Sending arbitrary MIDI controllers?

2018-04-22 11:03 am

Hi -

I wat to go a little bit more into better sound rendering. So I have a purchased Soundiron's Olympus Choir Micro - and there, one can "do some things" with MIDI controllers 71 to 81 (e.g. "blend" with CC 71 or "offset" with CC 78 & 79).

The question is, of course, how can send such commands from NWC?

As I see it, the multi-point controller does only support a predefined list of controllers (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95, according to the documentation)
So the only way to send a CC 71 etc. seems to be via an object that calls nwcplay.midi(#offsetSPP,'Command',#midiData1,[#midiData2]). The documentation does not indiciate that there are any limits to the sent data, so by using 'controller' as Command, 71 as #midiData1 and some value which the "choir instrument" understands as #midiData2, I should be able to do what I want, shouldn't I?

Is this correct - and if yes, is there already some sort of "generic MIDI controller object" which would support such scenarios?

Thanks for any enlightenment!

I don't know much about this subject but I remembered something being written before.

I found this links which may help (or may not)
There may be further items in the forum if you look for them,

Thanks a lot! - I searched for "controller" - not much to find - and "CC" - hopelessly overloaded by that - and some other keywords but did not immediately stumble over something useful. I'll take a look!
