VU Meter possible?
Hi! Does anyone know if it is possible to get VU-meters on my Reloop Mixtour controller going with remotify? Thanks!
Yes Vu Meters can be displayed using either of the following values:
live object model > output meter left
live object model > output meter right
The attached script uses a single LED to output to display the vu meter (the vu meter should expect to receive MIDI velocity value from 0 – 127, but you can edit this if needed).
The script includes 3 example reactions which will display the VU Meter for tracks 1,2 and 3.
When editing it yourself…
1. To change the track, this needs to be done in 2 places.
In the listener AND in the ‘current input value’ which is in Action Block 1’s Action Section.
2. To change the LED output, change the ‘controller input’ in Action Block 1’s action section..
Make sure you have added the LED output in the controller template.
Here’s a quick video on where to edit the reactions: https://youtu.be/UIb8tXTiRcg
LED feedback sends the midi velocity value.
If you need to send something else to the controller you can use the reactions action
‘midi controller > send raw MIDI data to controller’
More info on using this is discussed here: https://remotify.io/community/question/how-display-ableton-track-colors-…
The scrip John provided was very helpful!
My challenge now is that I can’t distinguish VU from encoder position.
The VU is routed to an encoder LED ring and basically acts like a white vu meter. The encoder is also used to control different functions and the ring indicates the value of that parameter in white. They are both white, so the VU meter basically masks the parameter value. (FYI, I have my hardware set to “fill” the LED ring, as opposed to :”point”)
Is there a clever way to use reactions to color the parameter value one color and the VU another?
