Supercontrol issue???

Question

iPhone 6 w/iOS 10.2.1

MD Next: 2.9.0 (201702281433)

Is there any issues with supercontrols sending incorrect values to subcontrols?

I cannot tell if it's a bug or user error on my end. LOL…

Comments

lots more detail (and a simplest possible example) would really help, please.

Supercontrol is a toggle button. The subcontrol is a picker with 4 named ticks. When pressed, the supercontrol does not send the correct values to the subcontrol. I can send the layout if need be.

if you can send the page -- or a new page, built from scratch -- with just the two controls to support that would be great. Refer to this QA 5778 so we don't go mad, thanks.

Will do. Thanks!

Answer 1

Picked up your page. The issue is that you must set MIDI values on the supercontrol relative to the 0-127 range (or whatever its range is). So you cannot use 0, 1, 2, 3 for 4 sub ticks. Instead you need to use 0 / 3 * 127 (0), 1/3 * 127, 2/3 * 127, and 3/3 * 127 (127)... If these numbers don't work exactly, I might have the math a tiny bit off (need to use 128 and then subtract one), but for 4 ticks (or 10 or whatever) these numbers should work out perfectly.

Thanks. I never knew that's how supercontrols worked,
