Streaming Audio Player: sync track with song selection

Yes, it’s possible. There are two options:

  • Have a gig script send a midi message to the Local GP Port when a song is changed e.g. Song 1 sends CC value 0, Song 2 sends CC value 1 etc. You would have a widget mapped to the Track Number parameter of the Streaming Audio Player, learned to the Local GP Port and this CC. This option won’t account for changing song orders.
  • Option 2 is to use the Song Part properties and define a specific CC value to be sent to the Local GP Port when the song is selected. This is a new feature in GP 4.7 to be able to send the message to the Local GP Port from the Song Part properties. This option has the benefit of always selecting a specific Track, so will work with re-ordering songs.

If you have 127 songs or less, the easiest thing to do is to use the widget scaling to define a Max of 12.7 for the SAFP Track parameter. This means that sending CC value 0 will correspond to track 1, value 1 will correspond to Track 2 etc.
