8x8 switches, need to pass range of values on one cc

[monks1975]

Hi, I'm a newbie with the Lemur and am having trouble figuring out of this is possible via the ipad editor.

I want to make an 8x8 matrix of switches, with each switch transmitting a midi cc value of x (remains the same) and a value between 0 and 63 for each switch. All I have so far figured out is that the matrix will transmit different cc for each switch, but not a different value with the same cc. Sorry if my use of the terminology is confusing.

Best,

So you want each switch to transmit on the same CC but different values....First of all, I think you need pads and not switches then.....I mean, if you press a switch and it transmits 4 on CC 21, then there is no need to stay "on".....you 'll have toi switch it off and on again to make it transmit it again.....

Is my assumption correct?

Thanks for the reply.

Well, I'm using a matrix of switches in radio mode, where turning one switch to on switches off the rest. I would like a switch when on to transmit a value dependent on its place in the matrix between 0 and 63 on CC x

It's very possible I'm misunderstanding what switches can do, it was just easier to set up a grid of switches instead of creating 64 independent pads.

It's not for a drum rack, it's to control the virtual patching on the Microkorg, which can be represented with a matrix like structure.

yeah but, you gotta understand, it doesnt transmit messages continuously, it'll transmit only when pressed....in that sense its useless to have switches....You can also have a grid of Pads like you did with switches

Aaaanyways, here's an example...it uses Pads - the last pressed pad is lit and at the press of each pad a value of 0 to 63 (according to the pad) is transmitted on CC (user-defined) and in midi channel Ch (user-defined) on Lemur target 0

Change the expressions shown in the project window with blue values (CC and Ch) to your desired CC number and midi channel

Note: Im not currently at my studio and havent checked if its working correctly in reguards to the midi channel - I dont actually remember the correct way to set it up. If you notice that selecting midi channel 1 results in messages being transmitted in midi channel 2 let me know and I'll fix it

Thank you softcore. I will have a look at it.

It doesn't need to transmit the value continuously, once a switch transmits value x, that changes the virtual patch configuration on the microkorg.

Exactly why pads are more suitable! The switch objects toggles two states (on-off) and its not suitable for sending messages on consequent presses!
