Visual Indication of Current Rackspace Variation + Global MIDI Assingments?

Hello, I am using the latest version of Gig Performer on both Mac and Windows

I am trying to create a sort of performance view, so I know what happens when I step on each pedal of my MIDI pedalboard. My bottom Row will be Rackspace Variations

I assumed I could make a widget and have it call the correct variation with the System Actions plugin. While that does switch properly, the Widget button (in this case “Pad Button” or “LED Button” does not stay lit, sort of defeating the purpose of the graphical indicator for me.

I was told this will not work with the System Actions plugin, so I tried by assigning this in Global MIDI but it said the MIDI value I wanted was already assigned and couldn’t be assigned twice globally. When I look in the Global MIDI options, I did “clear all” but it still says that MIDI value is assigned. Where can I see (and/or change) these MIDI values? I cannot see where it assigned

And, how should I switch rackspace variations yet keep the button lit until changed to a different variation?

Try this

Thank you! Still the PC Value in question is also not showing there. I’m getting the warning that it is already in use, yet it isn’t showing in there or in Options/Global MIDI

Can you please post a screenshot of the screens you are using and the message coming up?
By the way: you should not use PC messages for global MIDI mappings.
Did you use PC messages for Variations?

Assuming you get your MIDI assignments sorted, this is an example of using GP Script to provide a nice display of the variation names and which is selected. I thought it might be useful for you.

what message do you want to assign?

In this case Global/Variation direct access, but more importantly I think is I would just like to be able to figure out what is already assigned, here is the other window, and neither shows anything assigned to PC 1

how looks the setlist options in the options window?

What is PC 1?

The MIDI Assignment List shows which MIDI messages (and their respective ports) are mapped to widgets or system controls. Is PC 1 a MIDI interface?

Please screen shot and show the MIDI Ports section of options

Program Change 1, that’s the one its claiming is already assigned

That is not a MIDI port

Im saying PC1 is a Program Change 1 message. It is the Program Change message in conflict in the error screenshot I sent

It means that you already have a rackspace variation or a SongPart associated with that PC number.

Note that if you don’t explicitly assign PC numbers to variations or songparts, they default to 0,1, 2, 3, etc
