Trying to make an editor for NL 4. How do i make a menu?

puzzlefactory · Post by **puzzlefactory** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 7:38 pm

I'm making an M4L editor for my Nord Lead 4. I'm basically routing "cltin" objects to "live.dial"s to "cltout" objects. This works fine for the functions controlled by the hardwares "knobs".

However certain parameters (such as the oscillator waveform selector an the filter type selector) are changed on the hardware by a single push of a button that cycles through the various states. All of these various states are controlled by a single cc number. How can i set up a control in Max to control these "cycling" parameters?

Better yet, how can i create a menu where i can select the waveform/filter types by name, rather than cycling through?

I've tried creating a "live.menu" object with as many separate options (labelled numerically) as there are waves/filter types, connected to the cltin and cltout, but this does not seem to work.

Can anyone help me out here? Or point me in the right direction?

Sorry, I don't understand what that is or what to do with it...?

Ok, will give it a go. Cheers.

That's fantastic, thank you!!

How do i get the input of the menu to respond to the cc number and parameter value when i physically cycle through the different options from the hardware?

I can use "midiparse" to get the values from the incoming messages, but how do i get the menu to read those messages and switch accordingly?

Marvellous! Thank you so much!

I've edited it slightly so the ctlin goes directly to the "sel" object. I'm guessing the "t" object is a toggle? Not sure how the rest of the patch works or how the "prepend" object works? But i'm glad that it does.

Thanks again

t = Trigger and in this patch you can deled it and patch the cords direktly
If you dont know what a objekt does or how it works simply right click on
the objekt and "open Help". It opens a explaining Patch for the seleced objekt.

The word set, followed by a number, specifies a menu item to be displayed by the live.menu object without triggering any output.
