I have a new keyboard controller that I am setting up and… head scratching at the moment because some very odd things seem to be hard coded in this controller in terms of CC values being set out.
This is a multi-part problem.
Most of the controls I care about mapping send unique CC values however, several controls I would like to use send three simultaneous values out (according to GP Midi Monitor) and all these controls in question send the same three values out!
Here’s an example… a foot switch is pressed and GP receives these values:
- CC 99 Non-registered parameter (coarse): 1 Channel 1
- CC 98 Non-registered parameter (fine): 9 Channel 1
- CC 6 Data Entry (coarse): 0-1 Channel 1 (toggles between 0 and 1 values)
Since the first two CC options have static value outputs, meaning no matter how many times i press the foot switch they still produce the same “1 Channel 1”… they wouldn’t help me toggle a switch. I would assume.
Another knob I’d like to use sends this value out:
- CC 99 Non-registered parameter (coarse): 2 Channel 1
- CC 98 Non-registered parameter (fine): 10 Channel 1
- CC 6 Data Entry (coarse): 0-127 Channel 1
Again in this example the first two messages are static and the third is dynamic but as you can see, the third value being sent is the same CC number as the value being transmitted for the foot pedal!
Let’s stop there and ask the obvious first question… is there any way to use any of these controls, even just one of them (the footpedal) without other controls causing chaos?
Second question… with CC 6 outputting values of just 0 and 1… i’m going to have to draw a rather precise graph to make 0< =127, correct?
Third question… with Rig Manager, I am trying to learn an existing midi control alias to the foot pedal but Rig Manager seems to only want to learn CC 98, not CC 6. Is there a way to force a value upon a midi control alias?
Thanks in advance for the insight.
