any news?

atom, Ctrlr is a gem, I hope you can make it shine.

+1 for mac updates, not sure how you feel about it at this point.

Ah, that’s too bad. So much potential! Thanks for the info.

fundorin — would you allow me to see your OSC2 panel? I’m trying to understand OSC for Ctrlr (to use with Plogue Bidule).

[jersmi]

Ah I just found your DSI Pro2 panel. Wonderful!

[jersmi]

Did you try that?

No but I will now. Can you recommend any panels or references I can dig through for some basics like this?

Ps. THANK YOU for putting together that step by step guide.

Thanks for your reply.

I am having general issues with UIImageButton getting midi back and forth with my host (Plogue Bidule).

I want to use UIImageButton to send a trigger with a mouse down (as opposed to a gate). If you could help me understand this I would appreciate it.

(Apologies for the following long post on general issues I am having. I’m a newb.)

I’m on MacOS 10.12.2
Ctrlr version 5.3.163 (reverted because of image resource menu not loading issue).

Currently with UIImageButtons I only get Ctrlr to send CC value 1 and 0 (ON and OFF respectively), so I am using expressions:
modulatorValue*127 (for output)
midiValue/127 (for input)

I tried button values
OFF=0
ON=127

but I was having problems.

I first tried UIButton, but these appear stuck in OFF state, not sending midi (though color will change, this problem also in atom’s complex expressions demo — button values say OFF and ON, but only show OFF when clicked, and appear to not send the ON value).

What’s the best way to get buttons stable and running? Is UIImageButton unreliable? Do I need to script these? I’ve been trying a setup first with no scripting, to learn and see how far I get. I’m not a programmer, but I am happy to try, copy/paste and learn as I go, as I see how others have done here.

(Also confusing behavior using UIImageButton with radio buttons, too — “off” midi output is weird for the buttons (where do I set radio “off” messages?).

Thanks for any help or guidance you can offer.

I’d love to support this.

atom, I’d love to know your feelings about this (and any news about current state of Ctrlr dev). I appreciate that you are the sole proprietor of Ctrlr. Ctrlr is awesome!

Newb here. I also expected the imageButton ‘momentary’ setting to behave as Stoner suggested…. I’m confused — what’s the difference between this behavior and a toggle? Also, mouse down changes the image state (turns on), but it sends the value with mouse up.

At any rate, I’m looking for a trigger behavior, send a value with mouse down for a duration of one sample when button is pressed, followed by 0’s.

EDIT: I guess atom is saying the momentary is supposed to work like a gate (not Note On and Note Off triggers), sending a continuous value when the button is pressed. If so, what is it supposed to send when released? Also continuous values with the down “off” state?
