Program Change from Lemur to Ableton

Post by somababa »

Hi out there,
does anyone know any tricks to getting Lemur to make program or bank changes in Ableton, particularly to Papen's Predator or Sub boom Bass? I cannot seem to get it to work...
Thanks for your help

Thanks for that. I did get it to work.

since you were so quick to reply.... how about a knob that creates the program change instead of the key pad?

Thanks again!

Gotta warn ya.....Its not practical....there's no way to move one by one unless the knob is one huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge knob. Also, most VST synths dont react particularly well to program change messages being fired at them with great speed so instead of automatically send the Prog Change message efverytime the knob is moved, we will still be needing a "send" button.

Doesn't the Knob object now have a z parameter? (the manual doesn't show it, but looking through the .jzml of an old script I see a z for knob)
If so, use an On Expression script when z goes from 1 to 0 to trigger the send back. I do this for faders (especially when sending Program Change commands) because the older synths can't cope with a fast stream of program changes. I display the potential new value in Lemur, but only send when the finger is lifted up.
