The plugin translates midi nrpn messages generated by a studiomix into cc and/or note on/off messages.
First you have to take care of midi messages coning into the plugin. If that is the case
the faders, knobs and buttons are chancing value. If you have that working you’re half way.
Then you have to think about who each fader knob and buttons has to operate.
Rotaries:
Let's take the upper rotary of channel one. first select the midi channel you want to use for sending
the midi messages on by selecting 1 to 16 with the value selector left above this rotary. when you
have done this select the midi cc number you want to use for sending the value which represented by
the rotary position (=value). So when you select midi channel 1 and cc 7 you can use that rotary for
controlling the volume of a midi device which response on midi channel 1.
Faders:
Work the same as rotaries.
Buttons:
They work different because a button, in addition to the cc messages of the faders and rotaries,
also can be configured to send note on/off messages. Next to that you have to understand that a button
can remember it state or not. In other words: in the first case a button will stay pushed when
pressed and you have to push to press it again or it's pressed when you push the button down but when
you let go of the button it goes back to it's unpressed (off/up state). Midi channel works the same.
But to let a buttons send a cc message you have to select 'c' with the selector placed under a button.
if you want the button to send note on/off messages you have to select a 'N' value. Now what last is
to explain how you can choose of an button remembers it state as explained above. That done by select
a 'white' or 'black' value of 'CC' or 'N'. Selecting midi channel 2, value 60 and a 'white' 'N'
means this button will send a Note On note of the value C and when pressed an until you press this
button again it will the Midi channel 2 'C' Note off message.
Outer and Inner jog:
The jogs are bit more complicated but functionally a 100% copy of who studiomixmap is doing this (way
change a good idea). The three selectors to the top of the jogs are from left to right: Midi channel,
CC or Note and a selector (that doesn't work yet) for configuring the delay between the messages send
when the outer jog is hold into in one of his 14 positions other then zero.
Outer Jog specific:
The three selectors which are placed just above the jogs are representing the CC or Note number of the
outer rotary for the to the left, neutral and to the right positions of this outer jog. The 2 times 7
selectors which are placed to left and to the right of the outer jog are specifying:
- which value in case of CC selected this message has
- which velocity in case of Note On-Off selected this message has.
Inner Jog Specific:
The two selectors under the jogs are representing the CC or Note number of the inner jog. The left one
for rotations the left en the right for rotation to the right. The values placed under those two are
specifying:
- which value in case of CC selected this message has
- which velocity in case of Note On-Off selected this message has.
I hope everything is a bit more clear now. Rethinking my baby convinced me that it's a bit more
complicated then I assumed until now. Please look at the StudioMixMap application for the jogs
functionality or just ask for more help. Also get to know the midi standards because it's the
language that your toys use when they talk music or rubbish ;)
