Midi in/out --- some questions

#1

I have done some research here but don’t think I am getting all the way there.

  1. plug my MIDI controller into USB slot 2. message appears with the MIdi device name and my midi device powers on – fantastic. using Launch Control XL 3

  2. @thetechnobear add performance mixer – PMIX module. Use button combo left-shift + right-shift will get you to the midi page of his modules… super cool and using encoder #3 “Midi in” I can scroll through the midi device name… in this case it says:
    MIDI IN: 0: LCXL3 1 LCXL3 1 Midi in

  3. Midi Channel: Omni (although i’ve tested other Channels as well

  4. Moving the controls of my controller doesn’t show anything in the chart on the left… param ch type num… I am guessing this is a monitor? Maybe not. I see a Learn, Note in, and delte button.

  5. MTMO: Ok so I added this module, jumped into it… moving my conrtrollers shows no changes on this screen… ok

  6. i added the MIDI module… dont see anything updating there… hmmm

Ok I think I am figuring it out slowly.

  1. Trying my sweet sixteen USB B out to #2 USB in of the SSP
  2. PMIX midi page… midi in 16n port 1 selected
  3. push learn… then back to the main pmix page
  4. guessing I move a control of the PMIX then move a control on the contorller

don’t forget to connect all these modules

#4

see bottom of page, I should expand/improve it… its a bit brief.

I did a video showing it, so I think I assumed people had seen that, but thats unrealistic :wink:

the list on the left is to show assignments made, and alter.
but to create initial mapping you must use learn

#5

yup I think the confusion lays on the fact that after a Learn is made the Learn button doesnt disengage.

that is deliberate, so that you can learn multiple controls without having to keep going back to the midi page… which would be pretty tedious if mapping a lot of controls :wink:

#7

So then the order of operations is select learn. Page out.

Then turn a digital control. Turn a control
On the digital control. Rinse and repeat.

Quick follow up. Doing some test plugin building this morning making sure my dev env is correct

Are you building in a Linux VM? Or Linux desktop? All my machines are Mac Silicons (m4 max, M1 Pro, M2 Max) just spun up a Debian Stretch in UTM.

I cross compile directly under macOS most of the time.

Finally got a compile that can be seen by the Network Page. And loading. Sweet. Thanks.
