Actually I have found simple midi resolution to be unsatisfying in a few situations. I was looking for a way to use OSC or NRPN Midi into Drambo, but I did not really find any mention of this over here in my superficial search. In fact I could not really get any info also in the web on OSC ready iOS-Apps apart from those made to control external computers. Most people seem to use TouchOSC to send midi instead of osc messages over here. That works at least to provide a cleaned up control-surface in wich I can't accidentally erase a whole module in a live situation. Wich is really cool, but high resolution fader movement (like it works so nicely inside drambo) would be also really really cool. Does one of the two above work? Could one of the two work? Is that a worthwhile request?
@monogong Neither OSC nor NRPN are supprted in Drambo but you could use two MIDI CC, one for coarse and one for fine value adjustments, by means of modulations or morph knobs.
@gravitas (or anyone), i also am about to try an map my 1st controller, the LCXL from the earlier posts here, so thank you for your input so far. I have a question. How do you, or is it even possible, to implement radio buttons?
for example: say the bottom row of buttons I’ll dedicate to track selection. Let’s say they are all yellow, and selecting track 1 turn the button green. When I then select track 7 (and have it turn green), how can you get track 1 to turn back to its yellow state? I.E. how to set buttons back to a default state when a new button is pressed so only 1 button is ever green/selected at any given moment.
please let me know if I need to clarify this better.
Nice to see some familiar names here. I’ve been outta the music scene for quite a while and last time I even touched Drambo was before the midi feedback module became a thing. I’ve got a lot to relearn…..
“Basically what you're asking for is when you've selected another button you would like the previous button to return back to it's default state?”
Exactly this.
Let’s say there’s 8 button to select a track. all the lights are off and only the last pressed button is illuminated. if I was scripting this in Mozaic or something, what I would do is either:
— store the last button pressed in a variable and toggle it back if any other button is pressed and turn on the new one pressed, or
— tell all 8 lights to turn off, then turn on the light of the button pressed.
1st scenario is out, but maybe the 2nd option is feasible with midi feedback modules. Was just curious if you knew an easy way.
Prolly might be easier just to stick Mozaic or StreamByter in the chain somewhere?
that’s good to know. Thank you. But I also have other use cases for it.
Drambo isn’t my main host, it basically is just recording midi pouring out of my hardware sequencers, cc generators mapped to controller knobs to avoid jumping values and provide automation in AUM, and tracks for plugins hosted in AUM, like sample slot selection in Samplr, or know which track/sound I will be editing the parameters of in hammerhead.
both AUM and Drambo are running standalone. Drambo standalone so I can get the midi feedback. All my audio is handled in AUM, so it goes like:
sequencer/midi & controllers ——> Drambo ——> AUM virtual port

Aloha,
Sorry to revive an old thread from the grave

It's been awhile since I've been around also.
Basically what you're asking for is when you've selected another button you would like the previous button to return back to it's default state?
You may have to put together a panel for that which is doable I think.

I think it could be done using switches and a S&H module maybe two S&H modules
so that when the selected button is pressed the rest gets a gate high or the reverse.
I'm thinking about how it could be done.
I already have a panel floating around some place that could be adjusted to do this.
I've just discovered the Code module so bear with me. :)
@micabeza
Track select buttons already support this. The OFF state color is in the MIDI CC value for "Default".
Change it from 0 to the value that corresponds to the color you want in its Off state.
