Browser up/down encoder to keystroke MT pro

Hiya!

I'm trying to map an endless encoder to browse up/down my tracks; sending keystroke up/down.

Pretty much what's in here https://www.bomeloft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2347

But when I reach 127 I cannot go down, when I reach 0, I cannot go up..
So I added some more rules:
if pp==127 then pp=0
if pp==0 then pp=127
So it would reset the encoder value but it's not working.
So I set it up to activate a preset that sets encoder to 0 when 127 reached with a delay, and activate another when 0 is reached thats sets it back to 127 still with a delay. I mean it works but I'd like some more easy/stable setup..

PS: I cannot edit the encoder to relative mode in the controller editor because the remote script in Ableton overides it, and sets it back to absolute mode..

How can I solve this?

Hi,

Please see the attached file. There are two ways to address this type of issue.

1. Use a timer to send up keystrokes at a given rate if the encoder is above a given threshold and a down keystroke if it is below a given threshold.  For instance from 0-54 send down keystrokes continuously. If 74-127 send up keystrokes. If between 54 and 74, kill the timer so keystroke stop.
2. Use a button to disable output while you adjust the knob to give you more room for the knob.

Preset 0 in the attached file uses the timer method.  Preset 1 uses the button method.  Only enable one or the other depending on the method you want.

 

Hopefully this will give you what you need.

Hi Steve, thanks for your super fast answer !

Yeah I saw way 1 already in your tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjgmIUIS0SI

To be honest I prefer my solution, its actually working perfectly :) (its just that for me its not the best as I layer traktor/ableton on same midi channel so the remote script is interfering..)

I attach it for you to try it out, just remap all translators to 1 encoder !

Have a great day

Yes, this will work with encoders that you can change values remotely but not with pots or faders (unless they are motorized faders). Thanks for sharing!
