[benjamingordon]

do you know of any alternatives.... i like the universe idea!!! very true indeed... i shall be a lovely open door and im currently exploring... some interesting species out there!!!!

[supamonsta]

do you know of any alternatives....

no, sorry.

gotta contact FlyCycle in the korg / padkontrol / farmpad forum thread, and ask him for snow leopard support!

cheers

[benjamingordon]

im gonna go back to leopard for now then...

[benjamingordon]

ive gone back to leopard now and it does the same thing.... it gets stuck on entering active mode... any ideas?

[supamonsta]

oh my....

sorry bro' I really have no idea of what's going on with your farmpad+padkontrol combo...

did you try to reinstall farmpad?

good luck

[benjamingordon]

do you reckon you need to install the drivers, even though you dont need drivers on mac...

[benjamingordon]

ok so panic over... i figured it out...

i installed the padkontrol editor and changed the global midi channel to 1. it was on 10 before as each of my controllers have their own midi channel to avoid overlapping controls.

how can i now change the global midi channel via farmpad back to 10?

many thanks

any news on a PC port?

heres comes the need of making your own "benjamin_padkontrol_config.txt" !!!

you need to open the door, Ben

for setting a specific midi channel, I remember I managed this with modifying the default.txt, replacing every "channel:x" with x beeing the channel value I needed to set for the padkontrol...

good luck, and bring back some pictures of new species!!

cheers

[benjamingordon]

cool... ill give that a go...

so do i need to just edit the default txt or create my own and load it everytime i load farmpad?

to be honest... where do i find this .txt file?

thanks again mr universe

[supamonsta]

the default config txt is always loaded by default when you launch farmpad, unless you type a command asking terminal to launch farmpad with another config txt.

the default config txt may be in your farmpad folder, as for all the examples provided

in your case, if you just want to change the midi channel, you can just change the default txt, so you don't need any specific command, just keep on using your habit (typing farmpad in terminal)


But I'm sure if you begin to dive into the configuration process, reading farmpad DOCUMENTATION and examples, you'll be soon making your own config...

then you'll need to launch farmpad with a different command, I don't have it under the eyes, but something like "farmpad -f /users/benjamin/farmpad/benjamin_super_config.txt"

I made a "command text", that simplifies the process, with an icon attached, so when I launch my live set, I double click on the "monstre jumo live set launchpad icon", and it automatically launches terminal with the command pointing to the wanted config txt...

I can't help you for this right now, but I'll have some time this weekend, so you can ask me for more help about this


EDIT : I learnt a lot of useful stuff about farmpad here :

And you can even automate everything so that farmpad launches with Live automatically and hides out of the way and then also quits when Live quits:

yea all i want to do is change the global midi channel to 10... does anyone know which line of the default.txt i need to change to do this?

i have no need to change any other settings, just the global midi channel...

cheers

[supamonsta]

I remember I had to change EACH line where a midi channel was named...

I don't know how to input a general midi channel command line, I remember I had tried a lot, but finally had to write the specific midi channel FOR EACH pad, button, etc, in the txt file

just change the midi channel everywhere it is written in the default txt, I think you'll be OK.

cheers

[benjamingordon]

Ok cool... Thanks... Where is the default txt located?
