macro control via midi protocol type CC and NRPN

[ericmusicstrasbourg]

Bonjour Steve.


First of all thank you for this software. this is the first time that I can create a macro with just a doliprane. I have already tried with other software several boxes were not enough.



I automate the cubase software from steinberg. the number of automation is important. the number of keyboard shortcuts may not be sufficient to recall all functions. a simple solution would be to offer two types of control. the first one that already exists: keyboard shortcuts. but it would be great if we could trigger a macro from a midi change and NRPN midi control. there are 128 at noon. better still, we could control via the midi parameter NRPN 16384 midi shortcut.



This solution would then allow control from a behringer BCR2000 for example all the functions of any software. I have already informed cubase users of this possibility. many are waiting for a hardware control solution. I'll make a little video to show the difference between now and after if CCs and NRPNs are taken into account. I would like to join in a moment the developers of WAVES plugins but also UAD who will be very interested in the physical control interfaces of their software. it could really increase the use of the mini mouse macro and be invaluable.



All the best

Hi Eric,

I love these type of suggestions.

I am not familiar with these terms. What is a 'midi change' and an 'NRPN' midi control?
Is this going to be difficult to code into this application?
Do you have some code I can checkout?

Regards,
Steve.

hi Steeve. sorry I didn't see your message. no it's easy. MIDI musical instrument digital interface.

we could do something like send a change program. then the number between 0 and 127. or send an NRPN. it consists of an MSB and an LSB. it is used for example to select a bank of sound. the change program allows you to use a preset in the default bank. you can also send notes or sysex. the exclusive system is much more complicated but very useful. it starts with F0 and must end with F7. for what I am creating these functions would be very useful. these functions can be useful for music production but also to manage the lighting of a show. you can for example send reminders of presets ...




I made a request for MMM pro but got no response. if you need a test for midi functions i can help you.

I am not a developer I do not know how to develop this but maybe we can find this on the net

Hello,

If you know a way to copy incoming MIDI messages to and from a clipboard there might be something to do?
