Greetings,

I'm building a patch to extend the midi cc's I send from my BCF. Its pretty cool, I've managed to create 5 slow fades with the touch of a button Some reversed, or with a bit of log added!

I still notice somewhat high CPU usage of my soundcard when sending alot of midi data too it.

Would it help to somehow filter all non integer values ? I want only 1 till 127 to go to [ctlout] , and not the 1.01, 1.02, ..., values I get from [line]. This way I will not end up sending 2x or 3x the same CC number when doing a fade.

So [line] is outputting float, and I want only the round numbers to "pass" to my midi out.

another thing I am trying to figure out is a visual "switch", so I can predefine availible CC's and Midi Channels, and easily configure the second and third inlets of [ctlout], or point me to some example perhaps! I'll figure it out somehow

Thanks,
FH

To convert the output from [line] to rounded numbers do this :

[line]
|
[int]
|
[change]

[change] will only let something out when it receives something different at the top. I guess this is needed because the [int] will output several times the same value.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean with the "visual switch" thing? Could you explain that a bit further?

[change]! How beautifully simple Thanks

Well, for example, I want to toggle midi channel 1 to 16. Instead of filling it in with my mouse/keyboard inside a number box. To create easier UI.

That way I can create a subpatch (I think) and quickly configure what CC/Midi channel it should have as input and output!

in the 'put' menu, have a look at 'toggle' and also 'vradio / hradio'

Ok I am definitly getting excited about PD

Too select midi channel I do the following:

[ hradio] [ hradio]
[+ 1] [+ 9 ]
[toggle]
[number]

Too select midi CC I can use Sliders, they seem to output
1 <> 127!

I guess I can also send 16 differnt messages through the toggle...
Somekind of drop-down list would be nice!

But its a step forward, so thanks for the pointers

don't forget you can set the properties of each gui element. So you don't need 2 hradios. Just make one and set the properties to 16 length.

Likewise with the sliders

Oh goodie!! This Makes Things Better (TM)

My control smoothed midi cc faders are soon to be a reality!

Thanks for all the help guys

Hi,
Im not sure if this is the right section to be doing this in,
But Im doing my first Pd Entailing project also,
what Im curious of is,
wether one can build up information,
in some form of database in Director,
and then have that information passed on to Pure Data,
please and thank you to all advice

I don't really know, but you can import data into pd in the form of a .txt
