CW1_CART_NAMES_GET

Post by Regulate »

Hi Bernd,

Another question :). How do i use the CW1_Cart_Names_Get command? I would like to use that list(of string) to put on some leds on a novation launchpad. Can i run something after he spills out every line or should i use the inlist condition? I can't find anywhere how i can use that list.

many thanks in advance :).

That command is designed if you code your one interface.
Why would need a name in order turn an led on or off??? A name would be useless, you should use the ${cartid} macro to retrieve the number/index if the cart in order to turn the led on/off.

There are even some threads here in the user forum to search for.
However, I don’t know exactly what you would like to achieve, thus I can not tell you exactly ;-)
Typically you use the OnCartwallPause/Play events to turn leds in or off.

I searched but can't find anything that does what i want it do to. What i wanna achieve is: when the oncartwallchangedevent runs(occurs), i want proppfrexx to turn on the corresponding leds on the launchpad. for example: i load a list containing 30 jingles he needs to turn on 30 leds on the lauchpad.

All commands as well as all macros are listed in the Appendix of the User Manual.
You might still use the above mentioned events and macros, as changing the cartwall lib would also trigger pause reap. load event.

The ${cartid} macro cannot be used with the OnCartwallChanged event.
But you can use that event to turn all lights off, as later the individual cart will be loaded, which triggers their pause/load events.

You might the. Use the *[TOINT macro to transform to ${cartid} to your corresponding launch pad button index and MIDI message.
I am not a launchpad expert nor do I know the launchpad MIDI commands, but I know, that several user have used it here with ProppFrexx just like you want it.

Bernd,

i looked everywhere but can't find the load/pause events of a specific cart. The oncartpause event doesn't trigger when changing a cartwall.

See general setting, section Events/Commands and then expand the Cartwall node.

I am currently not in the office, so I cannot look up the exact macro name, but it should be something like: ${iscart1paused}, ${iscart2paused} etc.
these can also be used together with the conditional EXEC_COMMAND2.
See here how it is used with the OSC api, it is not
Midi, but the event files contain the same logic as you need it - you would just have to map it to your midi commands.
When you download the zip, please inspect the contained event mapping files to what events and commands / macros are being used when switching the cartwall.
