Hi to…myself apparently…as nobody seems to use Mackie Control with Renoise
Anyway, here’s my status for now:
i finally succeeded sending sysex messages to the Main LCD display.
For now, i only display track names under “Mixer+Panning Configuration”, and more interesting Effect Devices Names (works for VST’s) with their params names and values, and also Presets numbers, soon preset names.
This (display implementation) was the most difficult part for me, but now that i’m sure i can display almost any Renoise Variable, so many ideas are coming to my mind…
I’m thinking of making a good suite for MCUPro with Duplex, with certainly its own ‘Duplex Application File’ so i’ll not have to modify the core files at everyupdate! I want to modify the Effect App to control the Instrument FX devices, as it works only for Track Devices for now. I will probably use the NOW application as the MCUPro have many buttons that should be used. Some controls (buttons) will be duplicated in the diffferent config files like the transport ones. I also have some other ideas with the display, but i’m afraid the latency it generate will not allow much traffic!
Anyway, i’ll not be able to code for 1 week, so any of you can make suggestions about the layout and/or the controls and/or displays, within my capabilities.
For Now, All faders are working, v-pot feedbacks also. Their feedback’s CC indexes are offseted by 32 so that’s the only reason i changed ‘MidiDevice.lua’. I can display whatever i want on the main display. I didn’t investigate deep yet about the 7 segments digits displays, only failed sending to the MCU some MMC clock frames. If you have any tips for using those 7segments please help me!
