Device Details

hi there, great patch, thank you! just obe question: is it possible to assign own paramternames for each controller? like not "controller1", "controller2", etc, but have own names like "decay", "pitch", whatever? this would be cool to be able to define it for each instance of the ExternalMIDIControl. don't know if thats possible at all.

I updated your device so one can rename the macros:

hi ,

can I control a sherman filterbank 2 with this midi device ?

thanks

This works perfect with the APC 40 and Reason - thanks a LOT!
I was beginning to despair.

I would also like the custom macro naming though - and I can't convert Prebentious' code to a usable *.amxd.

Any chance an experienced person could compile and resubmit the final "product"?

Thanks.

@ stzlm - i dont want to upload this as my own device since prodavid did all the work, but here is a re-compiled version if anyone out there wants it, where you can rename the macros:

very usefull thx a lot :)

Great stuff....

Hi

I do not have Max for Live. I am going to install it. But before i do so, i had some questions since you have worked on the midi devices in Max.

What i want to do is send Sys Ex msg'es (to send prog cc & bank changes to external devies-like keyboards) in Clips so that i change sounds on my keyboards when i enable the clip in live sessions.

Will i be able to do this or create such a thing using Max?
DO you have a work around sol for this?

Any help will be grateful

Thanks

Works a charm, thanks oisin et al for the updated patch!

Hi Oisin, Is there a way to get your updated version of the patch so I can rename the controller names? I hope you can help me out or send it to me. I would really appreciate it! best of luck. Matthew

matthewdekay@mac.com

hi Oisin, is there a way to re up the corrected device as the link is dead now and i cant compile it from max4live as it seems to need the full max which i dont have (yet)

I was wondering, if we could send sysex / program & bank change, messages to External midi devices ?

to julesfrom paris : I don't own the filterbank 2 but version 1. As far as I know, only a few parameters are controllable by midi CCs on the sherman. This is a design choice because of the limited resolution related to MIDI. So I imagine things are the same for version 2 but I may be wrong...

Hi, again, if Oisin could re-up the device that allows you name the CC's, that would be magic..

Btw, to niharsavala - Program and Bank Changes can be sent via Midi Clips.

Sysex is not an option, since Ableton actively filters it out of the stream - so Sysex using Ableton as the Midi Device is not possible. It may be possible for Max for Live to act as the Midi Interface tho, which would take Ableton's filtering of Sysex out of the equation...

Many synths and effects devices that have deeper parameter control by Sysex strings allow you associate particular CC's to control those Sysex-only parameters, and some synths will store those with the Patch.

Thanks, Eanna

Hi, thank you very much for this useful tool ! Can you make new build for Reason Pitch midi message? Only this not working for me (or - are there any solutions ?) 1-127 not working. There are some information here - http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/584751-pitch-wheel-midi-cc-number.html - but that is not very helpful.

Can someone re-up the updated version with the rename-able macros? Pleeeeeeeeeaaaase...

s1 please upload the updated version..

easily one of my favorite devices on this site. nice work!

That's really useful, thanks very much.

Ah, just what I needed. Thanks!

Here's an easy work around to rename the controls... just group it and assign the 8 controls to the 8 macros and then rename the macros.

Just found this, really cool device. Great that you can load more that one for more that 8 controls!

Using with the APC40 and it works like a charm. I can now map CC#'s to knobs and such. I don't know why Live doesn't have this function built-in.

Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

Simple and great patch, thank you! Just bought an old digital synth that sounds decent but lacks realtime control options. I thought of adding a BCR or similar for control than rethought to use my APC for this with a CC control plugin. Exactly what was necessary to twiddle with my new pad sounds. Thanks again, Sven

This is so cool! I use it to control my Microcosm. I ended up using 2 instances of this device and then group them so I can use the Midi Effect Rack's Macros to rename. THANK YOU!
