Controllers as an array

[synthetic]

I would like to create a bunch of pads as button controllers. If I set the first controller as #14, they will automatically become 15, 16, 17...

Is there a way to create my own list? Some of the sample libraries I use claim CC numbers already. Thanks.

you just need to set the column and row numbers first. Then type the lowest controller value into the left field.

I don't want them to go 16, 17, 18... I want them to go 16, 18, 19...

this I don't know exactly. Create a Custom MIDI with the desired vector containing all those numbers you want to use, and call them with index numbers.

Controller doesn't appear to accept anything but a number.

Maybe I'm going at this wrong. What's the best way to assign a bunch of buttons to keyboard shortcuts in Cubase? I'm using controllers, but there's a fixed number of those. NRPNs?

[Phil999]

a good way to learn how it is done is to load interfaces from the user library of this forum. Can't help you more at the moment, sorry.

Thanks for your help. I think I'm going to use NRPNs instead. I'm puzzling my way through that now.

NRPN’s can not be used to send keycommand to Cubase. But here is a hint on how to this: http://liine.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f= ... 4202#p2999 Basically Lemur can send keystrokes to the current active window on your DAW.
A cubase control template using the mackie control emulation, plus a generic control and plus the ability tp invoke key commands in cubase

I seem to have it working. I made a Generic Editor in Cubase and I send NRPNs to it. Then in the second field I assign those to Commands.

I'd still like to be able to assign a bunch of pads at once. Right now I'm just doing it one by one. Would be nice to have a group of buttons as a pad with 16 columns and assign them as a group. If you have any suggestions for that then lemme know.

Hi

Heres one possibility perhaps -
It will send 127 on selected CC fior that Pad.
Exclusive operation - only one value sent at a time
Sends 0 on same CC when released.

Within a Pad object I made an expression called pad_CCs = {1,4,6,8} whatever numbers you want . . .
Deselect it and the x value in the project pane they don't send anything
Than a Custom MIDI script, I called it mio (for midi i/o) with the following mapping
Message: Control Change
controller: pad_CCs[firstof(x0] : - No trigger
value: x[firstof(x)] : any
x scale 0-127
Channel 1 : - No trigger
Trigger: : - No trigger

I guess its one way to do what it does - what exactly do you want it to do again . . .

Cheers
