Patch loading in 1.0.12

#1

I've gone through numerous posts about loading patches and it seems that things have changed since most of them have been made. What is the most up to date approach for this?

So far I have tried creating this patch as a test to see if I could inc/dec the pgm internally. (Have been using a NanoKontrol 2 which does not send PGM Change.)

Added to the preferences/controller section and it seems unable to load it. Just FTR here are my preferences.

The file is labelled "counter.axp" and it is in the "Objects" subdirectory of my local folder.

you need a way to select patches from the sdcard, i don't see this in your screenshot. see attached picture for an example, it will react to program changes. (this would then be your controller object and the patches need to be named accordingly)

#3

Thanks for your help.

So naming the files PATCH_01, PATCH_02 in this case should work?

Can I swap the pgm module for a CC driven increment/decrement counter?

#4

try it, should work yes, never tried it myself though

#5

with 1.0.12 you should not need to do this manually

there are 2 parts to this:
a) patch change
there is a controller object in the factory library called
controllers/pgmchange
use this as a controller object

b) patches to switch
these are now stored in a 'patch bank'
file -> new patch bank
add patches
then click 'upload patch bank'

fyi
upload table, just uploads this table,
upload - uploads the selected patch,
upload patch bank, uploads all the patches and the patch bank table

OK regardless of which approach I take i'm stuck at the "unable to created controller for: " error message.

So far i've tried:
1) creating a new patch - putting the controllers/pgmchange object inside it and saving it to my local objects directory

2) referencing the object directly in the library - this ended up working, not sure what the problem was originally. Looks like I will need to find/use a MIDI controller that sends program change messages.

3) using variations on /pgmchange, pgmchange, objects/pgmchange, objects/pgmchng etc...

Is it not possible to create a custom controller object that will use CC rather than ProgChange?

#7

Controller objects are specified in preference

File -> preferences -> controller object.

Yes you could use cc instead
Look at the program change version and adapt

( it seems more logical to me to use program change , that's kind of what the midi message is for :wink:)

#8

I can't get away from the "unable to created controller for: " error for everything I make. Is there a protocol for saving objects that is different to saving patches?

( it seems more logical to me to use program change , that's kind of what the midi message is for :wink:)

I agree but none of my hardware midi controllers send program change!
For now i'll settle for Lemur on the iPad. At least it's highly translatable!

#9

they should be saved as sub-patches (axs) , and then also should be in a library.
(documents/patches ... is your 'local library')

#10

OK cool, thanks!
I wasn't saving as a sub-patch!
Now I can start to have fun with my Axoloti!
