BANK %C problem

MIDIbox NG

hi again.

 

I have a problem that a banked button doesn’t clear screen with LABEL=“%C”

 

if have 5 buttons that’s change the MAIN Banks :

 

EVENT_BUTTON ID=1  TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=1:1   BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:1 LABEL=“%C”
EVENT_BUTTON ID=2  TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=20:20 BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:20 LABEL=“%C”
EVENT_BUTTON ID=3  TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=30:30 BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:30 LABEL=“%C”
EVENT_BUTTON ID=9  TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=40:40 BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:40 LABEL=“%C”
EVENT_BUTTON ID=10 TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=50:50 BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:50 LABEL=“%C”

 

as you see they also trigger SECTIONS because on the NGR I put all the info that the LCD should show. they also Clear the LCD so that the text is not overlapping.

 

 

now I have SUB banks on the MAIN banks..

 

EVENT_BUTTON ID=12 BANK=20 TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=21:21 BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:21

 

so here you see on BANK 20 if I press button id 12 it will switch to bank 21 and it triggers a other section.. so a other text on the LCD screen.

first I cleared the screen on the NGR so that the text wasn’t overlapping, the only problem is that ^label on the NGC aren’t shown.. only if I press the button or drag the slider the ^label was show..

 

so I removed the %C command from the NGR.

now if I switched to Bank 21 the ^label was show right away. only the text from bank20 is still show in peaces because the text from bank21 is on top..

 

so I did this

 

EVENT_BUTTON ID=12 BANK=20 TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=21:21 BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:21 LABEL=“%C”

 

but nothing happened..

so I removed the BANK=20.

and everything was working fine only the only problem now is if I press button id=12 bank 21 is allways triggered and doesn’t act as a SUB BANK..

 

kind regards, spirit

You’ve to consider the following: neither LCD labels, nor NGR scripts will be executed immediately.

Instead the output/execution will only be requested, and handled by a lower priority task.

 

Whenever requests happened, MBNG will first handle all requested LCD updates (labels)

Then it will execute your requested NGR ^section

yes I did notice this already. by trial and error..

but the problem I have is that this command line:

 

EVENT_BUTTON ID=12 BANK=20 TYPE=META META=SETBANK RANGE=21:21 BUTTON_MODE=ONONLY META=RUNSECTION:21 LABEL=“%C”

 

doesn’t clear the LCD

Sure, because it’s in bank 20 and switches to Bank 21

The label won’t be print, because the event will be outside the selected bank when the LCD is updated.

oke i found a nother one..

 

you say the %C will only clear the current seleted bank?

 

why Does a Button thats NOT assigend to a Bank..and haves a %C will also Clear all other Bank"s Label’s?

Because events which are not assigned to a bank will always be active.

ahh i found out its not the %C or banks that give the issue i have..

 

But its the EVENT_*Sender*Receiver that causes this.

 

because if i replace all the Senders and receivers with a “Virtual” Event_AINSER then the LCD updates correct..
