Triggering RunSection execution

MIDIbox NG
1

This works:

EVENT_BUTTON id=1 fwd_id=LED:40 button_mode=OnOff type=Meta meta=RunSection:15

 

but any other kind of method to launch a RunSection I’ve tried has not succeeded.

In particular I’d like to launch a RunSection following an encoder change:

EVENT_ENC id= 66 hw_id= 66 fwd_id=BUTTON:1 fwd_to_lcd=1 chn=1 type=ProgramChange range=0:127 label="^prgch"

 

I’ve tried to forward to other types of EVENT_ that have meta=RunSection but nothing works except the pressing the button that has meta=RunSection.

 

What is a working method to forward from an encoder change to trigger a RunSection execution?

I’m surprised! Could you please give me a concrete example for a fwd combination which doesn’t work?

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.

#this works
EVENT_BUTTON id=1 fwd_id=LED:40 button_mode=OnOff type=Meta meta=RunSection:15

#this don't
###Dump request
EVENT_BUTTON id=500 type=Meta meta=RunSection:15 button_mode=OnOff
####Progchange -> Dump request
EVENT_ENC id= 66 hw_id= 66 fwd_id=BUTTON:500 fwd_to_lcd=1 chn=1 type=ProgramChange range=0:127 ports=1000100000001000 enc_speed_mode=Slow:4 label="^prgch"

 

Here’s the NGR

if ^section == 15

    LCD "@(1:1:1)about to..."  
	LOG "about to..."
    delay_ms 1000
	LCD "@(1:1:1) dump "  
	LOG "dump"
	
exit
endif

With “fwd=BUTTON:500” you will forward a the value to the button, but this won’t trigger a MIDI event.

This is intended - e.g. let’s assume the case, that you forward a value from a button to a LED - in this case you definitely don’t want that the LED sends a second MIDI event.

 

The usage of EVENT_SENDER should help here.

Try this:

 

 

##dump request
EVENT_SENDER id=500 type=Meta meta=RunSection:15
####Progchange → Dump request
EVENT_ENC id= 66 hw_id= 66 fwd_id=SENDER:500 fwd_to_lcd=1 chn=1 type=ProgramChange range=0:127 ports=1000100000001000 enc_speed_mode=Slow:4 label=“^prgch”

Works! (I thought I’d tried this) 

Thanks TK!

Now, to a closely related matter:

For a bank change, I need to follow the bank change CC with the current ProgramChange+Dump request.

but

###Bank Select -> Progchange -> Dump request
EVENT_ENC id= 65 hw_id= 65 fwd_id=ENC:66 fwd_to_lcd=1 chn= 1 type=CC cc=0 range=0:7 ports=1000100000001000 enc_speed_mode=Slow:4 label="^banksel"

 

this updates the program change LCD with the bank change value. Additionally, it does not result in the sending of ProgramChange, just bank CC.

 

[edit] it does trigger the RunSection associated with ENC:66 though [/edit]

 

I would just like to trigger transmission of the existing program change value.

How to do this?

this updates the program change LCD with the  bank change value.

 

of course, because fwd_id will forward the received value to the next event

(e.g. forwarding a button value to a LED)

 

 

 

I would just like to trigger transmission of the existing program change value.

 

E.g. you could use the “trigger” command in your .NGR script to trigger the transmission of ENC:65 and ENC:66

This seems to work o.k, thanks TK.
