But, does Live understand the XT commands?

It's nice, isn't it? But I don't use it a lot. It's much easier to turn on my MCU and see the codes sent in a midi monitor app. I'm using MidiPipe for monitoring (the pipe consisting of a "Midi In" and "AList" only).Machinate wrote:Nice!!!! Goddamit, I feel like I've trawled through the whole damn net for this!

?
I know it's a little bit confusing. I put in the numbers, because there seem to be different standards for which note has the number 60 (middle C). And in a protocol it's all about numbers.Machinate wrote:yeah I saw that... Honestly I didn't understand it at all, since it had a lot of info on midi note conversion mixed in there.TheAnimal wrote: I also posted a small howto on the Tips&Tricks board a while ago:

Actually, I'm afraid that there is not much added value - just some more encoders. But to be shure, I'd need to see the documentation.Machinate wrote:Me too, man. AFAIK the XT is a really cool addition, and has some possibilities not included in the mackieControl?TheAnimal wrote: But I'm still looking for a description of the MackieControlXT protocol. Can anybody help?

from the specs of it I assume they tell live that you're touching the fader - so they'll overwrite existing information. With proper touch-faders this data is generated automatically (by way of expensive electronics), but with something like a bcf you need to emulate it, by assigning a button or something.youri wrote:mike holiday wrote:track volume faders are assigned to pitchbend

I understand the midichannel-mapping, but what do the notes G#7 (104) - D# (111) actually do?
Thx! That seems to be so..Machinate wrote: from the specs of it I assume they tell live that you're touching the fader - so they'll overwrite existing information.
Hm? If you run bcf in MC-mode and check the output-data (in MIDI_OX), you can see that the bcf is transmitting note on/off, too!Machinate wrote:With proper touch-faders this data is generated automatically (by way of expensive electronics), but with something like a bcf you need to emulate it, by assigning a button or something.
You can even use your synth keyboard (or whatever else sends midi code) to trigger clips:nuperspective wrote:will i be able to get the navigation and triggering of clips working via my uc-33??
