Midi CC to note
Midi CC to note
Ive got an incoming "CC" that needs to be turned into a "note" for outgoing actions..
Is there an easy way of doing this??

Is translator software the only choice?
No little device or vst or something??

There are MFL devices for this. Other than that, external applications are your only option.Rabalder wrote:Is translator software the only choice?

Re: Midi CC to note
can't he trigger a midiclip with the CC and this midiclip contains a note that get's routed back into Live as remote via IAC or midiyoke?
Just an idea ...

You'd need 128 clips for that. One for each value.pepezabala wrote:can't he trigger a midiclip with the CC and this midiclip contains a note that get's routed back into Live as remote via IAC or midiyoke?

And you can't assign the same CC to 128 things anyway.
Depending on what he actually wishes to achieve, maybe the pitch plugin could help.

I tried to search the library at maxforlive.com, but couldnt find anything. Is it a specific device youre talking about??
I tried the midiclip version, but there is no way of turning the note off..pepezabala wrote:can't he trigger a midiclip with the CC and this midiclip contains a note that get's routed back into Live as remote via IAC or midiyoke?

Im using an expression pedal that send CCs, and Im trying to make the pedal work as an on/off for sending a constant midi note to an effect..
Im using it while playing drums so I can sync the on/off-note with my playing.
Re: Midi CC to note
other free alternative are glovepie as external app or usine free vst can be used as a vst.
Re: Midi CC to note
I figured somebody would have done it by now. Didn't realize you had MFL. If you have it, I can whip this up in about 2 minutes if you want. But you'll need to be specific about the results you expect.Rabalder wrote:hoffman2k wrote:There are MFL devices for this. Other than that, external applications are your only option.

Ok, so.. When you map a "twistable-knob" to an on/off parameter, it usually works as a simple on/off switch.(being 0=off and 1-127=on..
This is what the CC coming from the pedal also should do. When "ON", the device should send a midi note (prefarably C2, but any note goes), and when "OFF" it should stop the midi note.
cc1-127 = midi note ON
cc0 = midi note OFF
(The effect is triggered by midi notes as you probably can imagine..)
Does that sound right? I think it does..
Re: Midi CC to note
This can be done by using the CC to launch a clip.
Make a 1 bar clip with a 1 bar long MIDI note in it
Set the Launch Mode to Gate and Quantization to None.
In the Notes box set Start to 1.1.1, Loop Position to 1.1.2 and the Loop Length to 0.3.2
The note will trigger (or re-trigger) if the control value is above 63 and stop when the value is 63 or below.
The re-triggering can be a problem because you are likely to send multiple messages. but turning on Legato mode seems to fix this (not sure why though)
When testing this on my BCR I noticed a strange effect with the control feedback which seemed to be setting the controller value back to 0 at the end of the loop. So maybe don't enable control feedback to the pedal.

Re: Midi CC to note
For a simple on/off switch Crumhorn's suggestion will indeed work.
But since you have MFL anyway, this little effect might be more easy to set up.

Thank you very much. This is brilliant! You have without a doubt saved my weekend!hoffman2k wrote:For a simple on/off switch Crumhorn's suggestion will indeed work.

I hope you get rich!
@crumhorn. Your suggestion did work very well.. With Hofman2k´s device the on/off-switch occurs between 0 and 1, not 63 and 64. Its a lot easier to control the pedal when it activates the effects just by tapping your toes instead of moving the whole foot so much. Probably just a matter of taste though..
Custom made software is always cooler anyway..
Thanks
Re: Midi CC to note
@hoffman2k. You should put this device on maxforlive.com. A handy utility tool indeed.
Im sure someone else is in desperate need for a cc to note device exactly right now.. As Im writing this text.. yes.. YES.., Could it be?
Thanks again

I need to polish it a little bit more. Some people might prefer a different threshold.Rabalder wrote:@hoffman2k. You should put this device on maxforlive.com. A handy utility tool indeed.

That is the thing about MFL. Its easy to make a device, but most of the work goes into making it user friendly
If you search maxforlive.com for "Vayner", you'll find my finished devices and soon this one.
