Question

Is it possible to define a button (momentary) which sends 6 CC messages on press and one CC Message on release? I want to send FX presets to my Roland SP 404 mk2. I got it working with my Hotone Ampero Control (footpedal) bit woulf like to use the iPad as controller..

Thank you for your support, Tobias

Answer 1

I'll throw down a sketch answer here, which might be enough for you to figure it out.

First, if you just needed to send 6 CC messages you would use this

but you also want to send one message on OFF.

The first solution that comes to mind for me has some moving parts:

1. your button, which is supercontrol of a
2. knob with two ticks which is the supercontrol of
3. two buttons. one of them is super to the OFF buttons and the other is super to the ON buttons

The top level button must have supercontrol options set to "Force Not Stepper" but I suspect this will work either way.

Give it a go and good luck!

Answer 3

Build the individual buttons that send the desired Ccs.

Build the main supercontrol, assign the six ON buttons as subcontrols.  If you want them to send ON only, select that option in OPTIONS AS SUPER.

Build a second supercontrol, assign the one OFF button as subcontrol.  In OPTIONS AS SUPER, select both SEND ON ONLY and INVERTED.

Make this a subcontrol of the main subcontrol.
