Multi Keys, One control parameter.

Post by sjdacruz »

I'm looking for a workflow, where I have two sources to switch between - source A and source B. Source A is always visible unless I press any of 10 MIDI key inputs, then only source B would show. Any tips or tricks? Currently a mix only accepts one input at a time, so that won't do. I have multi inputs.

Thanks,
Scott

Hey Scott, what do mean by 'sources' and 'mix' and 'multiple inputs'? it's tricky to figure out what you're trying to achieve.

I think what he means is something like: "If certain MIDI key presses are received by a Mix module, then switch the Mix module to the second input." His complaint is that you can only link the Mix module's Amount parameter to one individual MIDI key.

To get around this you can use Globals and an Expression. Create a Global for every desired MIDI key, and then have an Expression that sums them, i.e., a + b + c + ..., etc. If that sum is greater than 0, at least one of those keys has been pressed.
