MIDI RX issue with BU16 - midi parameters not working

Hello

check the Universal MIDIRX profile and follow the profile description.

Let me know if you need more help.

Hello, thanks for the answer. Sadly it does not work. When using it to midi map ableton (as a test) it juste flashes very fast.

And it’s not what I would like to do. I’d like to be able to use the channel, command, note and velocity (value) of incoming midi messages to control the led. The leds would be independent from the buttons actually.

Is there any way to have access to those parameters ?

Maybe I’m wrong but to keep it simple I was placing the led control blocks inside of the button panel of each element. And activating the leds depending on incoming midi parameters. (But it never worked)

here's what I did to control the colors.
With the line on the first if being channel == 1 and message <= 159 and parameter == 0
And then I just got to use the value on the other ifs for each colors

I've also been trying with the Basic MIDIRX without much success

you can do it like this

this function will istening the incomming midi rx

we currently working on imporvie this with a normal actrion block, but until you need to code

function self.midirx_cb(self, event, header) command = event[2] param1 = event[3] value = event[4] if command == 176 and param1 == self:element_index() + 32 then if value == 0 then led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 255, 0, 0, 0) elseif value == 21 then led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 0, 255, 0, 0) elseif value == 42 then led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 0, 0, 255, 0) end end end

try it with ableton

and i Use CC message as command, so change it in the midid block

also put an intensity block

to make coloring easyer, you can convert it to code

It works !! Thank you so much ! I didn't knew that I actually had to load the code into the button section. Having a block for that would definitely make things way easier.

I managed to make it work in the various configurations I needed to.
Except that when I’m pressing the button it overwrites the color, put it green and then on the note off switch the light off. I tried emitting the same midi note with another button and the same thing happened.
The note I’m emitting is actually the same as the one used for the led except that it’s on another channel.
To you have any idea why it could happen ?
My code for the led being :

function self.midirx_cb(self, event, header)
command = event[2]
param1 = event[3]
value = event[4]
if event[2] >= 144 and event[2] <= 159 and event[3] == self:element_index() then
if value == 21 then
led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 0, 120, 255, 0)
elseif value == 42 then
led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 255, 120, 0, 0)
elseif value == 63 then
led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 255, 120, 0, 0)
elseif value == 127 then
led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 0, 255, 0, 0)
elseif value == 84 then
led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 255, 255, 0, 0)
elseif value == 0 then
led_color(self:element_index(), 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)
end
end
end

I managed to make it work anyway by using different notes, but I'm afraid another controler could mess it up

ok I just found out I forgot to add the midi channel to the code

yes , use if event[1] == ch then (here is your code )end

ch is your channel (0-15)

alos use this in the first line under the functionif header[1] ~= 13 then return end

that also filter off the midi messages which is not coming from the DAW

Is it necessary to listen to RX on the individual elements like this?

I'm having a very similar issue. Since the last firmware update, the Universal MIDIRX snippet has stopped working on my EN16. Before, I wasn't needing to call RX from the individual elements, having the function on System Setup did everything?

you can do it on the system element, I put this to all the buttons assuming the coloring will be different on the buttons

holy snap, i'm not the only one

i spent hours last night trying to get my pbf4 to get midi from ableton

universal midirx works perfectly, idk what happening 😄

Qq so lets say i want the led on the button to reflect the status in ableton

like mute/unmute state

so I add the code block to the system or to the button element?

in the setup here?

or in the system?

Thx I add that !!

just system element> Setup

correct?

i assume ctrl and value are params 1 and 2?

btw one thing, use v *2

bc leds birghtness is going from 0-256

from this FW

my setup btw, not to derail

I got a question about how to implement a line you gave, is it : if header[1] ~= 13 then (my code) return end ?

if header[1] ~= 13 then return end

just put this under the function first line

this blocks all the messages which is not coming from the DAW

ok thanks
