Issues about the incoming midi cc

midi
#1

Hello,
Sorry if it's a dumb question but I don't find the answer by myself.
I'm doing a simple patch to control the clock of an Octatrack with a cc from a midi track.
So I send a cc with a midi track to the midi input of the axoloti, it modulates a square lfo who is routed to the "run" of a midi clock that is brings to the midi input of the Octatrack.

It works perfectly except for one thing.
The patch only works with the object midi/in/cc any, I plug the value output into the freq input of the square LFO.
But if I try to use the midi/in/cc object, I'm not able to modulate the freq input of the square LFO. I understand this is not the correct data (it's a cc data instead of a value data) but how can I use the value data ?

Thank you for the help !

Just a quick precision, I setted correctly the cc and channel on the midi/in/cc. (not as seen on the picture)

For example this doesn't work :

Hi, The run inlet on the clock object starts and stops the clock (the speed of the clock itself is controlled by the dial on the object).

The way you have it patched means the cc is controlling the speed of the lfo, and the the lfo is starting and stopping the clock repeatedly. I'm not sure why you have the lfo?

If you just want to send clock to the octatrack, connect a toggle button to the run inlet on the clock object (this becomes your play button, leave it switched on if you want the clock to start immediately when the patch starts running), and control the dial on the clock object with your cc to control the speed.

Hello, thanks for the answer. I didn't know that I can control directly the tempo of the clock with cc (I don't understand on which input I should plug the inlet), this is why I used a square lfo between cc and clock, a lfo is easy to modulate.
About the run inlet, it works like a regular clock, at every new cycle of the square LFO, it starts the clock and generates an impulsion (so basically, my clock is the rate of my square LFO).
I know this part of the patch seems weird but it's ok for me.

The problem I have is that I can't use a midi/in/cc object, when I connect the inlet from midi CC to pitch from the square lfo, it doesn't work. The only way to make it work is to use the "midi/in/cc any" and use the value output (but every CCs from every channel from the octatrack will chaque the value from the lfo, which is not good for me). How can I use properly the midi/in/cc object ? Should I use a kind of convertor to transform the midiCC output into a Value output ? Thank you, this is my beginning on the Axoloti, so I have some understanding issues.

It's ok, I've checked other topics about midi controlling, didn't think I had to set the global midi channel in the global settings of the axoloti and I haven't seen that I can directly assign control to knob. Sorry for this topic, took me some hours to finally get it.
