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?
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.
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.

However there is nothing physically stopping you installing a copy in a virtual machine if you have access to a installation disk.[/quote]
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?
awesome and if i do try a an install in vmware etc i won’t feel too too bad as hopefully getting a macbook soon anyway.

or you could install some form of osx86 to a spare harddrive
i did look at that - but it didn’t seem that either of my 2 spare laptops were compatible enough. tho i might just give it a try on them - have a couple of spare drives that should do.
i used to know someone who was “Dr More” tho he may have spelt his surname “moore” i guess…
