Output a modifier from one controller to another?
Posted on: 23.07.2011 by Marvella Henage
Is this possible? I have an akai mpd26, which has 16 (4x4) pads I use for cue point juggling - 8 are mapped to deck a set/store hotcues 1-8, and 8 are mapped to deck b set/store hotcues 1-8.

However, i want to be able to delete hotcues by using the shift button on my vci-100 (i believe it sets mod 7=1) as a modifier read by the MPD. Is there a way to "output" the modifier condition set on one controller to another? Thus, i would hold shift on the VCI and hit a hotcue on the MPD, and it would delete that cue.

something like the full version of bomes would definately work. this is one of the reasons i started to write my own software (not finished yet). so i can just treat all of my controllers as one big control surface using any element of any to do anything i need.

you *can* however use the "all ports" method safely (mostly) so long as each device is using a different midi channel. all you need to ensure is that each device only listens to what it is supposed to.

edit: also, in your case, only the mpd26 needs to be set to "all ports"

Bummer, i'll have to find some way to map around it...

If you set the in/out ports to 'all ports' and made a unified all in one mapping, that would give you global modifiers. But to most likely outcome of that in 99.9% of cases is going to be a shitstorm of midi conflicts, so I wouldn't recommend it.
