Hello everyone.
With the help of @wim (that I will never stop thanking) who wrote the code which I paste below, I finally got an editor for the LaunchKey Mini MK3 pads LEDs. I have customized the script in an “elementary way” to have a “Solo” effect for the first line, when you press a pad the others on the same row switch off.
Now I thought we could take it a step further and I have made an GUI of how I believe it can work.
The pads send Notes ON/OFF fixed on the values you see (from 36 to 51)
By holding down a pad and moving the knobs you can change:
KNOB1 - NoteON Pad color (velocity = integer values from 0 to 127)
KNOB2 - Pad pulses or fixed (channel = 9 fixed / 11 pulse)
KNOB3 - “Solo” mode (this works per row, pressing one pad the others on the same row turn off = Off, Row 1, Row 2, Row 1 & 2)
KNOB4 - Presets (store 10 different presets) *this is pure luxury. Otherwise KNOB4 can be used for the noteOFF color
In "Solo" mode colors ON/OFF must be the same
How about? It's possible?

My idea

WIM code + my “artigianal” code

@Description
  Toggle Launchkey pad lights on and off.
  Example only: NOT tested.
  Route Launchkey in parallel to the app to be played and to this script.
  Route this script to the "Launchkey DAW" port (I think).
@End

Hey @Tatobx - that all seems possible, and you did a good job specifying how it works, which makes all the difference.

I'm super distracted by a new rabbit hole - exploring making mini midi controllers with Arduino. But, sometimes I need a break, and this would be a good distraction

... unless someone else gets there first!

@wim do you have any examples of mini midi controllers available to view?

I'm killing myself here. It was the trigger that finally pushed me over the edge to buy a 3d printer for the "family" as a Christmas present. Just pressed "buy" about 30 minutes ago. Argh. I think I'm gonna hate myself in the morning.

Mozaic scripting is a lot cheaper!

@Tatobx
Good luck with updating the button labels with the status descriptions of the 4 knobs. That’s exactly the issue I ran into with my fugue generator. Lack of string handling means that you need a different LabelPad call for every possible different combination of settings. That boils down to huge if/elseif trees that quickly run into the script length limitation. It’s fine if all you want to do is display numeric variables, it’s only strings that are a problem.

PeteSasqwax

@wim I'll happily purchase some enclosures from you when I need them if that helps ease the buyer's remorse

The first is going to be based around this little guy: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/comment/878974/#Comment_878974

I have the basic code working and it sends notes as it should over USB and 5-pin DIN (even when plugged into the iPad with no outside power 😎). I want it to be Bluetooth though, so waiting on some parts to do that. Then I have to wait until Christmas to 3D print a case for it.

Meanwhile I'm just messing around with components like faders and rotary encoders. I haven't come up with any concrete ideas for other controller configurations yet though. I'm just plugging stuff into breadboards and making it work with code so far.

Def. a possibility. We'll see.

soundtemple

@wim cool! Do you have an "ultimate controller" or something you are hoping to build or just experimenting with how it all works? I'd be keen to hear how it all progresses. So please keep us posted!

Just messing around and learning at this point. But I'm excited about the mini 16 button controller I linked to. It's simple, relatively inexpensive and could be very useful for doing things like velcro-ing it to a guitar.

PeteSasqwax

Could you make them in larger formats like a Monome? Couple it with a Raspberry Pi with a PiSound DAC and you've got Norns with a Grid and saved yourself hundreds!

The Neotrellis 16-switch pads can be configured in of up to 64. But, they're switches, not pads. I'm not sure they're all that practical for something like that. Most of the time I look into mimicking a production controller, I find the production controller to be a better alternative. No, if I make anything, it will be a special purpose device that doesn't exist in another form factor. It's pretty hard to beat anything made in a real manufacturing environment.

We probably should take this up in another thread as I've veered us OT pretty badly already.

PeteSasqwax

Wise! Sorry for adding fuel to the detour! To bring it back on track a little: the idea of making controllers for specific setups appeals to me greatly. For example: something that would work with a particular Mozaic script in order to create a single instrument (or effect or whatever it may be) is immensely attractive.

wim

The Sensel Morph has a lot of potential there. You can make custom layouts to do anything you like. I have one, but haven't done a whole lot with custom layouts. With only a 2D printed layout guide, I don't find it much more inspiring than the iPad screen itself as an input device. But if I can find the right 3d printing filament so that there's some tactile aspect to the layouts, maybe it'll get more use.

PeteSasqwax

Damn, an augmented Morph would be amazing!

As VirSyns AddStation got around adding parameter function it opened up a great synth to be even more so. BUT, it's harmonics base (I think it's called that) system makes it a nightmare on some aspects as the harmonics for just ONE block has 512 parameters. I did 15 using the same CC but changed the range ever so slightly. Every block has 7 Parts with those 512 parameters and it's 8 blocks * 4, you do the math: changing each and everyone (not very useful, just saying) would be a year, for me . Anyway, here's the question: is it possible to tell Mozaic adding values to a parameter that has not been set yet, or does one always have to do that manually first?! Nervous it's a dumb question but guess I'll have to take it, if so

_ki

@Pxlhg Woaa - thats a hell lot of parameters

In the default settings of AddStation, the block harmonics parameters are not visible - one has to enable ‚AU Automation‘ in the standalone settings to make them appear.

Unfortunately one has to map them all manually, as AU plugins can’t add parameter routes by themselves.

I once had a test session with 44 midiLFOs AUs sending on different channels and four different CCs each - 176 CCs which is a lot, but still two magnitudes away from the 16384 possible harmonics level AU parameters of AddStation. I don‘t know if AUM would route such a big number of params without a hickup.

_ki

... And there are 6 more categories (pan, freq, attack, decay, filter, noise) each with 512 params - so flicking AddStations ‚enable AU Parameters‘ settings switch added a parameter tree with a total of 114688 AU parameters

Hello , I would need a script to transform the input of Midi Guitar 2 to a sort of MPE controller to drive Geoshred Sax or Flute or SWAM instruments in general. I was able to do something fairly reasonable with Streambytes , by sending MIDI data to channel 2 and converting Aftertouch to Channel Pressure. It works fairly well but I am sure that with Mozaic something much better , and possibly configurable can be done ( i.e with velocity curves, etc , or assigning Pitch Bend to CC74, ..). See if somebody can come up with something clever. Thanks

I made this one for chords a couple of weeks ago but I got hung up trying to get the pitch bend from mg2 to play nicely with the ‘shred. The basics are fairly easy to implement but I couldn’t navigate the available documentation well enough to find what I needed to progress unfortunately...

I finally decided to get my hands dirty ( I have no experience programmig .....) , I managed to code a plugin that converts MidiGuitar 2 to be able to play the Tenor GeoSax on an iPad. Basically it routes all the midi data from Channel 1 to Channel 2 , converts Velocity to Channel Pressure to drive Expression ( I learned, Channel Pressure it is not the same as the Aftertouch that MG2 releases ), and also uses Velocity to drive the Formant and to turn On/Off the Growl , when it reaches high levels. The Pitch Bend works fairly well ( at least to my expectations ) I will try to upload a quick and dirty demo that I did with AUM so you can listen ( I tried to cover various modulations......probably overdone ) and see if this is close to what you where after.

Sounds great, well done! I did notice that mg2 had an update that mentioned pitchbend so that might have been my trouble as when I tried my solo script again, it seemed much better. I did notice that really upping the range of the bend in mg2 helped it not go so far in geoshred, though that’s something that could be addressed by the script as well.

I’m not seeing the file btw, looking forward to seeing either 👍👍

REQUEST: A drummer asked if we could "glitch" MIDI events. That led to looking at
using MIDI CC's to toggle the volume or mute parameter on an AUM channel. I created
a sample using Rozetta LFO to toggle both Volume using a Square Wave CC and another to toggle MUTE on the channel. It sound like this:

So, I thought FAC Envolver can generate a CC stream that follows the transients of an audio stream like a Drum Machine app to create CC's in rhythmic patterns. I need to see if it also
sends a CC = 0 on the downside. Does it? Not sure.

Anyway... there's a request to make a Mozaic script that sends rhythmic CC's to make a Channel in AUM "glitch" creating a rhythmic pulsing sound (like Perforator). There aren't many scripts that take on the drum machine like patterns are there? Anyway. Maybe
converting MIDI notes could get mapped to CC 127 and 0 events? Easy to code, right?

NOTE ON -> CC = 127 (or some settable level via variable or knob)
NOTE OFF -> CC = 0 (or some settable level via variable or knob)

Ready... set... code!

Yeah, when it comes to e.g harmonics it's would be enough to just map a bunch out of the 512 and for some of the others mapping wouldn't do much at all from a sound manipulating perspective. Guess I'll have to do a few at the time and save a template. Thanks for answering, well appreciated.

My settings in Midi Guitar 2 for the Pitch Bend are the "Bend Range 12 ", any other setting for the PB produces an absurd change in pitch ( also I have the Legato and the Aftertouch disabled , the Gain is close to the maximum the Tone is 3/4 of the way and so is the Gain.

Listen to the audio file, and if you like it I can upload the plugin so you can try it se how it works for you ( and you might even be able to improve it quite a bit, because I do not think it is very elegant.......you could possibly add some knobs to be able to reroute the Note On Velocity to other CC's).

I would definitely give that a go, and it sounds like you’ve got it nicely dialled in... my code is as rough as can be so I wouldn’t worry

Thanks @wim , for me waiting for you to come out sometimes of the hole is not a problem.
Thinking about the project, the KNOB4 is better to do something else, i can save each preset separately and it would be better to dedicate a knob to the color of the noteOFF
then:
KNOB1 - NoteON Pad color (velocity = integer values from 0 to 127)
KNOB2 - NoteOFF Pad color (velocity = integer values from 0 to 127)
KNOB3 - Pad pulses or fixed (channel = 9 fixed / 11 pulse)
KNOB3 - "Solo" mode (this works per row, pressing one pad the others on the same row turn off = Off, Row 1, Row 2, Row 1 & 2)
