suggestions for MIDI

[ziggy2]

hello
I don't know if my remark is out of space (I'm definitly not into software developpement.... sorry)

actually the MIDI control acts allways the same way
for exemple to control a toggle we send a CC with value 127 and it gets "on"
the next send of the same CC at value 127 turns it "off" and so on....

I would be very happy when it could be possible to change this value 127 in a userdefined (say 1 or 100...)

one reason would be to use a keybord with touch-sensitiv keys WITHOUT changing the velocity response

but for me, the reason the most important would be to obtain a "on" with 127 (for exemple) and a "off" with value 1
this permits to show actually the on/off status on the controller-surface (for exemple the Led of a button....)
for exemple : selecting a group (or an override button) via MIDI and a controler; there is no way to show on the controler if its on or off in the computer; because the MIDI-mesages for "on" and for "off" are the same, = value 127 of the same CC channel for both : on and off

I hope my message is clear enough (english is not my real language, sorry)

it already works that way!!!.

I use BCF2000 and when i press a button which is assigned to a group of fixtures, the LED on the button turns on. when i press on it again the led is turned off.

also if the button is assigned to a override button in Freestyler it will work the same way

Hi LJ
thanks for your answer
yes it works that way; but only by feedback coming via the MIDI-out of freestyler...
that feedback works with the the Behringer but not with all controlers (doesn't work with common keyboards for exemple)
and the switching doesn't work neither with keybord-keys when the velocity is not set to maximum value

and also, when using a real "on/off toggle" (a switch) instead of a flash-button; you allways have to push twice to get the action done... (because Freestyler recongnizes only full values (value must be 127) for switching actions)

you can change that in freestyler.ini file:

look for:
[Midi]
MidiIn=
MidiInName=
MidiOut=
MidiOutName=
Triggervalue=127

great
thanks a lot !! that resolves allready the problem with using touch-sensitiv-keys....
