8 Macro Banks

Post by Dragonbreath » Fri Sep 13, 2013 8:10 pm

Hey guys I have looked high and low and this doesnt seem to exist yet.

Im looking to have a macro tool that would allow 8 banks of 8 macros that would work with the blue hand from the APC.

Essentially should work similar to the regular macros but would take advantage of the apc40's 8 banks of encoder.

Does such a device exist?
I have never coded with Max before it would a long for me to learn. Is is this even possible to code?
I think everyone would be intersted in something like this maybe we can start a group of people on the effort.

what do you guys think?

Don't know if this is exactly what you mean, but you could try to load 8 of these:

Thanks for mentioning my device, filter_7.

I do plan to do a 8x8 version, but not before mid december, as I don't have access to my m4l computer until then. For the time being you could use my MultiMapper16 device, which provides 2 banks of macros.

I will do a max msp standalone that, provides 9x8 CC-Banks - by rewireing it to ableton via a virtual midi cable ... but no blue hand - fixed cc midimaping

i have done that already for a bcr2000 (STABLE) - 8Banks for all (48?) CCs over 8Midichannel, I must do that for APC also, maybe i dont forget you and give you info when i´m ready

Isotonik gives you 8 banks of 8 mapped how you like that include the Track Control Encoders and allow you to define the lighting state of each encoder and a reset value for each as well...

Click below for details...

Cheers

Yeah kinda like that but with 8 banks of paramaters to map.
Essentially I just want a regular macro assignement with the blue hand but be able to acces 8 banks with the blue hand (doesnt need to be accros multiple tracks like the multimapper, but if it does thats fine too). This you can access all your mappings dynamicly from a controller with 8 banks like the apc40 or another controller that supports banking of parameter (via a user remote script for example)

This would enable access up to 64 parameter in any device in any track.
mothergarage let me know if you end up doing something like this.
