Hi! I want to make a rule that sends a midi note message between two values on a fader. For example if the fader is between value 4B and 5B it will send one MIDI message. Also, once the fader reaches this range, I would like it to just send the note message once until it goes out of range. Thanks!

OK, this takes at least 2 translators since there has to be 2 outgoing actions when within range. The first one fires note-on and if within range. If out of range (gb=1 meaning already fired) it does nothing The second one fires note-off with 50ms delay and sets gb=1 when within range Both do nothing when out of range. If you don’t need the delay for the note-off you could use raw MIDI in just one translator to handle both (as long as you set gb=1 after you fire it and gb=0 when it goes out of range).

Hi, So when it goes out of range you want a note-off and when it goes in range you want note-on but in both cases only once?

I want to activate both translators only once when it is in the range between a set of values (4B-5B). After it fires once, nothing happens until the fader reenters the set of values again. The way I have it now is I have two translators: note on/off that will activate at the same time when a specific value is reached (ie. 00 or 7F). The note off translator has a 50ms delay. This works fine for me for a specific value but I don’t know how to write the rule to specify a set of values.

OK, I did this with one translator. If we are within range we send a note-on or note off based on the value of ga We use gb to determine whether we went out of range or not. We set gb to 0 any time we go out of range and back to 1 when we have sent the note on or off. In this case I’m use Note-on on MIDI CH 1 0x90 or Note -Off on MIDI CH 1 0x80 For note-on, I use a value of 127 and for note-off I use a value of 0 In this case I’m sending note 0x40 (decimal 64) Here are the commented rules: if qq<75 then Goto “Out Range” if qq>91 then Goto “Out Range” // gb=1 means note-on or note-off sent // ga=1 means note on ga=0 = note off Label “In Range” // toggle note on/off ga=ga^1 // check if note sent // Has the note been sent yet? if gb==1 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action // set note sent until we go out of range gb=1 // Evaluate whether not on or note off Goto “Note-Type” Label “Out Range” // Out of range, note no longer sent gb=0 exit rules, skip Outgoing Action Label “Note-Type” // Note on if ga==1 then pp=144 // Note off if ga==0 then pp=128 // Note on velocity if ga==1 then rr=127 // Note off velocity if ga==0 then rr=0 note-toggle-when CC-within-Range-2021-01-06.bmtp (1.7 KB) Steve Caldwell Bome Customer Care Also available for paid consulting services: bome@sniz.biz

Hi Steve, I just tried it and I need the note off message to fire right after the note on message is sent (50ms worked for me in my tests). Your translator only fires one on/off message when you go within range. I need a note on and then a note off message in order for the command to work with my equipment. Sorry if I wasn’t clear before. I looked at your rules and saw the how you use the Label command which I think would really help me cut down on the number of translators I have. I think we are almost there, though. I just need to see how you would add a delay time in the rules. Or would it be best to use a timer?

That did it. Ok great I think see how it works now. Thanks again Steve!
