HELP - Using Behringer CMD DC-1 to control FS

Post by Jriluminacao »

Hello
I'm trying to use midi control Behringer CMD DC-1.
I can use all the buttons normally, but I can not use the rotary encoders.
The FS responds to commands of rotary encoders but just change the values ​​of 62 (left) to 65 (to the right) - as seen in the pictures below. I would use the rotary encoders as faders - is this possible?

There is feedback to the encoders, but no feedback on the buttons.

So I need help to solve this questions:
- How to set up the encoders? (for example to change values of Pan or Tilt)
- Is there a way to set feedback for the buttons?

I´m using FS 3.5.7
:fs:

(sorry for bad english - I'm using google translator)

I use the CMD LC-1 and I have the same problem. Is there anyone that would take on writing the script to make the encoders work like the BCF? I'm assuming it's probably some copy and paste. I'll pay $50 via paypal!

SOLVED - Using Behringer CMD DC-1 to control FS

Post by Jriluminacao »

At first - i´m using google translator, I hope you understand.
After spending much time on the Internet, FINALLY I found a solution to properly use the Behringer CMD DC-1 mid control .
To use endless knobs on FS will need to create translation rules through the " Bome's Mid Translator Pro " you can find on the internet ( paid version ) - try to find the google-- ;)

After instaling Bome´s you need to route the midi ports:
MIDI> Routing (Midi thru)...
Link "Bome Virtual Port 1" in the left column to "CMD DC-1" in the right column
Link "CMD DC-1" in the left column to "Bome Virtual Port 1" in the right column

Create a New Preset, in this preset you will need to create a new translator for each Knob.

On the " incoming" click "capture midi "
Turn the knob until the message "B5 10 pp" appear (the number "10" is the number that corresponds to the knob and it will be different for each knob)
select the box "Swallow incomingMIDI message..."

Go to Rules, use:
if pp>=64 then ga=ga+1
if pp<=64 then ga=ga-1
if ga<=0 then ga=0
if ga>=127 then ga=127

On the "Outgoing", use de follow Midi message: "B5 10 ga" (remember to change the number "10" for the number corresponding to the Knob in use).

Note: you don´t need to creat presets for the buttons.

Keep Bome´s open or minimized - whenever you use the control
open FS and go to Setup> FreeStyler Setup> External control> Midi control
Chose "Bome´s midi translator 1" as input and as output

It´s Done and should work :D
:fs:

Hello,

Is there any way without bome midi translator? cause i don´t want to spend 60€ for this.
I searched for hours on google and found a software called midiox but don´t get it working.
