Can configuration switch be mapped onto a PO16 knob, instead of the mode button?

I ask this because on my PO16 the mode button is not responsive (possibly physical damage?). Sometimes it works, other times not, or jumps 2 configs, etc.
Thanks

Anyone can confirm/infirm?

if self:potmeter_value() == 127 then page_load(page_next()) elseif self:potmeter_value() == 0 then page_load(page_previous()) end

try this on a potmeter

dont forget to store it before try out

Thanks a lot will try it out!

it works once only, either jumps to page 2 (127) or back (0). But the second time it doesn't anymore. Actually, What I was trying to do is to be able to switch between midi channels so that I can assign the same potmenter to more instrument parameters on my dirtywave m8. Now I only have one midi channel per each of the 4 layers, so the rest of the 8 midi chanels remai unused. Are there other ways to implement this on the PO16?

I think I reached to an elegant solution: on one single layer, I assign one potmeter ("director") to generate a sequence (global var) from 0 to 16, the number of midi channels, while the rest of the 15 potmeters will be assigned the midi channel set by the director potmeter with their own CC control. This way, I have on one layer 16x15 midi paramters at my disposal. The beautiful part is that I light up only one led of 16, indicating the current active midi channel.

ch = math.floor(self:potmeter_value() / 8)
for i = 0, 15 do
led_value(i, 0, (i == ch) and 255 or 1)
end

don't forget to replace the local channel variable with the director one for each potmeter on the page:

This is neat!

The reason why page change only happened once in my assumption is because you would need to have that code on the 2nd page as well to go back as pages are separate memory workspaces

Yes, indeed, works like a charm with my M8. I guess on the EN16 (when I'll get a smooth one), it makes sense to select one of the 16 midi channels at the the press of the corresponding knob. This way the board remains symmetrical with access to 16^2 cc controls on one layer

Did you check out 64ctrl profile? That's made for en16 and gives easy access to parameter changes

If it's for the EN16, no, as I don't own that one yet. Guess it's not comparible with the PO16. Will keep in view though
