Sequencing Jomox mBrane11

I want to sequence my mbrane from my machinedrum or Renoise, but I hate having to send two different MIDI CCs (MSB & LSB) to access the full range (0-255) of the drum parameters. I’m not experienced with MIDI so I’m hoping someone around here knows some way that makes this kind of sequencing easier. Is there a way to send out MIDI data from a single control/macro to access the full range of these high resolution parameters?

Someone in another thread mentioned most DAWs have the ability to configure MSB/LSB splits to be able to modulate high resolution MIDI from a single control. Is there a way to set up MSB/LSB splits in Renoise?

Sorry, there is no easier way to output 14-bit MIDI from Renoise than to enter it in the pattern itself.

You are using pattern commands to sequence the mbrane and would like to use envelopes instead?

Hmm… I just tried hacking something together with meta-devices, but my approach didn’t work since the Instr. MIDI Control device needs a value to actually change before anything is output. (and this, btw., is also why I usually prefer using pattern commands over automation with the MIDI device - because it will always output when playback crosses that point in time, no matter what the previous value was).

In that case, how would you send 14bit MIDI using pattern commands? I’m guessing I would still need to address two MIDI CCs.

I won’t mind using pattern commands instead of automation curves.

You can send raw MIDI (CC, Program Change, Pitchbend and Channel Pressure by placing a Mx command in the pan column

The syntax is a bit special, check this article on tutorials.renoise.com:

So, in your case you need to specify two CC commands - but this will give you total freedom as to the LSB/MSB order.

Instr Pan Fx
01 M0 0000 -- MSB 
01 M0 2001 -- LSB (note the initial "20", this is 32 decimal higher and indicates a MSB/LSB pair)
--
01 M0 0001 -- MSB (a higher value because of "1")
01 M0 207F -- LSB

Note that you can stick the above into a phrase to have easy/quick access to MIDI initialization.
