So I’m starting to get into some fairly complex control schemes using the buttons on my MPK261. Hopefully one of you more experienced users can help me out here.
I have a _Controls rack that is using Bank B of the controls on my MPK261 to control up to 8 shared single plugin racks. When I press Button 1, _Controls loads state Rack 1 and the plugin in the first rack gets shown while all others are hidden. While in state Rack 1 the rotary encoder and fader info is sent to that rack only. It also manages the lights on all 8 buttons as they are set to Toggle mode in the MPK261. If the currently lit button is pressed again the _Controls rack goes back into Mix state, allowing the faders to control all the rack volumes.
What’s happening is the _Controls rack bindings to set the rack states on button presses are being triggered only sometimes, even though I can verify the MIDI CC info IS being received by the _Controls rack. Is it possible to have too many bindings so that they don’t always trigger?
I would consider that a feature if it would trigger my controller’s keypresses only sometimes - it would skip over the majority of my mistakes! I’d sound “Pro”!
This does sound vaguely familiar for some reason but it hasn’t hit me yet why. I had something like this happening due to a USB3 port “log-jamming” MIDI events once, but that isn’t it, as it did finally release all the stored up events in a flurry of events all-at-once. Still, if you have a true USB2 port to plug into, try that.
Else-wise I do seem to recall an incident where my bindings were not triggering sometimes… where is a good hypnotist when you need one?
