MIDI Kinetics Forum

hi, so I'm dealing with a persistent problem that keeps coming up for me (and that I've attempted to deal with in the past but failed)


Sending "Pads @colors i i i i ..." messages to a 16*16 Pad object is fine, up until the 256th pad, which will then wrap and display the first pad instead.


Is anyone else seeing this? I'm definitely sending full lists without wrapping, but no dice - it definitely behaves as if my object only takes 255 multicolor values.

Similarly, I am unable to send much by way of multilabel data to the object, either - data beyond 200-some entries gets corrupted, depending on how large each entry is.

weekly bump.

Anybody else seen this? For the life of me I can't remember if this is something user-related or if it's an actual bug. I reckon, since /Pads/light can do 256 values that it might be related to the @ parameters?

Two-week bump...

Hi
Yeah, checked this out via Max and it does go a bit skewy ...
Though internally it is fine, so if you know the colors in advance you can possibly hand the processing off to lemur somehow. Depends on exactly what you are wanting to achieve , there may be a variety of options. . .

I have noticed a few other possible issues and will send a report to support if you haven't ..

yeah man, if you could report this, that'd be great - and if you'd need a test patch for it, do let me know.

Sadly I don't know the colours ahead of time, no, otherwise that could have been a temporary workaround.

I guess a temporary workaround might be had using midi/sysex perhaps. . .
Or some way to constrain colours a bit so they are 'known' easier l .
Just thoughts of the top . . .
