MIDI Kinetics Forum

Hi Guys,
I would like to use the pads in a multipad object to output an array of NRPN messages to Cubase for key commands.Each pad needs to have a unique value for the "nrpn_lsb_param" as listed below in my script.I am not sure how to convert the value of each pad into a value I can enter into the script.I know this should be easy,but I'm stumped.i have seen the singular multipad example,but can't make headway with it-i fear the scripting is beyond me.Any help appreciated.

here's my NRPN script so far---

decl target=0; // MIDI Target
decl chan = 16; // MIDI Chan

decl nrpn_msb = 99, nrpn_lsb = 98; // NRPN MSB - LSB universal values
decl data_msb = 6, data_lsb = 38; // DATA MSB - LSB universal values

decl nrpn_msb_param = 0; // msb range 0 to 127 defines the parameter MSB
decl nrpn_lsb_param = 0; // lsb range 0 to 127 defines the parameter LSB

decl value; // value of msg sent out,in this case it only needs to be a trigger

value= 127 ; // data nrpn course value
decl null=0; // data nrpn fine value not used left at zero

ctlout(target,nrpn_msb,nrpn_msb_param,chan);
ctlout(target,nrpn_lsb,nrpn_lsb_param,chan);
ctlout(target,data_msb,value,chan);
ctlout(target,data_lsb,null,chan);

Ok,I figured it out.I'm posting this here in case someone else wants to do this.i think my NRPN script is clear.The +1 in the nrpn_lsb_param line can be adjusted in case you need to start the first pad with a higher number.In this example "nrpn_pad.x" is the name of my multipad.

decl nrpn_lsb_param = firstof(nrpn_pad.x)!=sizeof(nrpn_pad.x)?firstof(nrpn_pad.x)+1:0

full script- (on expression x (rising from zero)

decl target=0; // MIDI Target
decl chan = 16; // MIDI Chan

decl nrpn_msb = 99, nrpn_lsb = 98; // NRPN MSB - LSB universal values
decl data_msb = 6, data_lsb = 38; // DATA MSB - LSB universal values

decl nrpn_msb_param = 0; // msb range 0 to 127 defines the parameter
decl nrpn_lsb_param = firstof(nrpn_pad.x)!=sizeof(nrpn_pad.x)?firstof(nrpn_pad.x)+1:0; // lsb range 0 to 127 variable
decl value; // value of msg sent out

value= 127; // value variable set to 127 as trigger or hi
decl null=0; // data nrpn fine value not used left at zero

ctlout(target,nrpn_msb,nrpn_msb_param,chan);
ctlout(target,nrpn_lsb,nrpn_lsb_param,chan);
ctlout(target,data_msb,value,chan);
ctlout(target,data_lsb,null,chan);


Maybe this will help someone else.Thanks to some other threads that had some script examples.

cheers,

So now the problem is that the midi message is not concatenated,so the Cubase generic remote recognizes the last entry sent while in "Learn" mode.Is there a way to concatenate the midi message in Lemur???

By the way,was able to get Arturia synths to work with a fader version of nrpn script non-concatenated as above.The reason I wanted to use NRPN's was to be able to expand my key commands .seeing as I would have no overlap with the standard midi cc's ,or notes required by the generic remote in Cubase.

frustrated.
