The MIDI trigger for a MMC play command is F0 7F 7F 06 02 F7Īccording to the below link, F8 would be sent at a rate of 24 per quarter note. Otherwise we would probably need to manually reset the counter to 0 and then start the sequencer and then count sync messages from there. We could do this by monitoring the MMC play message if the device sends this or MIDI time clock start. If we do that, we would have to first, have a mechanism to set the sequence at 0 at start of play. We might have to use MIDI sync signals and then set up a counter to determine which step we are in the sequence. However, it is possible that you cannot get your KeyStep to do this. Do you know?įor instance if you can get it to output MIDI notes 0,1,2,3,… in order based on the current sequence steps, it would be a simple matter of translating these notes to light messages on your Launchpad Pro. This I don’t know and it is unclear to me in the manual that I found. In order to do this, we need to decide what MIDI signals the Keystep sends out at each sequence. If a 16 step sequence, the first 16 lights. If it is an 8 step sequence you would use the first 8 lights. But if you do this, make sure in the LED Feedback Preset you have \"swallow\" turned off in each translator, otherwise any translators will not allow that specific event to pass through.įrom what I understand, you want to know the current step sequence by lighting LED’s as each step in the sequence occurs. Anything going through this path will pass through directly to your App/Device. You can simply draw lines on the main project file between them. If you are not using a translator for notes going from Beatstep to App/Device. Independent Bome Programming Consultant/Specialist Let me know if I can be of further assistance. In BomeBox you will need to assign the proper ports to the aliases you set up first. When you are done, you can the upload the project file to BomeBox and start the project there. Now do this for every LED you want to light. velocity – set this to the color value you want. This sets note on or of on MIDI Channel This toggles the value of ga from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 It will be different for each translator/button ga us the global variable we use to track the button Input: (whatever input Beatstep produces) Keep in mind the launchpad buttons are momentary, so you will need to have a global variable maintain the state of each LED. Now modify each translator output in the “LED Feedback to Launchpad” preset for the desired output.Do a search on “launchpad color values” or something like that on google and you should be able to see the velocity assigned to each color. The velocity will be the color you want to produce. The output note or controller will be the same as the input note or controller. If you can find that, you can temporarily assign launchpad as input and push the button and write it down. On the Novation site, download the Launchpad Manual, it will tell you what note or controller each button generates.You could probably start by copying and pasting the translators from the other preset and the modifying the output. On the translators to launchpad you essentially use the same inputs as you would normally do to the device/application but the output message would need to be modified for what the Launchpad needs.This is where you will put your translators going to the Launchpad. On the other preset which I call “LED Feedback to Launchpad”, you define the Beatstep for Input and Launchpad for Output which again overrides the project defaults.I assume so far you have all of this working You would then put any translators there for handling whatever you want to send to the App/Device.You would then only define input from Beatstep out output to device (overriding project default routing) Under the preset “Preset to App/Device”.I would assign aliases for all devices as this will let you make it easier to use them if the BomeBox decides to call the raw device something differenton you computer. At the project level you define both the input device and 2 output devices.One for the MIDI going from the Beatstep to the application or device, and the other for going from the Beatstep to your Launchpad for status. The project file should have at least 2 presets. Later you will upload to Bomebox if you do not want the computer involved. Set up a MT Pro project file on your computer to do this.Here is a summary of what you need to do.
