It’s been my experience that it’s a little less fussy, and means you can ensure that rather than having co-mingled communication between applications you can make sure that Touch is acting as the broker of messages. There’s probably a way to do that, but I’d suggest using OSC to send values to your other application. I know that’s a little vague, but here’s a very simple example: This would be a little bit of scripting, but would mean you can control exactly when you change the colors / indicators on your controller. You could set this up with CHOPs or with some executes… probably the best way to handle this to have a set of static output channels in a constant CHOP, then when a specific set of changes happen you use a script to set values for your controller. The idea here is that you need to know exactly the name of the incoming channel from the midi device so you can send a value back to that channel. The idea of the rename CHOP is that it changes the name of the channel from it’s input name to a new name. I have trying a few days to make this work on my own and I feel now a little bit frustrated. I Tried the LFO and Rename option but the truth is I have no idea on how to use the rename chop function and also I have no idea on how I send the message of an specif button in to the LFO + RENAME + MATH + MIDIOUTĢ.- I manage to set all the faders and the buttons from the controller into TD and also I can turn on the dirvese colors of the leds in the main buttons, but now, how do I set the buttons to, for example, if I press one button it turns into one color, and then when I press it again it turns off? or How do I keep them all light up and when I press them again they increase the intensity of the led ligth? or How do I press a button an it turns on while I’m pressing it and when I release it it turns off?ģ.-And, once I make them work, Is it possible to recive that MIDI messages into an external program like MADMAPPER for example with all the LED options working on the device? I can not turn on or of the arrows buttons LED on the left side of the controller. I followed the tutorial but still haven’t being able of doing the next things:ġ. I have a few MIDI controllers I want to use trought TD and I happend to have the Novation Launch Control that kindly Matthew gives an overview on how to set it up in TD. It was pretty awesome but also it was very fast and know I have a lot of things I want to do and I’m not shure how to get there. You mean like Automap? LaunchControl doesn't support Automap, in fact I think Novation is phasing it out.it's about a decade old now so 1000 years old in digital yearsĪre you familiar with how VSTs present parameters to a DAW? In some DAWs like Ableton Live you can view the list directly.So, I recently started using TD, Took a workshop in CDMX with Matthew Ragan and Zoe Sandoval. Automap reads the VST parameter list and assigns each parameter to a control on the Automap device. It can assign controls to buttons that should be assigned to knobs and voice versa. It also assigns them in the porder they are in the list. So if say filter cutoff and resonance are not adjacent in the list, they won't be on adjacent controls. The Automap wrapper can be edited further through a GUI or in a text editor (the template is just text). I have found that you always need to edit the wrapper after it is generated. This is not difficult, but it takes time and needs to be done for each controller you plan to use with each softsynth. I suggest you watch some Novation tutorial videos to see how this works (they do not explore the text editing, though). The VST is the Camel Crusher compressor.Īs you can see, it has 7 knobs and 5 buttons. I used Automap to wrap this for my Nocturn controller which has 8 endless encoders and eight buttons. So this is a simple device that maps easily to the available controls. If I had a few more knobs and buttons, more pages would have been in the file. Here's the file, after editing to taste:Īs you can see, it's written in a simple markup language. Resolume Arena, a 5.5k projector (Optima EH515t) and a slew of MIDI controllers (Akai MidiMix, Novation Launch Control, Novation Launch Control XL. I won't bother to show you the file for u-he Diva which has 17 pages of controls (136 knobs, 136 buttons although not all may be used). If you look at the "Param" fields in the file, it's essentially the same information that you would be providing in the LaunchControl editor. Automap extracted this from the VST, I simply reordered the parameter order to line up properly with the knobs and buttons.simple cut and paste. Automap filled out the ranges of the controls, which in the LaunchControl editor you would enter manually. The empty fields are because the Nocturn has no sliders or encoder butons (i.e. You press down on the encoder) but some Novation controllers do have these.
