Adding values and sending as one

Question

Admin Note: Changed this to Suggestions

Is there way to add the values of two controls and send those added values as one value?

I have a device that breaks patches into 10 banks of 10 patches each. The numbering of the patches (accessed via program changes) is 0-99. I'd like to set up two controls: a bank control that sends 0, 10, 20, etc. and a patch control that sends 0-9.

So selecting the second value of the bank contol and the third value of the patch control would send 10+3 and access program 13.

This would make things much simpler. Otherwise I have to set a single control with 100 ticks.

Hi there. There's no way to do that currently, and it's also the first time I've seen this suggested. It's related to, but different from, being able to do bit modifications via a supercontrol, but... it's different.

About Named Ticks: Note that you can do the better stuff using the Edit Text box. I typically figure out what I need to do in Excel, get it to text, and then bring it over.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks. I had a feeling I was asking for something that just didn't exist. Something like that could get ugly pretty quick anyway. So I solved it by having 10 knobs, one for each bank, that have 10 values. It's eight more controls than I wanted, but still works great.

I'll check out the edit text box also. Thanks for that suggestion. I do a lot of named ticks.

No problem. Also another thing to consider is "send current value" if you happen to have multiple controls. It would allow you to dial in the value on one and then send them all at once with a super. Probably not relevant to this situation, but good to know. Thanks!
