Increase value I set when the button triggered

Bome Products
1

When I used NI Maschine as control surface, I can set a button like this.
cc step control

When the button pushed, the value increased 26(=127/5) from value 1 to 127, and push the button again, it goes to value 1.(box checked on ‘Wrap’) Totally it acts 5 step beside 1 and 127. (1, 27, 53, 79, 105, but not 131)

(The reason of that’s not started from 0 is error because of rounding off.)

Now I use another controller ; behringer x-touch mini.
I wanna make it -
“I push a button, and it makes a increment cc value for 26.”

Hi,

The attached project should work. I use Button 1 in MC mode, however you can change it to whatever button suites you.

I have 3 global variables set at startup (in translator 0.2 rules)

// cc value increment
ga=26
// cc number
gb=8
// current cc value
gc=1

The increment is calculated in the rules of translator (1.0)

gc=gc+ga
if gc>127 then gc=1

Log "Log Sending CC#%gb% value=%gc%"

As you can see, I set it to cycle back to value 1 if the increment exceeds 127.

I have my aliases set up as follows:

Thx, Steve. It’s been a big help.

I’m trying to adjust to my Bome project, but I have one more ask to you.

You use ga~gc with button 1, but I want to use each two buttons.
If I use ga~gc to button 2, the value of gc is shared for both button 1 and 2.
So I’m gonna try to divide each other.

I tried to link gd,ge,gf to button 2, but there’s something wrong.
On log window, the value doesn’t increase as I set, but only there’s a value zero.

Is there anything I missed? Here is what I’m making project file.
I’m editing these on Preset 12.0~12.2 & 13.0~13.2.

Here is a project file that uses a decrement button. We use the same global variables but we decrement the value of gc instead with button 2. I hope this is what you want.

On another note, you may not want to add all of those MIDI thru paths that you have.
Anything not handled by a translator is going to find it’s way using the thru paths and consequently many MIDI messages may ‘sneak by’ and will confuse you later. It is OK to have them if that is your real intend (say 95% of the messages don’t need translators), however I’ve often tripped myself up but having them and then not realizing that I’m getting multiple message to a given port, some of which I don’t want.

Also, I suggest you use Aliases whenever possible for your device names. It makes your project easier to understand if you have your own names and if devices in your configurations move around, it is less of a headache to update multiple presets and translators with the device changes. You simply redefine the alias to the physical (or virtual) port that you want to use.

You can learn more about aliases from this tutorial.

As far as device selection, you may want to look at this tutorial.

Thx, Steve.

I want to each two buttons each of CC value increment. But it set both “gc”, and seems like that same cc value increment is shared. Decrement of value is not I want. There would be a misunderstanding 'cause my English writing is not good.

The issue I have is here.
If I push once Button 1, it gonna increased 1 to 27.
And push Button 2 first, it goes to 53.

I wanna make like down here.
‘First, I push Button 1, it gonna increased 1 to 27.
And push Button 2, another cc value (of button 2) increased 1 to 27.’

OK, I misunderstood. This one will has button 1 incrementing CC8 and button 2 incrementing CC9. I have my X-touch MINI in Mackie MCU mode.

I use the following variables and they are shown in the rules of translator 0.2

// cc value increment
ga=26
// cc number
gb=8
// current cc value
gc=1
// second cc value
gd=1
// second cc number
ge=9

They both use the same rules but with different global variables so that they don’t bump into each other.
