Controller side MIDI settings in NI Controller Editor to trigger clips

Post by HI5 »

Hi again,

while working on my midi mappings i ran into trouble with correct outputs for playing clips on the controllers.

I use Native Instruments controllers and work on a deck focused mapping for a maschine jam &
a layer focused mapping for a maschine mkI

Before i was using only the mkI as a layer focused all in one controller but never was able to get the outputs working to how they should work. (I think it is not possible right now without making massive bome translator mapping).


As some of u may know i can do a lot of controller side settings with the ni controller editor.
I would like to know what settings works best / most safe to trigger the clips in resolume.

I decided to use CCs (Control Channel) instead of notes but i really get strange behaviour of the outputs.
Can CCs cause any trouble? Are notes better than CCs?

Another thing is the style of the controller button. I tried to set it up as a gate or trigger.
If i make it trigger style i have to set it up as relative 0-127 in resolume to let it work more than one time.
If i make it gate i can let it work on absolute mode in resolume.
In both ways the output works fine as long as i do not have a layer focused mapping to trigger clips @ the same time.

I also would like to knwo what are the best midi settings for the clips in resolume. (Absoute or relative 0-127)

I did a lot of testing but did not come to a conclusion and i would like to knwo whats best to mess with cause
its so much work to change the settings again and again in every single field.

By the way it would be really nice to be able to change absolute or realtive mode in resolume midi settings for all marked targets. Right now i can just mark 1 target to edit things.

THX

For triggering clips Note MIDI Gate messages seem to work for the maschine jam outputs.
If i try using CC for clip triggering i get into trouble.

This is the case while using deck focused mapping for the maschine jam matrix & layer focused mapping for the maschine mkI @ the same time.

And BTW i recognized that i cant choose between absolute and relative modes in resolume while using Note commands.
