Using same MIDI fader for multiple actions (howto implement pages)

  • Dear users,


    first, I wish you the best for this end of year and next year and thanks to the devteam, it's so great to use this software.


    My request today is to implement "pages" for my MIDI controller. It's an Akai APCmini and I would like to use faders (9 faders) for multiple controls. My story is:

    • the first (virtual) page allow me to control some settings (by the programmer) such as intensity, strobe, RGB colors, ... with faders
    • and on another (virtual) page I have prism, gobos, rotation, ...
    • to switch from a page to another, I'm using buttons that enable and disable banks,
    • so I have a bank for page 1 faders and switch to page 2 button
    • and another band for page 2 faders and switch to page 1 button

    But "physically", of course, I only have 9 faders, not 18 faders. When I'm switching from bank/page 1 to bank/page 2, all current faders values are defined and sent to the corresponding programme setting. My wish is that when I activate a bank, MIDI values are sent only if I move faders.


    But perhaps there's another way to implement my story ?


    Thanks

  • Thanks for this reply. But it's not an hardware "abrupt change", it's managed by DMXControl MIDI implementation: when I enable a page (Input assignment) every MIDI values are sent, not by hardware controller but internally in DMXControl. It's not a fault but it could be interesting to have choice on this behavior.
