Hi
Yes absolutely - Not only different Messages, and MIDI Channels but also different MIDI Targets if you want

Simplest method:
Set up your x variable how you want lets say a Program Change on Channel 1
Now, create a variable in your Pad called x2 - with a value of x - This basically duplicates it . . .
Set up each one the way you want - different message types, data, channels, destinations etc . . .

Middle method :
Set up your x to do what you want as above
Then set up a custom MIDI mapping
Lets make it notes or better still a chord - Enter {48,52,55} for pitch
Velocity = x but lets scale it to 0 to 84 - 84 will be the NoteOn velocity, 0 is Note Off

So now you have a Program Change on Channel 1, a single Note on Channel 2 and a Chord on Channel 3
YOu could also have them to different Targets, the PgmChg goes to a synth you are playing, The Note goes to Live, the Chord to Reaktor . .

Complete Method:
Scripting will allow you to done just about anything - the possibilities are almost endless . . .
Notes, Pressure, CC's, Prg Chg, Pitch Bend, Sysex , RPN/NRPN's, MMC, Timing, etc etc
All being sent to different Channels and Targets, WiFi to the Daemon and/or Wired to Hardware . . .

Hows that for capability

PS. And because we are playing when we want to send it we may as well trigger it externally
We can set up a MIDI In script to use a note or cc sent from the computer, the synth or a footpedal to do it . . .

hi Macizza,

thanks for the responce. Ive got it working. I use it to tripple the Mackie protocol to differend Gost SAC remote systems. I want to use an Ipad for monitor mixes on stage and because Mackie only uses 8 faders and I need 24, I have to use it to go around it to control the F keys so on 3 virtual remotes the same F key.

now I made 7 tab screens. can I hide a button underneed the tab so when i press a tab it triggers a F key command? or an other way to do it???



thanks

Hi
Instead of behind, Put it in front and use a script with the selecttab() function to change tabs
Then you can add what ever other commands/functions to the script to do what you want
This is a work-around until we get some introspection to allow us to actually detect the standard tab changes . . .

Hope that helps
