Making my own controller - button question
Making my own controller - button question Posted on: 26.01.2011 by Jessi Callum Hi!I'm building my own controller, like my midi-fighter but this is gonna be a bit different I'll keep you updated and there might be an article with pictures, tips and videos. But my question is about the buttons. I'm gonna have 6 arcadebuttons and beside them i'm believeing about about having 5 buttons for choosing deck A-D and loop mode. My question is : Can one map the buttons so that when the "loop"-button has been pressed the 6 buttons does slicing and when the "Deck A"-button has been pressed (once, not holding it down) the 6 arcade buttons is controlling the Cue points and so on. Is this possible? | |

| Jessi Callum 25.01.2011 | Good idea! Didn't believe about that! I'll keep u posted, i believe im gonna come back with a video/pics /article.. Have some cool ideas.. thanks for your help guys! |
| Janyce Henningson 25.01.2011 | Yep that will work but might become confusing knowing which deck is focused if you don't have led feedback. |
| Jessi Callum 25.01.2011 | Well i thought the loop button would work with the active deck ( i have 4 deck buttons). Or am i getting it all wrong? Do I need 4 loop buttons for every deck to? or just have 4 regular deck buttons (A-D) and the loop button to work with the active deck? |
| Allene Manitta 25.01.2011 | yep, if i got you right, this is absolutely possible. just ride the modifiers... have the [loop]/[A] button on Direct, and give them different values of the same modifier (0-8) have the 6 arcade buttons mapped as you require + modifier-state as mentioned above. |
