Kinda of Automapping for MIDI controllers?

[Gravis]

Hi guys, i've had a search, read a bunch of different options but can't find anything obvious for my solution.

I have 12 tracks, each with a beat repeat on it and a MIDI controller that has an endless rotary controller on it.

I would like to be able to have that knob on the controller change the interval on the beat repeat but ONLY for the currently selected track, I do NOT want it to change the value on ALL beat repeats on all channels.

Right now i can only assign it to one beat repeat interval knob, OR, if i assign it to all of them then they all change at the same time

I was wondering if there's an already existing solution or I'll have to make a patch using Max4Live. Seems like I'd do something along the lines of ....

1: Get currently selected track
2: IF track has beat repeat device THEN
get interval parameter and increase by 1 'step'

i haven't actually played around with getting MIDI information from a controller and doing something with it in Max4Live. Is it a LOT of effort or something that is very simple?

Cheers

it is quiet easy to do.
did you try patching ?
I'm sorry, I cannot do this for you cause of time but I can help a bit via email if you need it

Hi Julien

Ok, so i have what i need kind of to make this all work, however im stumbling on something fundamental to max4live. I've created the path which takes in a MIDI message (using the ctlin object) and works out if its the correct knob on the hardware controller then applies the value (it controls a parameter on a beat repeat, yay).

However, i save the set, close live and come back to it, load the set up then turn the hardware controller knob as before, Live recognises that a MIDI message is being sent, but even when im looking at my patch, nothing changes? im missing something to do with when sets load etc?

What's stranger is that i create a new patch and simply add a ctlin object to it, and that picks up the MIDI messages just fine. So what the hell is wrong with my patch?

Cheers

p.s how do i add my patch onto here so i can give it to you to try out? I've seen people do big encrypted dumps of their patches but im not sure how.

- check about limitations of max in Live (and check about this workaround too)
- select the whole patch you need to copy, go to edit menu & choose copy compressed & paste it here

Where do i find this limitations bit? online, got a link?

and as for my patch ...

The idea is that this will control the 'interval' on a beat repeat on track 0

Let me know what u think and why i might be having problems

Cheers mate

I don't know if it solves the problem, cause I didn't understand it..
