MAXMSP midi learn help
Hello Everyone.
I am a beginner to MAX & have hit a snag with regard the midi learn function.
I have made a rudimentary patch with several sliders and I would like to assign the various knobs on my BCR2000 midi controller to these sliders independantly of each other.
I have downloaded various user patches with what appear to have the functionality I'm after but I can't figure out how to merge any of these patches into mine. Midi is all set up correctly, can midi learn a single fader but that's about it.
Any help would be welcome.
A patch would be helpful :)
There isn't really a "midi learn" function in Max (unless you build one). You'll have to define your controls.
Check out the attached patch (copy to your clipboard, select new from clipboard in max).
This shows the basics of getting midi data into Max, parsing it into the desired data type, and then routing based on controller number.
this is probably the most advanced available tool yet : https://cycling74.com/tools/midi-learn/
^ Nice one! I didn't know about that.
Thanks very much for your replies.
The jmx tool appears to be exactly what I want, although I haven't got it working 100% how I want (yet). In the unzipped folder there is a file called jmx.utils.js as well as the maxpat file - where does this js file need to go?
I have been checking out the jmx.tool presentation, and I can get it to work with my BCR2000 controller fine - when I hover over the dials or slider I can assign knobs to control them indiviually using the midi learn button. However, when I copied the whole thing onto another schematic containing a few sliders (that I have jiven script names to in the inspector), no sliders or dials respond when I click midi learn etc. Does anyone know where I am going wrong?
the .js should be in one fo your max paths
for the resst, i don't know... havent been looking at it quite enough to answer :s maybe simply a case of necessary saving/re opening the patch ? (for intialisation loadbang etc)
It's working great now
