MIDI Kinetics Forum

Here's a question for you Lemur experts. I have a simple template for controlling Cubase and RME Totalmix but I have a problem setting up "radio" switches to control the mixes in Totalmix. Totalmix switching (main, head 1-3) is done via simple midi note commands (62-65). I've set up a multi switch and set it to "radio" so that the display reflects the current selection. The problem is, Lemur sends a constant note on command and Totalmix doesn't like that, it wants to see a note on, and then off. Of course, I can make this work without the "radio" option but I need the visual display (to see what mix I'm listening to). Any ideas of how to make the Lemur switch(es) send note on AND note off messages when in "radio" mode?

Maybe this posts helps: http://liine.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f= ... 50&start=0 But I am not sure if I understood your question right.

PS.: Perhaps it is helpful to look at the send out midi of the multislider object in radio mode using a midi monitor. It always sends out a midi note on for the current activated switch and a midi off for the last activated switch. And when activating a switch the first time after a template is loaded, midi note off messages are send for non activated switches. Pretty slick

Yeah, but I need the "radio" button send a Note on and off command from each button.

Guess that would need some scripting. Attached is a very simple example. It sends out a note on followed by a note off when a switch is activated.

Thanks, that's basically what I have already. The problem is, Totalmix needs a note on followed by a note off, the radio button only sends a note off when the next switch is pressed.

The idea is to use a script that is triggered whenever a switch is pressed. In the script you can send whatever midi messages you need to send.

Thanks, I have yet to figure out how to use script. Apart from the brief examples in the Lemur manual, are there any more resources on Lemur scripting?

Here is a link to some real helpful work shops: http://www.jazzmutant.com/workshop_tutorialslist.php and as they say in the Cubase forum RTFM (please no offense), the last version is a great reference.
Cheers,

Scripting is the best option available. You can also use custom MIDI messages, this is a great tool. Those custom Midi files are relative easy to use and (nearly) self explaining. You may use whichever is convenient for you.
