CC values jumping around erratically
Hey,
I’ve created a simple script for my digitakt. It has eight knobs that control the eight macros of the currently selected device. It sends feedback to the digitakt to update the values when the selected device changes. That’s all working fine. But when I change the value of the macro, the macro starts jumping around like crazy (see video)
Is this some feedback loop issue, where the controller changes the macro value and the feedback changes the controller value which then changes the macro value and so on?
I can’t figure it out 🙁
It does look like something to do with the feedback. However, unless the attached Ableton parameters are still being moved after you release the encoders (maybe with automation?) it doesn’t make sense that they would continue moving more than once.
The mapping will only send LED feedback until the Ableton parameter stops being moved.
Try turning the LED feedback settings off in the mapping > LED Feedback Override
(set it to custom and uncheck ‘send LED feedback’)
Hey John,
thanks for the quick answer!
When I turn off the LED feedback it stops glitching but then I lose the functionality that I need: the digitakt showing the values of the currently selected device.
It might be a problem with Digitakt. I will also contact their customer support.
I attached my script. Maybe you have another idea of what it could be.
Cheers

Ok, so that sounds like the Digitakt isn’t liking the received LED feedback velocity value.
Do you know what it uses for feedback. Is it relative or absolute?

Yes I think that’s the problem. After some more testing and talking to the Elektron guys I’m almost certain that the problem is a MIDI feedback loop.
I can’t think of a clever way to solve this in software. Maybe what I want to do is just not possible with the digitakt?
As far as I understand the digitakt works with absolute values.
Thank you for you time 🙂
