Hi Midiboxers,
Is it possible to save controller values somehow?
My exact usecase would be this:
Button 1 saves current value of encoder 1 and 2
Button 2 recalls values of encoder 1 and 2
Best regards

I guess that you don’t want to use the snapshot function, because it would store/restore all EVENT values (which are not excluded from snapshot) into/from a single storage, right?
There is a trick which could help in this case: you could use the SET command in a .NGR script to copy the value into dummy events, which don’t listen or send to any MIDI port, but just act as storage units.
E.g. let’s say you’ve defined a dummy LED with:
EVENT_LED id=3000
Then you should be able to copy the value of encoder 1 into this Event with
set LED:3000 ENC:1
And copy back with:
set ENC:1 LED:3000
in a .NGR file
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Hi again,
I guess that you don’t want to use the snapshot function, because it would store/restore all EVENT values (which are not excluded from snapshot) into/from a single storage, right?
Right!
Then you should be able to copy the value of encoder 1 into this Event with
set LED:3000 ENC:1
And copy back with:
set ENC:1 LED:3000
So that’s the purpose of the set command.
I did not really figure out how the multibnk.ngc example works…
Thanks
Best regards

But if i want to save this dummey led/enc values to sd to load them again after restart
there is no other way then using snapshots, right?
Yes, this can only be done with snapshots.
Best Regards, Thorsten.
A small suggestion:
What about instead to exclude controllers from dumping with “no_dump=1”
it would be nice to have the option to include controllers with “dump=1”?
Hm… but how to switch between the different behaviours?
I guess that most people don’t want to add “dump=1” to all EVENTs, so that it can only be an optional parser feature.
Best Regards, Thorsten.

Yes, that´s true…
…added about 700x “no_dump=1” 
Another question:
Is it possible to have different sets of controllers which get dumped?
Best regards

EDIT:
Just an idea:
It should work if i use dummy encoders for dumping too
and copy only the required values into my “real” encoders via an meta event, or?
Sorry for flooding the forum since a while, but this should not give the impression
that i am not trying to do it on my own.
MIOS Studio shows this error if i want to save a snapshot:

Whats wrong?
Thanks again for support!

We’ve a problem here: the application can only open one file (because there is only a single read buffer).
This was never a problem before, but now you found a case where it does matter.
I’ve to consider to overwork the file handling to cover this case, but this will be a complicated change, and I won’t have the time to do this in the next 3..4 weeks… :-/
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Open one file? Do you mean it is not possible to use a script (.ngr) to load a snapshot (.ngs)?
Yes
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Does it work if i put everything (set, load, dump a snapshot and trigger a runsection)
into one single .ngc meta event?
Yes, this should work.
Best Regards, Thorsten.
