I would like to make 4 of the top row of Assignable Knobs send the same kind of notes as the tempo knob does currently.
The end result is to us the apc's Assignable Knobs to control the 4 x encoders for pan, tilt and so on on a ma2 I have created macro's within ma2 to move the encoders by tapping one macro to move it ccw and another macro for cw. so i would like to have midi which reacts like the tempo does with the notches.
I refer to the tempo knob as i have got this to do what i want by simply having 2 translators which change the cc to on note's and one translator sending a value at full 127 then the other at o.
I have mapped all the other button's and led's as desired this is one thing i couldn't figure out.
I opened your file then compared the difference, now it work’s.
but now every time i open different presets with in bome software now and it freezes for a while, and the pc run’s hot, i load task manager to see what’s happening at i see that the cpu bumps up to 50% could there be a reason why this may be happening?

Hi, not without looking at your project file. The file I sent you won't cause that but it is possible to incorrectly write rules or translators to drive CPU usage up. If you don't feel like sharing your project file publicly, you can send it to me in email and I will take a look.

I fixed the project file you sent. Apparently you had entered some random text into an incoming raw MIDI field. It is important that when you are entering into the raw MIDI field that you only put valid raw MIDI data. I had to remove that preset so you will have to re-create it.
I sent the corrected project file in email along with a text file of the removed preset.
The first hint that something was wrong is that when opening the project file you get an error message that says "Invalid MIDI Message".
I'm checking to see if there is a way to halt the project if this occurs instead of having the projec just hang.
Ideally it should call out the translator that created the issue and then halt allowing the user to fix it instead of just hanging MT Pro. I'm not sure if that will be possible, however. In the meantime just be extremely careful with any translator that uses raw MIDI.

Thanks Steve, one thing that still stands, how can i grab the two different rr values and send them as two different translators.
Another way of explaining what i want to archive:
when the rr value = 1 translate: on note 61 channel 1 velocity pp (ma macro 1)
when the rr value = 127 translate: on note 61 channel 2 velocity pp (ma macro 2)

SJC>Example
Incoming - CC 24 on MIDI CH 1 any value set value to rr
Rules:
// MIDI CH 1
if rr==1 then pp==1 then oo=0
//MIDI CH 2
if rr==127 then oo = 1
// default pp value set to whatever you want
pp=0
if rr==1 then pp=12
if rr==127 then pp=56
Outgoing - Note 61 on MIDI channel 00 velocity pp

The same. These are all using local variables so as long as the incoming trigger is different you can use the same local variable names and they will not interfere with each other.
sent the updated file, i have added all the out going notes which i need to trigger when each of the knobs are turned left or right.
SJC> I see you left out the other rules for the first part you wanted
//part 1 convert absolute to relative
rr=0
if qq>ga then rr=1
if qq<ga then rr=127
if qq==127 then rr=1
if qq==0 then rr=127
ga=qq
//part 2 covert to note and MIDI channel
// Default to MIDI CH 1
oo=0
//MIDI CH 2
if rr==127 then oo=1
// default pp value set to whatever you want
pp=0
if rr==1 then pp=12
if rr==127 then pp=56
I’m posting the solution here but will also update your project file posting the solution into 2 of your translators.
You also didn’t have the outgoing MIDI channel set to oo and you had the wrong variable for incoming value
One side affect is that the notes continue as you continue to turn right or left. If you only want the note to go out once for each direction (no duplicates), I’l have to add some more rules.
aha, I’ve checked the file above and ma doesn’t work with control change notes, as per before with the out put i would need to take the outgoing velocity’s 1 and 127 and changing them into 2 translators, as when i turn the knobs left (velocity 127) i need to trigger one ma macro’s with a on note then when i rotate the knob the other way (velocity 1) i need to trigger another macro with an on note.
