Re: [LAD] automation on Linux (modular approach)

There is no way to differentiate between source controller types (slider/knob) if it just sends a MIDI CC message. It is possible to remap controllers on your surface to not send CC but send RP/NRP/SYSEX (or arbitrary combinations) and perhaps these are not interpreted to expectation. A lot of the surfaces have default pages for compatibility with specific apps such as an 'Abbleton Live' setup, these will typically not interoperate well with another app as the receiver. What is the softsynth and don't you see any difference using any MIDI dump tools when you move the two controller types on the surface? There is no reason why this should not work however you will get the best results if the surface just sends a CC. I had the same stuff from my PCR-30 default settings, some of the sliders sent RP messages and needed to be reprogrammed. Nick. "we have to make sure the old choice [Windows] doesn't disappear”.

It seems that on Linux midi applications differentiate between knobs and sliders. So if you try to attach a knob of the soft synth to a slider of a midi keyboard, it will not work. On Windows it does not matter and moving a slider would just move the knob. What is this all about? _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
