Change "box numbers" with a midi controller


#1

Hello! I'm a newbie with Axoloti and I even have the right vocabulary (I meant I don't really know the right terminology) so maybe it's a little difficult to understand or it's a really stupid question... So I apologise in advance. Well I'm working with a LFO (object is called: drj/LFO/multi wave sync) and I'm trying to control the number on the "wave selector" box (and the clockdiv box to) with a midi controller. Is that possible? I'm quite sure I'm trying to do something very easy but I'm not thinking about it the right way .. any suggestions will be very appreciated!.

It is currently not possible to control those integer boxes with midi.

But there are a few work arounds that you could try. I don't have time at the moment, but later today I may have a suggestion for a work around.

Stay tuned :wink:

This should do it. You can right-click on the radio buttons and assign a midi cc to it. For the clockdiv, this wasn't an option, because the range is 0-128. Instead i added an input, which is just added to the parameter; connect any sort of ctrl object to it, which in turn you can put a midi cc to.

@Captain_Burek beat me to it :slight_smile:

@Captain_Burek The index of the switch instruction should begin at 0, otherwise the first two wave buttons select triangle, and square wave is never selected.

thanks! That work!! CC change waveform... a little tricky to control cause a guess it thats the first 5 cc values so only the very beginning of the knob its doing the selection... and the midi clock think im not able to make it work,Im sure its my fault I guess not connecting the right Ctrl object to it... ANY WAY last night I wasn't able to get it..(I see now you have to reprogram an object.. thats too much complicated for my newbie level...far over my head :sweat_smile: . so I decided to make my own lfo ,that way I can send cc to change waveforms . it works but I didn't have the same luck with midi sync as I don't really don't understand how a LFO its been synchronised to a external source.
Slowly im starting to understand how thinks work inside axoloti world but Im still a baby...
thanks a lot for your time!!

Try this way... the waveform is selected with a dial, roughly divided in five sections, so you can midicc it with a pot controller in a easy way lfo_exp.axp (12.2 KB)
