  • 1.  MIDI Control with Dashboard

    Posted 08-14-2024 21:03

    How can I set up a midi device and custom panel so that noteon events and continuous controllers can trigger buttons and adjust parameter values?

    Once I have that working, how can I set noteon events ('buttons') and continuous controllers to trigger button presses and/or value changes on a Carbonite panel?

    I've tried adding the devices and putting them in the custom panel both directly and as a device class but I feel like there's something I'm missing to make everything tie together.  Even entering OIDs by number I can't seem to make things trigger/change.  

    Thank you!

    Hi Eric, 

    I assume you've added the MIDI device into the Dashboard tree and then included it in the device <context/> of a custom panel.

    From there you should be able to link params created in the panel to the controller.

    I simple way is to add the midi controllers to the panel using the params button, then setValue() for the parameters you want to control. You can hide the midi controls in the panel after linked to tidy up the panel.

    Here is a quick example I've created although with game controller added to Dashboard tree instead. The game controller won't appear on your side when you open this panel, but you can inspect the link in the controller input to see how they update.

    Feel free to copy your code in here using "insert/edit code sample" button.

    Thank you Richard,

    I had to go through a few tries to get the names and mappings right but I now do have a value showing on my custom panel from a continuous control and that value then driving a 'local' parameter.  It looks like I was missing some of the required names and contextid references in the param tag.  I think this has me headed in the right direction to work on buttons from notes and then triggering/setting other OIDs (for carbonite control).
