midiMessageChannel confusion

[Puppeteer]

Hi,

I’m using a combo to set the MIDI channel of a range of controllers on a panel. Most have complex expressions programmed in LUA, but I have some standard MIDI CC sliders as well.

What I want to do is to set the channel override channel to the MIDI Channel value. I’m using this command to try to accomplish this.

panel:getModulatorByName(“Vol”):getComponent():setPropertyInt(“midiMessageChannel”, cntch)

The problem is that there are 2 parameters called midiMessageChannel. The first, and the one I want to change is the 3rd parameter in the MIDI section in the General Pane (when the controller is selected). It’s immediately under the midiMessageChannelOverride parameter (which I have ticked).

The parameter that actually changes is further down the list (5 up from the Component Header), and it has the same name (midiMessageChannel).

The second parameter doesn’t seem to have any effect. Can anyone let me know how I can programmatically change the first midiMessageChannel parameter?

midiMessageChannel is not a component property, is a MIDI property, so when you write panel:getModulatorByName(“Vol”):getComponent():setPropertyInt(“midiMessageChannel”, cntch)

you are creating a new component property called midiMessageChannel.

You should write instead
panel:getModulatorByName(“Vol”):getMidiMessage(0):setPropertyString(“midiMessageChannel”,tostring(cntch))

OK, thanks, that makes sense. I’ll give it a go.

That works fine. Thanks so much.

Will probably have a bunch of questions on MIDI inputs soon…

BTW – how the heck do you work this stuff out? ie how did you find out the getMidiMessage(0) part?

I’m relying on checking other panels and doing forum searches and a bunch of trial and error…

Been here more than 3 years, so I’ve retained something in this time 🙂

As Ctrlr is based on Juce, you must take a look at the Juce API:
