Ableton Forum

hi there,

here is a first alpha release of mcu emulation for the lemur (http://www.amorat.ch/services/lemur).

as there is no feedback-possiblity for MIDI at the moment it's not
too usefull,
but even though a proof of concept the implementation as used in
live is
descriped in chapter 22 of the live manual! you can see a screenshot
of the
prefs at the above location.

problems:

-I had to use single pads instead of a row of pads because I haven'
found a
solution howto know, which button of a row has just been released.
any help???

-this patch uses 80% memory. ...and I had the intention to have four
emulations
running at the same time plus some freaky additional screens only
possible with the lemur

-during the design, the lemur hung several times and sometimes
rebooted by itself, scary....

-the monitor object reloads in a different size, when saved with
height "24" or below.


Status:
-the JogWheel is implemented as SceneUp/SceneDown-Button

-the function-keys are not implemented, as they are not used in the
standard
implemantation by ableton

-the main-faders don't send note-on messages before sending any pitch-
bend
information and note off when releasing a fader. I don't know how to
do this
at the moment. they send note on/off on channel 1 note 104-112 values
127/0.

-the rotary encoders are not implemented.
I'd be very happy if somebody could help my with this: the rotary sends
CC on Channel 1, Controls 16-23, Value 1 on right spin, Value 65
onleft spin per tick.
so it sends always the same msg again and again with each "rotary-click"
I was thinking of an implementation as a fader as well.

------------------------------
obviously there is no feedback. there are two solutions for this:

1) use osc.
2) wait till release 1.4, there are the following messages which have
we need:

a) Note On/Off for the LEDS

b1) First row of lcd display is SYSEX:
00 F0 00 00 66 14 12 00 53 65 6E 64 20 41 20 53 65 | f Send A Se|
10 6E 64 20 42 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |nd B |
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | |
30 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 F7 | |

b2) Second row of lcd display is SYSEX:
00 F0 00 00 66 14 12 38 4D 78 2F 4D 53 50 20 45 78 | f 8Mx/MSP Ex|
10 74 2E 49 6E 20 45 78 74 2E 49 6E 20 45 78 74 2E |t.In Ext.In Ext.|
20 49 6E 20 45 78 74 2E 49 6E 20 45 78 74 2E 49 6E |In Ext.In Ext.In|
30 20 45 78 74 2E 49 6E 20 45 78 74 3A 41 6C 20 F7 | Ext.In Ext:Al |

So there it would be nice to have a monitor which could be fed by
a substring cut from character 7 to 63

c) CC Continous Controls for the LED-Rings:
CC on Channel 1, Controls 48-55, Values 17..27 for Pannerstyle,
Values 33..43
for Volumestyle, 0 for no LED burning

d) the 7-Segment "Assignment" is done by CC on Channel 1, Controls
64-75,
there it would be nice to have a table which translates to
characters,
or even better a special implementation of a 7-Segment-Display


so I anyone would like to contribute and help, it' welcome at most

your post makes my head hurt and makes me feel stupid.

My immediate reaction is to this post is to start stringing together quotes from Cronenberg movies, ie:

"Long live the new flesh"

or

"this aint the way the world will end- not with a bang but a wimper."

I'm not sure who you are maskedman but you just raised some sort of ante.

Welcome aboard! May your days of posts be in plenty!

Hi amorat.

Saw your post on the jazzmutant list.

Will be checking this out for sure.

MIDI feedback could make this truly great!
