How to use MIDI properly with buttons
Posted: March 15th, 2010, 10:28 pm
Hello !
I would like to use my Novation Zero SL MK II with freestyler... But I have small problems..
I want to use buttons to trigger my sequences. It works but I have problem with the LED feedback...
In fact, if I understood it well, Freestyler memorizes a MIDI note and velocity level. It expects this exact combination to trigger on AND off the sequence.
On my interface, I can specify how i want my buttons to react :
Normal : Pressing the button plays the note indefinetely.
Toggle : I can alternate between two values (typically 0 and 127)
Momentary : The note is played only when I press the button.
Momentary would be the best mode I think. But then, the LED button only gets lit the moment I press the button... and switches off the moment after, even if the sequence is playing.
I would like the LED button to stay ON while the sequence is playing. It should be possible since if I press with my mouse the button directly in the interface to switch on or off the sequence, it updates the LED exactly as I want : ON if the sequence is played, OFF if not.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks a lot !
