Hi Maarten & Jeroen,

I already asked that in another MIDI feedback thread but I think it's better to open a seperate topic for that.
Could you document the MIDI feedback triggers which are usable for programming MIDI feedback? E.g. I tried to let some LEDs light up when one of the play buttons on the upper end of the screen is pressed, like

Code: [Select]
<trigger type="Unsigned" specifier="Change">Playback Button 01 Active</trigger>

but that didn't work. So a documentation of possible MIDI feedback triggers and their counterparts in the Cuelux user interface (actions) would be really helpful.

Thanks a lot for all your hard work! Cuelux is getting better and better and I am looking forward to the upcoming version with all the BPM stuff ;-)

Best,

Ben

Hi,

To answer to my own post: Looking in the Tascam.xml I am confident that the trigger I used (Playback Button 01 Active) is the right one. Could it be that it's a bug and Cuelux simply does not, well, "trigger the trigger", when, in this example the first top row playback button
is pressed?

Thanks a lot,

Ben

hi Ben,

Sorry to have left you to answer your own post  8)
What you suggest should work, but also in the tascam.xml it does actually not work. Let's call it a bug. I'll dive into it. There might a Frankfurt tradeshow in the way...

Hi Maarten,

No problem, I am glad, you could reproduce it! Meanwhile I could do some other programming for my controller, so no worries. But if you could find the time, I (and maybe others as well) would be happy for a list of all possible feedback triggers ;-)

However, all the best for the tradeshow!

Hi,

LED feedback of the playback buttons now works like a charm with the new version of cuelux. Thanks a lot for fixing so fast!

Best,

Ben

Hey,

Sorry for coming back to this topic: while it works, the feedback triggers appear to be only implemented up to the 12th playback button, but it would make strong sense to support all 64 buttons ;-)

Best,

Ben

The Playback Button xx Active is relative to the selected bank.
In release v1.02.6 I have created the triggers Playback Direct Button xx Active and Playback Direct Button xx Inactive which are not relative to the bank and cover number 01 till 64.

Gave this code a shot:

Code: [Select]
<actionlist enabled="true" label="feedback" source="System">

<action>
                    <trigger type="Unsigned" specifier="Change">Playback Direct Button 01 Active</trigger>
                    <tasks>
                        <task type="Midi" function ="Control">
                            <argument type="Midi Address">Channel 0 - Message 09 - Index 53</argument>
                        </task>
                    </tasks>
</action>

<action>
                    <trigger type="Unsigned" specifier="Change">Playback Direct Button 02 Active</trigger>
                    <tasks>
                        <task type="Midi" function ="Control">
                            <argument type="Midi Address">Channel 1 - Message 09 - Index 53</argument>
                        </task>
                    </tasks>
</action>

<action>
                    <trigger type="Unsigned" specifier="Change">Playback Direct Button 03 Active</trigger>
                    <tasks>
                        <task type="Midi" function ="Control">
                            <argument type="Midi Address">Channel 2 - Message 09 - Index 53</argument>
                        </task>
                    </tasks>
</action>

</actionlist>

Button 1 works...
Button 2 lights up button 3...
Button 3 does nothing...

Somethings not kosher with "Playback Button Direct Active/Inactive" code.
