Hi,
I use a Roland SPD-SX Percussion Multipad to control UVI’s Percussion Factory vst inside UVI Workstation. PercFactory is set up that certain midi notes play one of 8 single loops (C2-C3), or all loops (C4) together.
I built a rackspace with a panel representing the nine pads on the SPD-SX and assigned each pad to one of the aforementioned midi notes. (Pad widgets controlling the Midi-In block’s NoteOn commands on the plug-in side and Midi-learned the corresponding pads on the SPD-SX).The SPD-SX is set to alternate the state of the midi note with each hit, first hit = NoteOn, second hit = NoteOff.
Everything works as expected when I click the pad widgets with the mouse, but I have to hit the pad on the SPD-SX always twice to activate the widget.
BTW, strangely PercFactory does not respond to normal midi note commands from the SPD-SX pads. Playing the notes on my other midi keyboards works just fine and other plugins, like Gforce’s new DMX drum machine or Cherry Audio’s CR-78 recognize the midi notes coming from the SPD-SX as expected.
Any ideas what might be the reason for that behaviour on the SPD-SX? I tried all midi settings in the SPD-SX. Is there a setting I overlooked in GP? Thanks in advance!
OK, Note On events are treated different from normal CC messages.
Any chance you configure your SPD-SX to send CC messages instead of Note On/Off messages?
The SPD-SX is indeed configured to also send and receive CC and PC messages. I use the CC for the two encoders
I switched off the CC messages, but the widget behaviour is the same. Two hits necessary.
As expected, the encoder widgets did not respond with CC messages turned off.
Set GATE to OFF
When I understand correctly then you activate the pad on SPD-SX and the widget is set to on.
You Press the pad again, then the widget is set to off.
But the widget then stays ON and with the next press it goes off.
The widget should send a Note On message when it goes on and Send a Note Off message when it goes off.
