Set variables question

MIDIbox NG
1

Is it supported to have the channel of a CC (or Polypressure) event represented by a variable.

The application is to be able to change the channel destination of an encoder CC event to a different voice in a synth editor.

It is possible to adjust the same parameter with a sysex short message where the voice is addressed by a part# field in the sysex string but it will mean a lot of work (re)writing a very large configuration.

What about port? What would be the way of selecting a different port for messages. The application is to have another same kind of synth on an alternative port (e.g Virus B on Uart1 and a Virus C on Uart2) and switch the editor between them.

Such features are currently not provided.

The big question: is the usage of variables really the right approach? What if you want to control both synths from a single control surface?

Or would it be better to provide new .NGR commands which allow to change the channel and port assignment for each event?

So is it possible to load an alternative .NGC from a run section in an .NGR?

Thanks

Yes, since today this is possible again: 

< base_url >/topic/17498-midibox-ng-release-feedback/?do=embed&embedComment=177244&embedDo=findComment

 

Note that this will change the entire session, not only the .NGC file
Which means that you’ve to duplicate the .NGR script
