MIDI Kinetics Forum

Hi All,
Just wanted to share my latest project with the community.

It's a "DAW Controller" template called CMtec StudioONE v1.0 for use with Presonus StudioOne v2 DAW.

Download from the user library: http://liine.net/en/community/user-library/view/204/

It uses the Mackie control protocol (MIDI 0 and 1) and a generic MIDI keyboard (MIDI 2) as interfaces.

This is my first attempt at the Lemur "sdk" so be nice

ToDo:

* tidy up the code and improve the non existing commenting.
* add functionality by the use of mouse/keyboard commands.
* get some more hours actually using it in music production.

edit: updated to v1.1

* Corrected typo on "window control" page.
* Swapped place for "Browse files" and "Browse Pool"

cheers
Christoffer

HI Christoffer!
Good work on your first template! I haven't tried MCU stuff with StudioONE yet, but your template has a useful 16 channel layout that is inviting.
Given you accomplishment with this first template, I look forward to see the designs that you build later.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for sharing, I guess it should to work in other DAW's compatible with Mackie Control protocol right? I will check this out. Looks great, thank you again.

Hi
Very nice design and some excellent code . . .

One comment/question though, I am wondering why you used returning functions for the various color defaults rather than declaring variables (expressions)?
Just wondering, that's all. Thanks for a great contribution to the community . . .

Cheers

Thanks all,

lAntonioBlancal: Yes all main functions should work in Mackie control supported DAW:s but depending on protocol implementation different "buttons" are used for different functions.
Have a look at this chart (StudioONE not included): http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.ph ... l_mappings

Macciza: Regarding the "getColor..." functions, this was to have some kind of flexibility for the coloring (changing color depending on "mode" etc...) but at the moment this functions are a bit "over kill" for it's use I guess

edit: lAntonioBlancal, one more thing. I did a "trick" using channel 3 (not 1) for x at most of the buttons to get rid of button highlighting. This however might not work for all DAW:s as I know that for example Logic only listen to channel 1 for incoming notes (and will therefor not recognize your inputs). Now I know that this probably could be fixed with the use of an output expression (=x) instead of using channel 3 for x.

Small update (to v1.1)

Hey,

THanks for the info! I will check this out.

Hi,

Thanks for making this template. I think it's very good and I am currently using it for my controller for Studio One V2. There are a few things I would like to ask that I don't understand. I bought the application specifically to use this template .

1. Do you have setup instructions within Studio One to make this completely work? I can get the faders to work, but the keyboard doesn't work. I have setup two Mackie Universal (one sends and receives for port 0, a second one does port 1). What do I choose for the midi keyboard that your info says is port 2?

2. Any chance of getting the other automations in there? Touch and Latch are missing, and I usually use Touch more than anything. Or possibly you can help me change the write, to Touch permanently if that is easiest please?

3. I would like to do my midi automation within this template as well which means having some faders for things like Modwheel (CC1), Expression (CC11), Attack (CC22) along with many others. I would really enjoy very much to see one additional tab with say 8-16 faders specifically assignable to midi control parameters.

Is there any chance you might be able to help me out with this if you have time in your schedule please? Thanks again, really enjoy the template!

Great work on this, I do have a question.. I can't seem to get the "Generic Keyboard" to function. Everything works great, but I would love to be able to use this to control pads and keyboard instruments.

Could you elaborate a bit on the MIDI 2 Generic midi keyboard config a bit more?

NVM, I figured it out, just took some playing around with the octave slider.

Hi there , i tested StudioOne template but have problems with mackie controller right
First group of 8 channels is duplicated to second group so instead having 09 to 16 i have channels 01 to 08 again , so seems mackie controller left is duplicated on the right
Where am i wrong ?
Lemur connections :
MIDI 0 midi yoke 1 mackie controller left
MIDI 1 midi yoke 2 mackie controller right

Thanks a lot
