Hey out there,

I want to use the Lemur-App on my iPad for controlling Brainspawn Forte.
I'm wondering, if it's possible, to see the names of my channels / racks I have in forte in a surfaceLCD in Lemur.
What kind of informations does the surfaceLCD needs to show those parameters?

Thanks,
Chris
As far as I know the surface LCD is tightly coupled to the Mackie protocol (correct me if I'm wrong).
The surface LCD is update by SYSEX data sent from the host.
If Forte can be controlled by a Mackie Control there is a good chance that Lemur can too.

Which template did you use?
Did the faders work?
If they did and you're not seeing track names it could be that your midi-port is not transferring SYSEX messages. What midi interface are you using?

Midi Yoke works fine when connecting from Cubase to Lemur (Over the Mackie protocol) displaying the track names as far as I've tested.
You could try to monitor midi messages to see if any SYSEX data is sent from Forte to the Lemur.
I've got the confirmation, that forte does not support, what I want to do....

I added to their wishlist...

Thanks anyway!

Another thing: I'm not really familiar with programming code. So is there a site with a few examples so that I see, whats possible with lemur?
I downloaded the MachineDrum-Map from the forum and did not know, that it is possible, to create a scrollbar, which is really helpful!

Don't know. I'm all new myself :)
