hey ,
obviously nobody wants to help although i purchased mt pro and would like to get some support.
i need that programm workes for my job. ok.

so i'm trying so get the local variable and global variable stuff going so please help me to understand that!

maybe achieving that with little steps.

intention:

i want to create a translator for a linked fader setup.
e.g.
1.fader one - incoming b0 00 pp and outgoing 90 00 pp
2.fader two - incoming b0 01 pp and outgoing 90 01 pp

so the translator would with my knowledge look like this:

Translator 1: Fader 1
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 00 pp
Outgoing: MIDI 90 00 pp

Translator 2: Fader 2
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 01 pp
Outgoing: MIDI 90 01 pp


the linked Translator with its 4 possibilities like this:
Translator 1: Fader 1 - 1
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 00 pp
Outgoing: MIDI 90 00 pp

Translator 2: Fader 1 - 2
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 00 pp
Outgoing: MIDI 90 01 pp

Translator 3: Fader 2 - 2
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 01 pp
Outgoing: MIDI 90 01 pp

Translator 4: Fader 2 - 1
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 01 pp
Outgoing: MIDI 90 00 pp

now i want to trigger that "linked Translator" via an incomming CC value:

b0 02 pp

does it shoul look like this?

Translator 1: Trigger on
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 02 pp
Rules:
if pp==127 then exit rules, execute Outgoing Action
if pp!=127 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action
Outgoing: activate preset "Fader 1 -2 linked"

Translator 2: Trigger off
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI b0 02 pp
Rules:
if pp==127 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action
if pp!=127 then exit rules, execute Outgoing Action
Outgoing: deactivate preset "Fader 1 -2 linked"


and therefor...do i have to setup a global variable like ga?
cause this input button should only work for this presets.

if yes, how to set correctly?

thanks in advance

Dude, you do realise that people are busy, don't you? If you want help, then perhaps you should allow more than one day after your request for help!

hey, don't mind;)
i guess you are right, but time is slipping away.
i do need a running system in a couple of weeks and a lot programming.

some messages on how to get into it more closer would be very kind.

thanks

Hi JayHH,

what do you mean with linked fader setup? Don´t understand that :)

What I see is :

- Fader 1-1 and Fader 1-2 are reacting on the same Midi In message, do you want that?

- Trigger on / Trigger off seems to be right, they activate/deactivate a preset. Then the translators inside this preset will work/not work. You have to be sure, that the translators inside the preset are the ones you will activate/deactivate.

Please use the Log Window. There you will see more.

Best regards,
Rüdi

hey ruediger,

the last days i didn't spent time on that translator but actually i'd like to:

over my behringer bcf2000 fadersection there are some buttons that can be pushed.

i'd like to push them, meaning that the fader below is selected.
the selected faders should now be linked.

BUT....faders could have different levels so that when moving any of the linked fader the others should follow the amount the one i move.

understand that? ;)

(actuelly the real behavour off e.g. a digital soundconsole with motorfaders)


i would appreciate ideas.

thanks a lot

Hi,

ok, I think I know what you mean. You have to send midi messages back to your bcf2000, that the linked faders also move? Then you have to use Midi Translator 1.7. With multiple midi ports you can achieve that. Find out what kid of midi messages you rcontroller reacts on and then develop a Preset.

Cheers,
Rüdi
