Input and output monitoring
Save, close and re-open your panel
Switch the button on your device then check the midi monitor
Should display the correct messages with values 0 and 1
Maybe you have 0 but then another value which is preventing the display of the second image

Thanks for reply.

Yes, I have tested the device and CTRLR in ‘output input” monitor showing correct values.

The MIDI devices that send a MIDI note is :
Button press = Note on, ch 1, Velocity 127
Button release = Note off, ch 1, Velocity 0

In CTRLR Component Buttons Uibutton Component :
Value for ON state = 1
Value for OFF state = 0
Button values – OFF = 0
ON = 127

As I am using the DIY MIDI device to control lighting software, it uses velocity 0-127.
I have program the DIY MIDI device in arduino that sends direct MIDI DIN output to a USB midi cable to CTRLR software.

I have managed to only turn ‘On’ the Button when Note On is sent.
But did not change to ‘OFF’ when Button is release.
The MIDI device Button is a MX keyboard Button.

In CTRLR I can press the Image Button to send output Note on & Off.

Both CTRLR and MIDI device output is same Note and value when trigger and release.
[Note on] Ch:[1] Val:[127]
[Note off] Ch:[1] Val:[0]

Thanks.
