Question about Instr. MIDI Control device

[shawhan]

hey everyone,

trying to write a script that will programatically change VSTi presets - i’m using Instr Midi Control device as a way to send program change messages to each VSTi.

my question: is there way to set the “Linked Instrument” property of the device programmatically? doesn’t seem to be one of the available DeviceParameters.

No that is not supported in the Lua API, i would have liked that option very much to become an available feature myself, but for the hacks i wrote for the midi control device, there are now native solutions .

[shawhan]

is there a native way to do this in v3??

The only part where the linked instument is done automatically is if you have it currently selected in the instruments list when you drop the device to the DSP rack.
There are no other means to change this option, neither natively or in Lua. (if you could have done it natively, there would definitely have been a LUA api call for that.)

ah i see - thanks for the help!

another script dream crushed!!

this thread did cause me to finally download the beta and explore a little though

Here’s a hackaround for this:

Setting Line Input Devices Parameters

Hey, I’m working to more tightly integrate renoise and a few other bits and pieces and really would like to set a Line Input device’s channel and input parameters upon creating it. This doens’t appear to be possible in 2.8b5. Only volume and panning are listed. Am I missing something? Cheers, Tristan

thanks! i checked out the active_preset_data xml for the instr midi control device, and it doesn’t seem like the “linked instrument” is part of the data. am i missing something?
