Hello again,
I am exploring ways to use osculator and a wiimote as a percussive instrument.
The basic approach is to associate a MIDI note with a wii parameter. In the attached image, I have setup /wii/2 to send MIDI note E3 when the acceleration is triggered. This is functional, but sends a limited/fixed velocity, removing the option of dynamics; and this approach has little variety in sounds (only one pitch is sent).

With /wii/1, I am trying to enhance this by using the MIDI Note w/ Params feature, associating velocity with the wii velocity parameter -- and trying to associate a _limited_ set of note-pitches with another parameter (such as wii-pitch or roll). My MIDI percussion instrument has a useful subset of sounds in MIDI keys C3 (60) through C5 (72). Starting small, I was hoping to use the scalings page to limit output to only a few MIDI note-pitches (60-62). *** However, this setting keeps converting to a floating point equivalent. (How)Can I force an integer output value for MIDI Note Parameters?
many thanks,
