Can Lemur display a list based on OSC string input?
Posted: 24 Dec 2016 02:01
I'd just like to run this up the flagpole to see if it's even possible before dedicating the next 6 months to it.
I'd like to make an interface that takes a track name reported from the host and populates a list with specific values based on the track name reported. I haven't dug into Lemur programming, si if it is indeed possible I'd love to be pointed in the general vicinity of where to start.
Background (the long version):
I use a large orchestral template in Reaper which sends MIDI to a large Bidule stand-alone hosting many instances of Kontakt. I have a nice Lemur interface that allows me to navigate to various sections of the template in Reaper and displays the current track on my device. Many of the instruments that I use are keyswitched and I have about 50 different keyswitch layouts that I have to either remember or look up when I'm using the instrument. I'd like to have a Lemur layout that would take the track name reported from Reaper and use it to populate a group of buttons with the keyswitch title and change the MIDI output of those buttons to reflect the instrument keyswitches. Keyswitches are always sequential, so only the first button would need to be populated by the list and the others could be extrapolated from it.
