SEQUENTIAL bank select and program change question

Question

Hi

I would like to have one slider that would send a combination bank change and program change and send only when i let go of the slider. It would need to send a bank 0 and then an increasing program change up to 128 the switch to bank 1 and a program change and so on up to 400 places. Is this possible? I do have a slider that goes to 128 and a seperate bank change knob now but think it would be cool to have one slider that does it all.

Hi and thanks for your question. The answer lies somewhere in sequential subcontrols. I'll have to get into this later on today. How many of these will you have? It's going to be a bit of a hack IF I can find a solution, because we need to get the program changes to repeat.

Best!

Hi
Don't bother spending time on this. It isn't a big deal. I thought there might be a quick fix for this. I am having so much fun with this app and I realize it can't do everything for every piece of equipment ever made. I thought there might be some other kind of sysex message or something that would do this. I feel like I am getting $1000 worth of fun for 18.99

Thanks

Awesome, I just dropped an answer to this too. Thank you so much for your kind words and your continued interest. Definitely 1) check out @mididesigner on Twitter to see what's up and 2) leave a review if you dig the app, although I suspect that was yours yesterday.

Answer 1

NOTE: To do bank change then program change in the normal way, it's quite easy with MIDI Designer. See here: http://mididesigner.com/qa/23/bank-change-then-program-change. [OP is referring to a different situation in which the bank changes, then the program changes sequentially until the end of the bank]

Thanks for your question. This is possible using some absurd hacks with sequential subcontrols, but it's not worth trying since it will be kudgey.

In one of the next releases, we'll include bank-prog change as a message type, so you'll be able to do this directly.
