How to setup 6 Buttons with 64 midi values in relationship to each other!?

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Other/Unlisted Maker

I've got 6 Buttons in MD to activate the midi controller for part 1/ multi mode on my m-audio venom. 6 Controlers for multimode part1(2,3,4 has the same): Bend, Modulation, sustain, expression, Keyboard, midi receive.( each on and off) The midi Value is 0-63, so i can also take a knob to select the values and can use named ticks. But 6 buttons on/off are easier to access as 64 values in one knob.
So here is the main overview:

All buttons off midi hex is 0
first button (Bend on) midi hex is 01
Sec button (Modulation on) is 02
hex 03 is first and second button together on
hex 04 is Sustain on (button 3 only)
hex 05 is button 1+3 on (Bend+sustain) (mod button 2 is off and all others)
hex 10 is Keyboard on (button 5 only)
So button 1+2+5 on is hex 13 (3+4+6 are off)

All buttons on is hex 3F value 63

The venom win Software does so, i can watch the midi sysex while changing. But how to set up MD to do the same?
Is it managable with super controls or do i need the bit changer eventually?

The AddrH parameter is :
00 20KeyMap [PART1].CtrlEnable_f0 ~ 63

So my working MD Knob sends:
F0 00 01 05 21 00 02 0A 00 20 00 V F7
00 01 05 21 is the Venom
00 01 05 21 00 02 data dump
00 01 05 21 00 02 0A multi parameter
00 01 05 21 00 02 0A 00 20 key map part 1
V the value 0-63

The Venom manual marks it as followed:
(Sorry german, a part translated)

** KeyMap  [part].CtrlEnable_f  ist eine  Zusammenstellung von 6 Bits  mit  den folgenden Werten:
Bit0: 1  =  Marked,  that  the  Pitch Bend-Wheel  is activated.
Bit1:  2 = Markierung, dass  das  Modulationsrad aktiviert  ist.
Bit2: 4  =  Markierung,  dass  das  Sustain-Pedal  aktiviert ist.
Bit3: 8  =  Markierung,  dass  das  Expression-Pedal  aktiviert  ist. Bit4: 16  = Markierung, dass  die Klaviatur aktiviert  ist.
Bit5: 32  =  Markierung,  dass der externe MIDI-Eingang aktiviert  ist.


Hope it's easy to understand my technical english is not so good ;o)

I haven't read this very carefully, but my first question is: can you create the situation you want by MANUALLY pressing the 6 buttons? If so, then you could use a Preset for Groups to get what you want.

Thanks for your fast reply. Not really at all, i can create this six buttons but i.e all buttons on would be a total value of 63  (sysex hex 3F). Now pressing only first button (Bend) in this row off sends 3E.(switching on off sends 3F and 3E)
 If button 2 is also off it send 3C (switching on off sends 3C and 3E)
But now leaving button 2 stay off, lets button 1 send 3D and 3C for on and off. So now button 1 sends a different Value.

To describe it another way is :
 i've got a knob with 64 ticks and the 6 buttons.
The ticks for the knob are:
tick 1 is all off, tick 2 is Bend, 3 is mod, 4 is bend and mod, 5 is sustain, 6 is bend and sustain, 7 is mod and sustain, 8 is bend and mod and sustain, and so on to 64.
So the buttons should lit if the value on the knob is selected.

I've uploaded images from my Test page to see how it should look.(Second image) buttons manually switched on.

Okay so you're able to create the situation with named ticks, but you want to produce that output using the six buttons... So the answer is either: Bit Changers (https://mididesigner.com/qa/3386/what-are-bit-changers-in-midi-designer) and, if that doesn't work, you can use StreamByter to do whatever you need (we have it built in to MD as an IAP).

Thanks!
