hi,
i try to map my jog wheel to my daw
1 mapped the according cc message…
always jog the cursor daw backward… does not follow left and right movement of the jog only the left
I,m new to this, i assume it has something to do with rules…
or 2 translator one for the right and one for the left and a rule so they dont cancel each other
i tried the velocity range with no result
as you see i m completely lost…
Hi,
I can likely help you but need to know what the Jog Wheel sends when turning clockwise and what it sends when turning counter clockwise.
In MIDI Translator Pro. Set your controller as the incoming so it opens the port.
Open the log window and check “MIDI IN”
Turn your jog wheel to the right. The copy and paste what it is sending on this forum.
Turn your jog wheel to the left,. Then copy and pasted what it is sending on this forum.

Hi Steeve,
JOG WHEEL
LEFT B0 3C 41
RIGHT B0 3C 01
The attached should work.
It has 2 tranlators.
The first send the keystroke “L” and the second sends the keystroke “R”, depending on which way you are turning the knob.

Hi Steve, it works as the jog now goes left to right but it s not as smooth as it supposed to
in the physical jog i have like small dent inside the mecanisme that i can feel
i use to be able to move the daw cursor by each dent movementso to speak
now it s like i have to move the jog by approx 8 dent to obtain that one measure movement
i have a lagging feel
So if you move it more quickly to the right is the last number 02 03 04 etc and to the left faster 42 43 44 etc? It is possible that the jog wheel is sending larger values that allow out to move more responsively. If so we can adjust the translators to use timers to create more keystroke actions.

HI steve,
Yes
i registered values from 7 to 9 to the right
41 to 49 to the right
best regards
OK, try this.
Jog-Wheel-Example-Timer.bmtp (1.4 KB)
In this version, I set up a repeating timer for keystrokes with a 10 ms delay between keystrokes. You should be able to adjust the delay to your liking in the output of the first two translators.
If the delay is too fast, your application may not have time to keep up. If it is too slow, it will seem laggy.

Hi Steve,
did not work, the timer rules makes the jog inactive… when i delete the rules, the jog comes to life again
I’ll look again but it was working for me.

Hi Steve,
i dont know if it matters but i had to change the keystroke as L and R are already in use in my workflow
my keystroke are:
Left= CTRL ALT SHIFT L
Right: CTRL ALT SHIFT ;
Hi Steve,
You re right, the jog behavior is faster and works as native… i tested with you re arrow left right assigment
but in the daw, the left and right asigment scroll to track not through time line…
i ll work on a workaround with in the short cut assigment daw
and get back to you if i cant work this out
thanks for the support, project is stepping forward one step at a time
best regards

Got it , works like a charm
my next step is programming the zoom function with the jog
my understanding is to do so i have to send a midi modifier signal so the jog no longer scroll through time line but act as a zoom in and out command…
it also requires a toggle command for the modifier
i think i saw a post on the forum on that topic with a guy working on logic pro
even if it not working on logic, may be the concept is similar
i ll give it a shot
OK, let me now. For me, the easiest way to change the behavior is would to copy the current preset into a new preset and the change the outgoing keys in the other preset to control zoom and then use your modifier to enable only one of the two presets.

hi steve
easier than i thought as the zoom modifier in the plateform Nano already assign a different midi message to the jog
so it was as easy as pairing the midi message with the according keystroke short cut of sutio one
Yep, glad to hear it! Once the methodology is figured out it is pretty easy to duplicate.

I recognize this – are you using the Ulanzi D100H dial – I am working on the same thing
Hi and welcome to the Bome community!
I don’t think that the Ulanzi D100H dial is a MIDI controller. I believe it sends keystrokes and requires the Ulanzi Studio App to interface with various supported applications.

Steve,
You are correct, but there is a vanilla MIDI plugin available for the Ulanzi dial. Using the plugin I can send MIDI CC on a given MIDI channel – the real trick (which I haven’t figured out yet) is to make the dial work like a jog wheel – though it is not built like a jog wheel that brings it back to a neutral central position. The only way I have been able to imagine it working is to use variables to hold the previous CC value and then compare it to the current one. If current value < previous then dial is going CCW or down. The opposite occurs when current value > previous – then dial is going CW or up. Of course, it’s going to ‘peg’ at 127 or ‘top’ and 0 at "bottom.
This is very simplistically expressed and would have to have certain refinements (e.g. if value is 127 and new message is 127 then still issue ‘Right’ commands and if new message is 0 and previous message is 0 then we are ‘bottomed out’ but we still want to keep outputting ‘Left’ commands
If you have any examples of such a scenario I would be very interested – please post them if you have them – thanks
