  • APC40 with OSCulator and Ableton Live (chromatic MIDI notes)



    I want the APC40's pads to be chromatic MIDI notes. The current setup is as follows:


    APC40 to Ableton Live (not used as a control source, only tracking notes)...

    Ableton Live MIDI out to OSC MIDI input port...

    - I modify the APC40 pads to make them chromatic notes

    OSC output port to Ableton Live MIDI in.


    OSCulator picks up APC40 information and reads it like this:


    /midi/note/1

    0: pitch

    1: velocity

    2: trigger


    I then click pitch and select Edit > Demux, which then looks like this:


    /midi/note/1


    I press a pad and then the midi note number displays like this:


    /midi/note/1

    57

    0: velocity

    1: trigger


    if I add an event type to "1: trigger" (ie: MIDI note / C1) then we're in business, except its going to be C1 across a row because each "column" of pads on the apc40 has the same MIDI notes, split on 8 MIDI channels.


    So I need to figure out a way to separate notes by MIDI channel. Is this possible? I hope I included enough information in this post.


    Thanks again,

    Art

    Hi Art,


    If the midi notes are sent on 8 different MIDI channels, then you will get 8 different messages:


    /midi/note/1

    /midi/note/2

    /midi/note/3

    ...

    Then you can "demux" each of these messages, and will get access to each notes of each columns of you APC40.


    Cheers,

    Cam
