inc/dec with same button

inc/dec with same button

2011-05-17 by s_y_nagual

HI all,
is it possible to assign value of increase/decrease to 1 button?
Now it works in a cycle: 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-etc
I need a button to go: 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1-2-3...etc, so I can go up/down with same button.
I assigned 2 buttons to same CC: #one 1-5, #two 5-1, but it's not the same...plus I loose a button....
Is there a way?
TIA

I don't think so, at least not on the BCF/BCR itself.
Maybe you could have a computer reverse the direction whenever the computer receives a terminal value (1 and 5 in your case), but this seems very tricky. And of course this can never work in situations without a computer.

Best wishes,
Mark.

Hi,

If you are going to use the BCR/BCF with a computer in Windows you can try something like MungRack and create some rules for your task.

This is the idea:

You need to create a cycle from 1 to 8. And with MungRack you have to change the last values as follows:

If value 6 is received then value 4 will be sent
If value 7 is received then value 3 will be sent
If value 8 is received then value 2 will be sent

Example: Rules in MungRack for CC# 32 (cycle 1-8):

*,Ctrl,32,32,6,6,N,*,Ctrl,*,*,4,4
*,Ctrl,32,32,7,7,N,*,Ctrl,*,*,3,3
*,Ctrl,32,32,8,8,N,*,Ctrl,*,*,2,2

If you are in OSX I can't recommend you any VST like this. Sorry!

I hope it helps.

Cheers,

Alex

Just wondering why you try to assign such strange task to a midi conroller.... I would instead program the target software to cycle back and fort from 1 to 5 and 5 to 1 as long as it receives midi data from a specified cc.

Thank you all,
it is not that important, I will assign it to a Pot, same thing, I was just wondering if it is possible. I would have like to assign it to a "clock devide" that goes 1/1,1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16,1/32, and I didn't like the roll over from 1/32>1/1...

Thanx for your input and have a great day.

Best, Karel
