Presale Questions-MIDI Capabilities
Posted: 24 Feb 2012 13:10
Hi!
In my search for a truly professional level, configurable MIDI/OSC controller app for the Ipad, I've been finding the field somewhat lacking, to say the least. Lemur appears to be the most capable of the breed and I've been mulling through the manual. So far I'm encouraged, but it also raises questions. On that note.....
1. 14 bit standard MIDI controls. I see that the capability is there to send a 14 bit pitch bend message from a control, but I do not see any facility for configuring other 14 bit continuous controllers. Can I send an MSB/LSB pair like 7/39 for fine level control?
2. System exclusive. Does this support checksums? MSB/LSB variables?
3. To emulate standard DAW control surface hardware with touch sensitive faders, can a momentary switch overlay a fader control so that the following is possible?:
A. Touch the fader->Send fixed message: note on 67 ch 3 vel 127
B. Move the fader->Send cc messages
C. Release the fader->Send fixed message: note on 67 ch 3 vel 0
4. Can a control be created that bangs another control to make it send its current value?
5. Can a control be created that can change the cc message number of another control, or likewise change the note number by a specified value, eg transpose?
6. Can the taper of a control be modified/transformed, ie log, semilog?
7. Is there a radio button, exclusive/or, parameter for multiple controls?
8. What about bank change messages?
That's enough for now, I think....
Thanks for your time!
