i agree that this is big. this has the potential of being bigger than just "weirdo nym's cool setup"
i have a proposition, typo.
i think we should come up with a standardized button mode layout...
there are 0-127 midi notes and X number of controllable mpc functions via jjos2xl BUTTON mode
if we map those out, we could share key combinations and "macros" to send to our mpc to automate certain tasks. we spoke of this before but i really think it's time to move on it.
the standardization is the tricky part, as we all have kind of used button mode in our own ways so far
but i would totally reconfigure my setup if it meant that the community would give me new functionality.
i could then create a mpc voicecontrol howto
it would require the following programs, all of which can be installed for free:
glovepie
midi yoke
reaper
the glovepie script would load at startup...
folks could run the reaper prj and use their own daw of choice
very simple configuration would lead to people being able to voice control their mpc
ideas. let's take some time to think about this.
edit. here is our documentation:
http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/os2xl/button.htmi think i counted just 93 midi note controllable actions for jjos2xl.
they are listed below:
PLAY START, PLAY, STOP, OVER DUB, REC, BAR, STEP, CURSOR, MAIN, WINDOW, UNDO, SHIFT, TAP TEMPO, MODE, ERASE, FULL LEVEL, 16 LEVELS, NEXT SEQ, TRACK MUTE, BANK A - BANK D, F1 - F6, AFTER, SLIDER, LOAD, SAVE, TRACK MIXER, RECORD, TRIM, PROGRAM, PAD MIXER, MIDI/SYNC, OTHER, EFFECT, SEQ EDIT, STEP EDIT, GRID, SONG, TRACK01 - TRACK16, TRK 01 MUTE-TRK 16 MUTE, TRK 01 SOLO - TRK 16 SOLO, NUMERIC 0 - NUMERIC 9, NUMERIC +, NUMERIC -, NUMERIC ENTER, DATA +, DATA -
i say we put them in order exactly as given in the chart in the link...starting with midi note 0 and going as far up as they go (92 then??). if jj adds any more, we'll tack them on at the end. this is all back end stuff anyway, once the standardized BUTTON layout is loaded it's not something the user will deal with ever except to update it.
that way we can trade midi note combinations (raw midi files, even) to feed our mpcs and do stuff......
