Trigger Keycode someties wont work

[malte0902]

Hi,

I send MIDI via a Cymatic LP16 Player to OSCulator. Sometimes I only get a yellow light, so the Keycode won't be triggered. Sometimes I get a green light and the Keycode will be triggered. This all happens with the same MIDI File. I simply want to send the Keycode Key125 (Arrow Down) to start the next scene in OBS Studio.
I will attach the MIDI file.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards
Malte

Dear Malte,

Could you also please share your OSCulator file?

Thank you,
Camille

Hello Malte,

What I see from the file you shared is that the Keycode 125 (arrow down) is triggered whenever a note is played on MIDI channel 1 or channel 2.
You need to "de-multiplex" the signal in order to see the notes, and attach and event to the note you want.

In order to do that, select the "pitch" argument, and choose Edit -> Demux, or hit Control-D.
Then play the note you want, for example C4 (60). It should result in the following mapping:

With this sub-message, you can assign the Keycode 125 to the note C4 (60).

Finally, you should make sur you chose a "Default target" application in the Parameters Window (Key Combos tab), in order to control the application even when it is not frontmost.


Best,
Camille
