input selection with button matrix
Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2019 5:13 am
Hi all,
This topic has been brought up before and others have offered solutions but im not quite certain there's a great way to solve this issue.
What I'd like to do is use the button matrix on my APC40 to change an inputselecter value from 0 to 9 (or what ever) with each single button press, representing a specific value from 0 to 9.
Others have suggested using a 'note number' with a scale value of 127' so each key press on a keyboard can trigger things, but that's not to handy when I have a button matrix. I've tried using the trigger and wrap modifiers, but that only really works with a single button/input.
I reckon that perhaps a new module would be quite handy- something akin to a input-by-value-selection that would allow us to to have a modified input selector with triggerable inputs. The module would need to be a tad dynamic, as in it changes it's limits according to the number of different nodes connected to it; each potential input node could get it's own midi selection option so one can assign each unique path from the selector's input towards it's output.
I'd find that handy: a button that fires movie 1 onto the background and another button that fires movie 2 onto the background instead., up to X amount of buttons.
Is there a method to accomplish this that's a little less intuitive which I haven't discovered yet or should I resubmit this onto the feature request subforum?
Love me some mmv
thanks everyone,
