Map effect on button to blink?

is that possible?

i have a vci 400, i have mapped alot pre-set effects on the pad buttons. and when i press on 1 of them (for example flange effect would turn on).

so my set up now is that when the LED is ON from any of the buttons mean there is a preset effect mapped.
my only indication that im using that effect is when the LED is OFF

is there away to make it BLINK instead of OFF?

help please,

i might think this is impossible. being trying different stuff for hours

I assume you’ve mapped presets to 8 button pad? Modifier can help you with idea..

M1=1 ; M1=2 ; M1=3 ; M1=4
M1=5 ; M1=6 ; M1=7 ; M1=0

All values should be set to ‘HOLD’. Now map ‘Beat Phase’ to all buttons and dedicate modifier conditions of each button.

yes i have mapped 8 presets into 8 button pads.

i have tried for with the “Beat Phase” numerous of time, none of them work.

this is how i have it…maybe im during something wrong.

add in - button 1 - toggle - effect unit 2 - learn one of the button pads

add out - button 1 - learn the SAME button pad - check invert - **** when the effect is off the LED is lit, and OFF when effect is on****

add out - beat phase - learn the same button - **** here i messed with the controller range with different min/max values****

nothing works. :disappointed:

this beeat phase method works for the PLAY/PAUSE button…i dont know why it doesnt work for the effect on.
add out - phase beat -

Perhaps the effect off LED prevents the beat monitor to lite up? Try deleting effect output and see if that help.

yup tried that too…didn’t work also. i searched all over the internet…i don’t believe anyone has done with effect on button

7

That is totally mappable, make sure you don’t have any other conflicting LED output commands mapped for same pad. Start new mapping and map only this few commands to test.

8

yup, this is on an all new fresh mapping page…to avoid conflicting.

i would like to think this is mappable

Did you use modifier to engage blink?

10

ofcourse, what ever the modifier i use on the button 1…i used it on beat phase

11

That should work dude, it’s pretty simple mapping not to…

I can make quick video to prove my statement.

12

really? you got it to work? what the…i know right…it should be as simple as night and day. but it doesnt like me for some reason.

so u do

add in - button 1 - effect unit 2 - learn any button - modifier m1-1
add out - beat phase - learn the same button - modifier m1-1

correct?

13

Should it behave as:

Make sure to clear modifier condition (M1=1) out of ‘button 1’ first and ADD in > Modifier 1 > button-hold > value 1…

Leave modCon M1=1 for beat phase.

14

ok i must be retarded…even with that video i stll CAN NOT get it…here is my mapping

Quote myself lol

I see your MIDI is set to ‘All Ports’ do you use second controller in your setup? In any case, set MIDI to VCI400 to be sure.

17

ok i got it to work like you, however it seems like the modifier is controlling the blinking. becuase when it set the modifier to direct…it blinks constantly.

i was hoping the effect on controls the blinking. is it not doing the way i want it. :disappointed:…because these presets are toggle presets. not hold presets.

but thanks for your help stewe, i dont want to trouble you anymore…i feel bad

18

Here I will pick up for him, Do you want it to only blink when held down or toggle?

19

Hey Kensic it’s cool, glad you did it! I think there is solution for this using your toggle modifier (preset one) and dedicating it to second ‘hold’ modifier’s condition slot.

0notice will tell you the details :wink:

Ohh! The minister of mapping has faith in me! I feel honored… :slight_smile:
