Since V8 allows it, I am using a MIDI controller to trigger macros using the new MIDI controller trigger. This works great. However I'm also trying to send a MIDI controller value change with the corresponding action (see picture below), but it doesn't seem to work properly. The MIDI controller is not set to the new value. I know this because the controller has a LCD display that shows its current value.
When I use Apple Mainstage, the controller value is sent properly to the MIDI controller. I also tested this with the trial version of BOME MIDI Translator Pro and it works properly. So I think my MIDI setup is correct.
Any idea why it wouldn't work? Don't hesitate to tell me if I can give you info to help you.
Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to answer my problem.
I am not a MIDI expert, and I tried to configure KB Maestro in Audio MIDI setup, but I'm probably doing something wrong because I can't make it work. I checked with MIDI Monitor, KB Maestro does send the midi packets on the right channel but it doesn't seem to get to the controller. It's also very possible that I don't understand how to send the values properly to my controller.
It's not very important though, so I'm putting this aside for the time being.
I just discovered an app called MidiPipe (from SubtleSoft) that allows to route midi messages from Keyboard Maestro to other Midi devices i.e. TouchOSC.
I programed TouchOSC to act as a HUD to my Behringer X-touch mini and I use both the X.Touch mini and TouchOSC to trigger macros in Keyboard Maestro
Thank you, i will give it a try when I have the time. I had abandoned the idea, and my MIDI controller is collecting dust somewhere, so I will first need to reinstall it.
