Open Interface via Midi Program Change

Post by Gass n Klang »

Hey guys,
I'd like to open an Interface when receiving a dedicated Program Change. How to do that?

well I thought I got it. One thing: I tried the "selectinterface" command. Is there a chance to select an interface by triggering the NAME of the interface? Let's say we have three interfaces A, B and C. Is it possible to select interface "C" or do I have to select interface "3"?
Background of that question: I want my laptop to open the right interface on Lemur. Each interface will be a song called by the songname. If I've got Song A and C it will be interface 1 and 2. But if later comes song B to the set, song C now will be interface 3. So my laptop will load the wrong interface. Loading the names instead of the numbers would prevent that problem.

come on guys is that really not possible? All I wanna do is to assign an incoming Program Change to a specific interface and not just to the third or fourth interface in alphabetical order.

Maybe this solves your problem. It's not the best, but it's something *insert meme here*.

The project has an expression with all the song names, sorted by interface order. This expression is filled in the fillSongnames Script. Then there's a script that excepts a song name and then checks every songname in the expression to see a matching one. When the script finds a match, it's switches to that interface.

You'd still have to add a new song name to the expression every time but besides that it should run w/o troubles.

*Reminder: because it's using a for-loop, the speed of the function will descent with the number of songs. And that all depends on the rest of your template;)
