Live filters duplicate CC values
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 1:27 am
Live (6.0.10) seems to filter duplicate values for all MIDI CCs - apart from CC 0. It's probably easiest if I explain this with an example...
I have an endless encoder on my Novation 25SL set to CC 0 on channel 3 (Port 1). It's in relative mode such that it always sends a value of 63 when I turn it to the left, and always sends a value of 65 when I turn it to the right.
I have a MIDI track in Live with an input of "Novation 25SL: Port 1" channel 3, and an output of "MIDI Yoke NT:1" channel 3.
In Live's MIDI Preferences...
"Input: Remote SL: Port" has both "Track" and "Remote" set to "On".
"Output: MIDI Yoke NT: 1" has "Track" set to "On".
If I turn my encoder to the left, and keep turning it to the left then both the "MIDI Track In" indicator and the "MIDI Track Out" indicator flash with every click of the encoder. Same if I keep turning it to the right.
However, if I now change my encoder to a different CC, then the "MIDI Track In" indicators flashes with every click but the MIDI Track Out indicator flashes with the first click only, and Live does not appear to transmit these duplicate messages.
In my scenario, these messages go to Bome's MIDI translator which converts then to Up and Down key presses, so that I can navigate with an encoder. But this doesn't work unless I use CC 0...
