Launchpad simulate CC hold (toggle mode)
Hello!
Have some problems with making Launchpad to send continuously CC messages to my DAW - to make pads work in "toggle" mode.
Is there some kind of "sustain" mode for CC messages, may be special object or elegant solution for that?
Thank you in advance!
I have no idea what you're talking about...
is it like the "sliders" mode you get with ableton Live? Or do you want the pads to act as individual toggles? Is that what you mean by "sustain mode"?
You'll need to describe this a lot more, but what I *can* tell you is that there are no "objects" for that type of thing - you're looking for something that is very close to the core of Max; old-school midi transformation, which it does in its sleep, more or less.
Thank you for response.
Yes, I meant pads as individual toggles. Like in Automap soft - there are capability of CC buttons behave in either momentary or toggle mode. And I want to do that with the section of Launchpad's pads. There are a way to NOT use CC's, but sustained (with sustain object) regular Note messages instead of it. And map it to any controls in DAW. That's ok. But I'm curious of a possibility to hold values of CC's.
For example: in my DAW I have a Turnado plugin with 8 knobs mapped to CC 1-8. And I want to toggle each effect on/off from my max-reprogrammed Launchpad in both momentary/toggle modes.
Something like that. Hope I've clarified my question :)
upd. in ableton - there are no problems with that. I could easily adjust mapping setting. But for Logic 9, for example, that's a kind of problem...So I need to have momentary/toggle pads acting on Launchpad to make my LP patch works with every DAW.
Have you done the max tutorials yet? There's a lot of stuff in simple vanilla max that goes this way. Counter, Toggle etc.
Yep, I've done with the most part of max&msp tutorials. Learned it hard and almost finished a big&complex patch, but don't know how Counter or Toggle could help me. I could transform numeric CC values into sig and apply sah~, then transform signal back to num. value and send CC's data continuously. It's ok. But how could Toggle or Counter help me?
And Launchpad doesn't support hold mode.
Done it simply with metro. Just was curious if there any "sustain" analog for "ctlout". But obviously there are no needs in that.
Anyway, thanks for help!
Hi!
I'm very interested by your solution using metro but I'm a newbie so I didn't succeed to create the correct patch using metro.
May you help me please?
I just want to hold the cc inputs of a midi tracks for a specific reason.
Best regards,
John.
hi, not sure if this what does what you need, but you can program launchpad midi operation using Gridlock (www.sigabort.co/gridlock). It supports toggle and momentary processing as well as a number of other features...
cheers, Lee
Hello, John!
It was my mistake using metro, because the problem appeared to be much more simpler than I used to think) Just control what you sending to "ctlout" with "gate" or smth. else. So, in momentary mode you're sending 127/0, in hold mode - just 127.
Here is my code:
I'm using phi.lpad external to process Launchpad events and control it.
