Multiple mapping states for one controller

[Henrimartel]

Hey Guys,

I've been wondering if it is possible to have multiple mappings for one controller. What I mean by this is for example having instant gratification and then having hot cues and sample launchers. I haven't really messed around with this yet, just thinking about it in theory. Would it be best to use modifiers? (That would get really, really cluttered though) or would it be better to switch my device to another midi channel and do it that way? (This might not be convenient unless there is a quick way to switch midi channels with out going into the option)

I personally use a MPD26, but I'm wondering how it would work out on other devices as well.

Has anyone attempted this? I just might not have dug in the archives deep enough.

you can't switch or enable/disable them on the fly. you'd either need to merge them all into one tsi and then add an extra modifier to every control or use some middleware software to change the midi channel sent to/from the device as u suggested.

midimasher could be used to switch the midi channels or even simpler by creating multiple devices and have midimasher change which virtual midi port it routes the data to.

the new function set_device_route() in midimasher just passes data from any midi port to any other midi port and could be called on a button press etc to change which port it gets sent to.

This midimasher sounds like it can be the solution to all my problems. is it third party software? where can i find it and how exactly would i go about setting it up?


Thanks,

it's my own software. it's free and the download/install link is in my sig. windows only tho atm until i get access to a mac somehow.

i should be releasing a new version this weekend, which will then include the function you'll need set_device_route()

would probably take about a 10 line config file to get it doing what you need.

Have you made a thread about it?I like the idea, I am sure we can get a Mac programmer interested.

i don't need a mac coder, i need access to a mac. i just need to be able to compile+test. in theory it should work without any changes might need a few tweaks.

forum thread is in my sig.

DEAR GOD!!!

dude we need to get you a mac ASAP! I run my sessions on a mac and your software sounds like the solution to all my problems.

cheers lol. if i can get a license for osx somehow then i'm sure running it in a virtual session would work. it seemed a bit pricey last time i looked.

As far as im aware apple dont supply licences for users to run their OS on anything other than apple hardware.

However there is nothing physically stopping you installing a copy in a virtual machine if you have access to a installation disk.

sure... i had a nasty feeling that was the case...

doesn't the install process require a serial number?

i'm actually probably "going mac" and i think the traktor pro2 license would allow me to keep one install on my pc and install another on the mac? i think it allows u to install 2 copies and i could just download the mac version?
