Automapping layers
Hello!:)
I’m an absolute noob and I would like to ask for assistance to set up layered macro automapping.
For instance, my controller would get automapped ( Xtouch mini / Midimix) to the first 8 macro on a device, then switch to the next set of 8 after a press of a button. Where do I need to start?
Thanks!
To answer comment #10: yes, the way you described it is how this script works.
It might be easier to use the Device Parameter Settings. I just rather use Reactions because it’s a more versatile feature and I’m able to make my list of mappings very compact with it. With Reactions, your approach to building a mapping is less restricted, there are multiple ways to achieve the same goal.
In the MIDIMIX example, I made a Reaction for each Slider. But you could in essence build one Reaction that listens to all 4 of the sliders. Then you could place conditions that depend on which listener number is sending velocity data. In other words, I could’ve made 4 Reactions into 1, which I would’ve done if it was for myself because I like having a compact list of mappings.
In fact, I did that for myself with my Nektar Pacer footswitch controller. I made one reaction that listens to 5 footswitches, and depending on which switch was pressed it would arm and select a track. The Reaction is only 3 Action Blocks long.
Not only can you replicate and expand upon the basic mappings that Remotify already provided for us, but there are so much more other features accessible with Reactions. But to become comfortable with building Reactions, you need to start building them.
Also, knowing the basics of the Python coding language is a huge advantage with CSS because of the ability to use custom code. I took those free MIT online courses a few years back and if you’re using a computer a lot, like me, then having that skill in your pocket is a real advantage.
Personally, I also like puzzles, and figuring out the Reactions gives me the same pleasure but with the added bonus of having something interactive as a result.
It depends on your needs I suppose. There’s no wrong path if you’re feeling good walking it.
