Momentary Button into Latch - Bome Forums Archive 2005

Hey guys,

I'm working with the novation launchkey 49 and I've noticed that when not in incontrol the track activator buttons on the mixer section are momentary. I was hoping to create a rule for these buttons as to turn them into latching buttons so I can assign to specific track activators for a live session.

Unfortunately I'm a little new to bome's mid translator and was hoping I could get a little help with writing the rule for this functionality.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hi Studio-ettikit

Turning a momentary button into a toggle switch is easy, but it depends on the message that is being sent.

What you want to do is use a translator that will cut out the "off" message and switch it to the second press of the button. It would look something like:

Code: Select all

Translator 1: Momentary to Toggle
Incoming Message: 90 30 7F
Rules: g0=g0+1
if g0>1 then g0=0
if pp=g0*127
Outgoing Message: 90 30 pp

This way, on the first press your outgoing message is 127 (1*127) and the second press is 0 (0*127). Since you don't process the outgoing 00 it should be ignored.

Does that make sense?
