So can I have multiple shift buttons? Toggle button one and messages go out channel 16 toggle button 2 and messages go out channel 15. Is that all shift does change the channel so the same button can have multiple uses. If so will the revised mapping you sent back to me work or have I gone about it all the wrong way. As I need it to be push one button and use the pads for one thing then push another button then use the same pads for something else
SJC> Most of the time, users use a single shift button to switch all others between layers but if you have multiple layers you can use different buttons to switch to different MIDI channels. Or you can use a single shift button and increment or decrement through the channel selection.
The beauty of MT Pro is just about anything is possible and with the right programming is limited only by the user imagination. I did a project for a user that had only 16 buttons but we used a few to select layers so he was able to use these 16 buttons to provide 96 (if I remember right) note messages. In addition I was able to send note information to the 16 LEDs on his controller to indicate what layer he was currently. I think we use 4 buttons to navigate the layers.
The tutorials I think I posted earlier show the basics on how this can be done with preset changes (one method) or global variables (another method). Each method has it’s advantages and disadvantages.
