fx combo question
fx combo question Posted on: 12.04.2011 by Magdalen Mermis say ive got buttons 1-4 assigned to an fx.. i hold them down one after the other and the parameter changes. (1/2 - 1/4 - 1/8 etc).. and then when i release them 4-1 to go back to the fist button i pressed, the fx turns off after any button is released.any idea how i would map fx to stay on until the last button is released. hope that makes sense.. | |

| Tatum Ansaldo 13.04.2011 | I was just going with what he said he's already got mapped. You could of course just do the same thing with 1 modifier, setting the value to 1 for button 1, 2 for button 2 etc. btw derschaich, this is a different issue to the beatmash sequence, this is just arranging 4 pages on the same buttons with modifiers. |
| Allene Manitta 13.04.2011 | ... and waste 4 modifiers... sorry but has anyone tried my proposal yet? |
| Tatum Ansaldo 13.04.2011 | set an off command (mode=direct, value=0) for every other modifier on each. eg. buttons a, b, c & d are modifiers 1, 2, 3 & 4. button a would have a toggle for M1, and a direct off command for M2, M3, & M4. button b would have a toggle for M2, and a direct off command for M1, M3, & M4. button c would have a toggle for M3, and a direct off command for M1, M2, & M4. button d would have a toggle for M4, and a direct off command for M1, M2, & M3. this is fine, because if the modifier is already off, the command will do nothing. |
| Magdalen Mermis 12.04.2011 | thanks that article helped answer some of my other questions. one issue i am stuck with though.. i am mappign my x1 and have 4 buttons as 4 modifiers, so i have 4 pages of different commands. currently when i press one, it is on and when i press it again it is off. so if i want to press any of the others i need to turn it off first. how can i map it so when i press any of the other modifiers, the previous one turns off automatically? |
| Allene Manitta 12.04.2011 | have this problem, too. found no solution so far. maybe some fancy modifier action: Button 1: M1=1 for M1=0 (Hold); change parameter to 1 for M1=1; turn on Beatmasher for M1=1; change parameter to 1 for M1=2; change parameter to 1 for M1=3; change parameter to 1 for M1=4 Button 2: M1=2 for M1=0 (Hold); change parameter to 1/2 for M1=2; turn on beatmasher for M1=2; change parameter to 1/2 for M1=1; change parameter to 1/2 for M1=3; change parameter to 1/2 for M1=4; Button 3: M1=3 for M1=0 (Hold); change parameter to 1/4 for M1=3; turn on beatmasher for M1=; change parameter to 1/4 for M1=1; change parameter to 1/4 for M1=2; change parameter to 1/4 for M1=4; Button 4: M1=4 for M1=0 (Hold); change parameter to 1/8 for M1=4; turn on beatmasher for M1=4; change parameter to 1/8 for M1=1; change parameter to 1/8 for M1=2; change parameter to 1/8 for M1=3; this sceme should work out THEORETICALLY... |
| Tatum Ansaldo 12.04.2011 | ah crap. Read flashflooder's super combos article, that covers using multiple buttons for the same effect in sequence. You can probably do it by changing the beatmash on command to toggle, then adding an increasing modifier that goes up with every button pressed no matter what order, then putting a decrease command on each button for the same modifier inverted, then putting a condition of Mx=1 for the beatmash off command (direct, value=0,also inverted, for every button). |
| Donovan Mandy 12.04.2011 | If you release any of the buttons though, the beatmasher turns off. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 12.04.2011 | but if you have 4 held down and the others released, press 3 then release 4, press 2 then release 3 etc, it should stay on? |
| Magdalen Mermis 12.04.2011 | its for the beatmasher so if i was to select 3-1 on the way back down, the fx would start over from a new part of the song and not the position where i originally pressed 1 |
| Tatum Ansaldo 12.04.2011 | You might be better off just repressing 3-1 as you want to go back down. |
