>>Serious question: what do y'all do about the 1980's-era idiocy of MIDI,
in that it only has 127 steps in its CC's (sheesh, not even a lousy
byte!). Do you burn two controllers with fine/coarse adjustments? If
so, how do you determine the scale for fine and/or coarse?<<<br><br>one thing i have done in pd is turn my midi controller into an accelerator. it's a bit different to use, but is really good for filter sweeps and stuff like that.
<br><br>quick explanation:<br><br>1) scale the midi data into a nice curve between -1 and 1
<br><br>[ctlin]<br>|<br>[- 64]<br>|<br>[/ 64]<br>|<br>[expr pow($f1, 3)]<br><br>2) add a flat spot in the middle of the curve so that midi data between 55 ->75 will cause zero acceleration<br><br>[* 100]<br>|<br>[div 100]
<br>|<br>[/ 100]<br><br>3) use this acceleration data to feed a counter<br><br><br>(bit hard to draw here, so see attached patch)<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
