Cartwall cart loaded send a midi message

Post by Frank1977 »

hello,

I have a question about the cartwall and midi! If I make a new cart in the cartwall1 on the load of a audiofile that i have selected than I want too send A midi message to my launchpad So that the position on the controller have a light
that it is active. So if i have 12 jingles in my cartwall than on my launchpad there are
12 light on air. :)

I see not a appendix with the command "cartwall cart 1 on loaded.....do that" and in the manual.

Another question:

the controller : Launchpad mini mk2 it can work with red, green,yellow collours, on the cartwall right mouse click you can select type or cart color, Is this a option too work with the controller with midi and how too make it work with my controller?

Thanks frank

a) All cartwall events are listed in the general settings, e.g. there is the 'OnCartwallChanged' event, which is triggered when a new cartwall lib is selected and being displayed. E.g. this might be used to update your launchpad.
But there is no event available in case you manually add a new cart to an existing lib. Cartwall libs itself are seen as rather static than dynamic.
There are currently also no plans to add such events.

b) I don't know you controller and the related MIDI commands it needs. I assume you need to consult your controller manufacturer for more info. However, I assume, that there is no way to transmit the color of a cart in ProppFrexx to the controller. There is not even a related macro available.

The green, yellow, red colors can much better be used, in case a cart is selected, playing, looped etc.

Note, that there is a OSC sample available (which does not use MIDI, but OSC). This sample demos a lot of event options especially around the cartwalls, so you might take a look at it, as a pure reference/help for your launchpad integration.

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for the answers.

I'm gonnna look at the osc, and look for maybe intergration, the Answer about the cartwall lib is also a option for my launchpad.
