I am trying to get proper LED feedback from DJAY Pro to Grid but can't get it done. It's such a basic functionality but really hard to get done with grid.
I have 4 Grid modules i want to use as a DJ Controller for DJAY Pro: 2x TEK2, 1 PBF4, 1 EN16
I want the LEDs on the modules show whats happening in the software. If i switch ON the FX, i want that the appropiate LED is ON (and stays that way!)
I tried the Universal MIDIRX snippet, but this did not work. Then i tried the MIDIRX Note on/Note Off System config and this worked (partly) with the TEK2 after i changed the local e_n variable from "par-32" to "par-22". Now, the module LEDs change when getting a message, but unfortunatly only when coming from the DJAY application; if i switch on the monitor button in the app, i get the LED on as well, but if i press the button on the module, it does NOT keep the LED on. Well, half the problem solved.
But then i tried the same config on the PBF4. Not only it did not work, now the messages are mixed up. When the"play" button on the TEK2 is blinking, a LED on a PBF4s Fader is blinking correspondingly...
It seems to be unneccesary complicated to get the LEDs right. How could i get this done?

Hey, we currently working on a MIDIRX block, so it's will be easy to do. Until I can offer you help. Upload your profile to the profile cloud make it Public and I check it

This is the TEK2 Bottom left: grid-editor://?config-link=YZ4alXy0wdBwdiQLNJrK
filzer23·
and the PBF grid-editor://?config-link=mY7lucNGLLKF6oRWojcB
filzer23·
and this is the other tek grid-editor://?config-link=bRcBHhH1IDxm2ELk5Spo
Greg-Orca·
could you make it public and just send the name of the configs please?
Greg-Orca·
I think the block will be ready on end of February
filzer23·
my username is @filzer
filzer23·
But maybe its easier to wait for february!

check first the pbf4, I just uploaded the universal midi rx and it's works
Greg-Orca·
system element> setup (turn off right up the minimalist mode)
Greg-Orca·
use the midi monitor to check if your software is really sending out the midi messages, eg here the Ableton is sending (blue message)

hey thank you. i tried, but with 4 modules. i have the universal midirx on both the PBF4 and the TEK2 below. Now i have blinking Play button (on the TEK2 that is correct) but the LEDs above the Faders 1 nd 4 on the PBF4 are blinking also
(the PBF4 leds are inverted so thats prob why they are OFF when the others are ON
filzer23·
midi monitor shows incoming signals
filzer23·
ah, and what does not work when using the universal midirx snippet: the play buttons only work once, then stop to react. (i can remember now, thats why i changed to the MidiRX Note on/ off Configuration for the TEK2...
filzer23·
also: this is the behaviour with only universal midirx on the pbf4 (everything else cleared)
found it, need to specify on which channel you are receiving the message
Greg-Orca·
local ch = e[1] if ch ~= 0 then return end
Greg-Orca·
for the first row of the moudles, PBF4 and EN16
Greg-Orca·
Greg-Orca·
for the second row (tek)
`local ch = e[1]
if ch ~= 12 then
return
end`
Greg-Orca·
Use the universal midirx only on the system element>setup
filzer23·
so my djay app should send Midi return on these channels?
filzer23·
ch 13 for top and ch 12 for down?
Greg-Orca·
ch 1 on top row
Greg-Orca·
which is ch 0 in the code
Greg-Orca·
secodn row is ch13 ch 12 in the code
Greg-Orca·
is it prossible in the djay pro?
filzer23·
yes you can configure the return channel
Greg-Orca·
super
filzer23·
right now i am sending to channel 1
Greg-Orca·
if you connect modules in the second row then the midi ch automatically offsets
Greg-Orca·
but the CC and Note messages the same
Greg-Orca·
and the midi rx code didn't checked the channel, so it controlled the same Note/CC
filzer23·
so now i made the changes and now the blinking is ONLY on the pbf... i think it should be the other way round...
Greg-Orca·
check the midi monitor
Greg-Orca·
what you recieving
filzer23·
somehow the script is blocking the button
Greg-Orca·
double check your config in the djay pro
Greg-Orca·
tek2 sending ch 13
Greg-Orca·
djay pro sending back ch1
filzer23·
should it send back on 13?
filzer23·
ok. changed the Midi return from djay pro to CH 13. loaded universal midirx snippet onto tek2. changed the script like above. now, tek2 only sends 0 no 127 anymore, button stays ON and i cannot stop...
Greg-Orca·
from the lookup delete the button
Greg-Orca·
propbably that helps
Greg-Orca·
the universal midi rx also adjusting the value of the button. i nableton it's works normally but amybe djaypro sends it differently
filzer23·
this helped, button works again! @user thank you for your help. i really hope the midirx block is coming soon and we will have it much easier...
