Programming Nomenclature and Bomes And Note Ranges On the Output side. for Paging a controller

So What I am looking for is to Translate a range of notes, So All Incoming Notes from a Drum pad get their channel Changed.

 

Incoming Any Note.

What I am not sure of is changing the channel and processing the entire range of notes, Without individual translators At the output side.

Thanks

Hi, you can do this with 2 translators.  One that handles note-on and the other that handles note-off. You capture the incoming note number in a local variable "pp" and then set the range of the notes you want in rules as such.

// put note range here

if pp<10 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action

if pp>80 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action

 

In my example I use note-off to set the next channel as follows. You only do that in note off as you always want note-on and note-off to align. In my example I start with MIDI CH 1 (ga=0) and go up to MIDI CH 16 (ga=15). But you can create any logic you want for setting the MIDI channel.  I store the outgoing MIDI ch number in local variable oo.

I use ga (which is a global variable) since it will be persistent across incoming triggers. Local variables oo,pp,qq,rr,ss,tt,uu,vv,ww,xx values do not survive once the translator has executed its outgoing action.
