I'm trying to use it to toggle switch in another plug-in between 2 positions (on/off) from MIDI-keyboard (in Bidule-based setup).
So, I have a pad set in "toggle" mode with Midi Triggering on and "Send Note Values" on.
I hooked up midi-control of target switch position to some CC (111, for example), so now I want a control pad to emit 2 values of C111(127 and 0) in on/off positions correspondingly.
So I set Pad values to: CC (instead of Note), Toggle Mode, Send Off Values; Y-CC#=111, On Value = 127, Off Value =0
This works fine as far as I use my mouse to activate pad and don't use MIDI triggering.
Once I start to use a note on my keyboard to trigger midiPad, some strange things happen.
First of all, if I use note#0 to trigger pad (it's the only pad in my layout) midiPad emits a hundred of noteOffs and Note Ons for note 60 (C5) on channel 1.
Again, pad is in CC Mode!
OK, I'm trying to us another trigger note, say, C#-2 (Note #1).Another strange thing happens (further lines are taken from midiMonitor):
When pressing keyswitch (toggle on) -
B0 6F 7F 1|1|011 Ch.1 CC #111 (), Value: 127
B0 00 00 1|1|011 Ch.1 CC #0 (Bank Select), Value: 0
Pressing keyswitch again (toggle off)
B0 6F 00 1|1|000 Ch.1 CC #111 (), Value: 0
B0 6F 7F 1|1|011 Ch.1 CC #111 (), Value: 127
B0 00 00 1|1|011 Ch.1 CC #0 (Bank Select), Value: 0
I.e., along with intended CC Values, with each keypress pad translates also another CC, (which number corresponds to "Note #" field, and value to "Off Value" field) and additional CC #111 (), Value: 127 when toggling off.
If this isn't a bug, then what is it?
I can overcome it with certain complications in my setup, but I hope it would be not so hard to fix.
Except for that, I also suggest to introduce an option for each pad to block triggering note from MIDI thru. Otherwise the note that you use for toggling also triggers sound (undesirable!)
Anyway, thanks for your plugins, they are really helpful when work as intended
