Hye
I'm using a yamaha Mox6 synthesizer as my main keyboard controler.
It provides 4 assignable knobs with several configurations.
But i would like to use this knobs to control the knobs in the instrument rack.
I don't want to create a midi mapping in my project, i want to have the midi assign by default.
Is it possible ?
Thanks by advance
How to assign midi cc to the rack instrument 8 knobs?
Re: How to assign midi cc to the rack instrument 8 knobs?
Salut salut,
Je crois que pour avoir un contrôleur qui se "mappe" automatiquement aux macros d'un rack, il faut que tu passes par un script pour choisir ton contrôleur (ici le Mox6) comme surface de contrôle dans les préférences.
Tu as des infos ici: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/07/a ... s-control/
Dans ton cas c'est pas bien compliqué vu qu'il n'y a que 4 potentiomètres.

I actually use the Mackie control with the Mox6.
So, i've tried to add a UserConfiguration.txt file in the Mackie user script directory but... nothing happens.
There must have some special settings...

I don't think there is a Mackie 'user' script, just a Control Surface one.
Control surface scripts are written with specific commands assigned in specific ways.
There is one that is for user customized scripts. But, that one references a Different directory on your computer.
The other directory is for User Remote Scripts. With this, there is a predefined .txt file with assignable parameters. On that one, you create a new folder in the appropriate directory (not the Control Surfaces one), and place the txt inside of there. Then you type in which controls of a device will control those parameters. Then the User python script references those parameters and puts them into implementation.
Now, the tricky thing is that I do not know what kind of behavior your knobs on the controller have. If they are simple absolute control, it shouldn't be too problematic as long as you're able to physically map the knobs, you'll just as easily be able to write the user script for it. The easiest way to test this is to map your knobs to random controls and see what cc, what channel, and finally on the bottom left of the Live screen the type of mode (there is a drop down to change it). Live guesses based on the behavior of your turns what mode it is using.
The only way to know if it chose the right make is when you exit midi mapping mode and see if things are behaving predictably.
Sorry to be all over the place. Good luck.
Oh, and if you have a Mackie mode working, doesn't that already do the controlling?? If you use more than one script on the same controller they may or may not interfere.

Effectively, i was trying with the wrong directory.
Now, it works.
Many thanks to everybody !

Is it normal, in the file, nothing is proposed for the pan settings ?
there are some things about the Send 1 and 2 but nothing about the pan settings.
Strange no ?

Re: How to assign midi cc to the rack instrument 8 knobs?
It is a very basic script.
There are other options out there.
One is called 'Selected Track Control' that one is a Control Surface script. The tricky thing about that one, is that it is premade with all the parameters already. What that means is, in order to interact with it you'd need to change the #'s that your knobs are sending, Or know how to edit the script (the person who wrote it seems like a nice person and I've seen them help people out with this).
The other problem with Selected Track Control is that it has tons of pre-mapped stuff that you aren't even using, all mapped to cc#'s AND notes. So it may be too much trouble.
Another tricky option is to use one of the other premade ones meant for another controller. But that doesn't always actually work, and even if it does you need to figure out all the control #s.
Then there are ClyphX related things, there may be something amongst there which lets you do pretty much anything you can imagine. I don't know much about it myself.
Lastly, if I recall, your original post was just about controlling instrument parameter macros on group macro knobs? The pan thing isn't something I'm used to handling

Yes, you're right !!Lastly, if I recall, your original post was just about controlling instrument parameter macros on group macro knobs? The pan thing isn't something I'm used to handling
And, it was to make some tests with my Mox6, but with only 4 knobs for controls, it's very few !
I think i have to go for a Samson graphite 49, which allow a lot of things, and, for the price, seems to be the best midi keyboard in that range.
