Map effect on button to blink?
Posted on: 29.12.2012 by Julian Ispas
is that possible?

i have a vci 400, i have mapped alot pre-set effects on the pad buttons. and when i press on 1 of them (for example flange effect would turn on).

so my set up now is that when the LED is ON from any of the buttons mean there is a preset effect mapped.
my only indication that im using that effect is when the LED is OFF

is there away to make it BLINK instead of OFF?

help please,

i might believe this is impossible. being trying different stuff for hours

i was hoping the effect on controls the blinking. is it not doing the way i want it. ...because these presets are toggle presets. not hold presets.

but thanks for your help stewe, i dont want to trouble you anymore...i feel bad
Here I will pick up for him, Do you want it to only blink when held down or toggle?

I see your MIDI is set to 'All Ports' do you use second controller in your setup? In any case, set MIDI to VCI400 to be sure.

Should it behave as:

Make sure to clear modifier condition (M1=1) out of 'button 1' first and ADD in > Modifier 1 > button-hold > value 1...

Leave modCon M1=1 for beat phase.

really? you got it to work? what the....i know right...it should be as simple as evening and day. but it doesnt like me for some reason.

so u do

add in - button 1 - effect unit 2 - *learn any button* - modifier m1-1
add out - beat phase - *learn the same button* - modifier m1-1

correct?

That should work dude, it's pretty simple mapping not to...

I can make quick video to prove my statement.
Julian Ispas
29.12.2012
ofcourse, what ever the modifier i use on the button 1....i used it on beat phase
Kellie Myrum

Did you use modifier to engage blink?
Julian Ispas
29.12.2012
yup, this is on an all new fresh mapping page...to avoid conflicting.

i would like to believe this is mappable
Kellie Myrum
29.12.2012
That is totally mappable, make sure you don't have any other conflicting LED output commands mapped for same pad. Start new mapping and map only this few commands to test.

yes i have mapped 8 presets into 8 button pads.


i have tried for with the "Beat Phase" numerous of time, none of them work.

this is how i have it....maybe im during something wrong.

add in - button 1 - toggle - effect unit 2 - *learn one of the button pads*

add out - button 1 - *learn the SAME button pad* - check invert - **** when the effect is off the LED is lit, and OFF when effect is on****

add out - beat phase - *learn the same button* - **** here i messed with the controller range with different min/max values****

nothing works.

this beeat phase method works for the PLAY/PAUSE button.....i dont know why it doesnt work for the effect on.
add out - phase beat -

I assume you've mapped presets to 8 button pad? Modifier can help you with idea..

M1=1 ; M1=2 ; M1=3 ; M1=4
M1=5 ; M1=6 ; M1=7 ; M1=0

All values should be set to 'HOLD'. Now map 'Beat Phase' to all buttons and dedicate modifier conditions of each button.
