High number of MIDI controllers

Hello,

I use in my patchs a lot of parameters that I manage with my Lemur. It´s a high number of MIDI controllers what I need and I always write them one by one (ctlin 1 1, ctlin 1 2… ctlin 4 125, ctlin 4 126, etc.). What I wonder is if there is a form to do this without writing them one by one. Any ideas?

Thanks and best regards.

The second Javascript tutorial creates sliders up until 128 with one click only :-)

And is it not possible without JS? I don´t know programming in JS…

Thanks and best regards.

Assuming I understand your question, one solution could be to build-in a "midi learn" system to your patches parameters in a similar way that Ableton Live works. I know that this is easier to say than to do, but it is possible to do, if a little time consuming to initially get sorted…

Of course, it would be great, but I don´t know how to do it.

Thanks and best regards.

So you can imagine why I need to do this, I upload an image from a normal patch of mine. There are a lot of more controllers and it´s very tired to write everytime every control.

Thanks and best regards.

cant you just use [ctlin] without arguments and then pack the messages into lists and use [route 1 2 3 etc.]?

How would it be? I don´t imagine that now…

Thanks and best regards.

Let´s see:

— Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. —

I would need to invert the order of the outputs of [ctlin], but I don´t know how to do it. Any idea?

(I use "-1" cause I want to controll the channel number)

Thank you very much and best regards.

to invert the order of outlets (or swap any pair of numbers so they come out in the right order) use [swap]:
