Can Bome assign solo to particular channels with LED toggle working?

I read through some of the forum posts and tried to mess around with Rules not knowing what I was doing. So I added this Rule:

ga=ga^127

…and I set Outgoing Velocity to “ga”.

• and it seems working. Can you please check if that’s all that’s needed and whether this can cause issues in some circumstances that I’m not aware of? Can you suggest a more “robust” rule?

Here’s the project:

Hi, this will indeed work if you don’t use the global variable ga for anything else.

@stason99

Could you please modify your last project to include a proper rule for LED toggle (my rule was probably cumbersome but it worked). Apparently X-touch requires a separate incoming MIDI command to lit a pressed button’s LED, and same command with vel 0 to the LED to dim it.

Studio 1 should send the right command based on what the X-touch sends. For X-touch it will be a note on with the command note and velocity 127 for on and 0 for off. You may need to use raw MIDI data as output

So for example if you want to light the LED with 90 00 7F, you would turn it off with 90 00 00.
If you use a local variable (like qq), so you could do this

Incoming 90 00 qq from Studio One

You should not need to toggle it as the function on Studio One would already do that but if it.

Outgoing 90 00 qq

The value from studio 1 should be 7f and then 00 if it behaves like a normal solo.

@stason99

Also, in your Presets number 1, for both translates outgoing messages you selected velocity qq. Why qq and what does it do?

qq is a local variable placeholder which will contain the value coming from the input device or Studio One depending on the preset or translator defined ports.

If coming from Studio One, it will normally toggle between 7F (127) and 0.

@stason99

Also, I modified your Preset number 2 to block note C1 (90 00 7F) (REC button on Ch1) with any velocity. How can I instead set a range of notes from 90 00 xx to 90 07 xx to include all 8 channels’ REC buttons blocked in one translate?

Yes it would look like this

Incoming: 90 pp qq

Rules:

if pp>7 then exit rules, skip outgoing action

Outgoing: None

@stason99

And lastly, after we setup above mentioned functions, then I’d need to add one more: a rule to make so that only 1 of two (or three or four…) buttons gets engaged (and illuminated) at once such as with “Radio Solo” mode when only one channel can be soloed at the same time. For example: There are 2 solo buttons: F6, F7 and F8. I need pressing any of these to deactivate previously engaged one. I need this rule not only for solo but other functions as well. I’d appreciate if you add that to the sample project for me.

Radio buttons are a bit trickier as you have to track their state with global variables. While free support does not include creating a complete solution for you, I can find an example where I helped another user with radio buttons here. You would need to examine it and learn how it is used and then apply the principles to your project.

If you want me to build a solution for you, it falls outside of free support and I’m available as an independent contractor to help. Please PM or email me if you are interested in purchased support.
