Hi.
I want to implement octave up/down buttons as found on many midi keyboards.
I’ve read the NGR documentation and can’t find a way to either read the value of kb_transpose or declare a global custom variable instead. The custom var would be used to store the current transpose value and in if-else statements inside the NGR script.
Do i have to setup a dummy element and use its value as my custom variable? If yes, how do i do this?
Or is there a better way of doing this?
Hi,
there is currently no way to declare custom variables, but you can use the storage of any unused event instead.
E.g. let’s say you don’t use LED:1000, then just use it to store your value.
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Thank you Thorsten!
May i ask how i can call another section from inside a section.
if ^section == 1 RunSection:2 endif if ^section == 2 endif
Edit: Sorry, just found it myself. exec_meta does the trick
In this particular case you could also “set ^section 2”, it should do the same (because ^section 2 follows ^section 1, no jump required)
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Works too, thanks.
I’ve a question regarding the range of kb_transpose. I’m planning to have a transposition range of +/- 2 octaves. I assume kb_transpose stepping is laid out in half tones, so it would look like -24, -12, 0, 12, 24. But this will not work as negative values seem to be forbidden. Any idea how to achieve this?
Fortunately no problem to support negative values

Very nice, thanks again.
Will give it a try.
