Best way to step States in a specific order

Idea …

I have some Light-Rack’s with states linked to a DMX-Programm

every state is calling a specific snapshot of light-configuration
when the during of one songstate is to long i sometimes want to change this
snapshot within one songstate …command timed from CC-Stepper

what could be the easyest way to step up a list of statenumbers in flexible order
by CC-Command?

(…or to send NoteOn Commands / stepped)

every rack has 50 states of Lightscenes
(example: Lightrack 1 Rock/Techno …some strobe-Elements and fast Headmoves etc.)

…For example, sometimes I want to get this order (state45, state 5, state45)
(this could also be a list of notes…my call system >> Rack1 = ch1 state45 = NoteOn45)

I mean I’ve seen something like this here but I don’t know exactly what to look for

Thanks for help

No Ideas?..

I thougt about a solution and had an Idea…

…to do it with a DrumVST

so I can make a Drummap mapped to my LightSnapshots (a Lightmap :smiley:)
also I can fire then timed short overrides to send short Scenes into a complete Snapshot…

if it is to complicated I will send a Dummy MidiFile from Mediaplayer…

There is a MIDI latch filter that iterates through a list of values every time it is triggered. You could set that list to the states in the order you want and then send the CC message to the rack in question, which would have a binding to that CC which changes the rank state to its value. Sorry for the run on sentence, I’m not quite awake yet.

Ok …thanks for the Tip

i have tested it with to bindings and it works

first step set the list of States as value
second step mapping to note value

The only thing I would worry about with this method is that there is no way I’m aware of to go back a step if you accidentally go a step too far.

So far, I have been unable to determine whether the values are forward, backward, or mixed up.
The only thing you have to pay attention to is always to send a step (0) from CC-Stepper after a step (127) because otherwise the step is not recognized as such.
This is no problem due to the variable increment in the CC-Stepper.

However, I wonder if the composition of the song is not too confusing and whether the variant via the drum program is not clearer…There I could just assign the Stepweite directly to the corresponding note and it would probably be clearer.

…or building some Midi-Tracks with the TriggerNotes for Media Player?

What would interested me, however, is whether in the variant with bindings/values the values could also be converted as a reference?

So do not call a specific note, but starting from the note called in the Songstate (= Lightscene snapshot) Then for example + 1 to the next note.

(working with a reference = a transpose value )
