Hi,
Just wondering if you can do this? I have existing bindings setup on the song to be triggered from the PC keyboard for doing certain things, and it would be useful to trigger the same binding from a touch screen as well when keyboard and mouse are tucked out of the way (I have had a small studio reorg lately, which has brought this on).
Unfortunately I couldn’t see bindings as a target for controller buttons.
Am I missing something?
Just thinking laterally, which I will try later, if I can generate MIDI messages on these controller pads, maybe I can use a MIDI loopback to trigger a binding?
You can send keyboard command from remote using a software connected (WiFi or USB) to a phone or tablet, like Touch Portal.
Even better, the Elgato Streamdeck.
Hey Derek,
This is how I do it. You set up the Control bar buttons as momentary with MIDI CC numbers
and then make bindings like this to control the song (parts) states.
Cheers,
Dave
Thanks, Dave.
I’ll try this later.
I hadn’t made the connection that the controller bar MIDI data is available via a MIDI port for the on screen keyboard? Which is what I infer from your second screenshot? I will give this a go later.
Due to a re config of my studio, when I am practising I now need the the computer keyboard out of the way. Not a problem when I am gigging or for most interactions via the keyboards/foot controller. However, for when I am practising on my own, I have the original song that my backing tracks were made against in a media player, muted by default and a CTRL+O keypress enables it if I want to here it when doing a solo practice - but I do not want it any other time and not by accident during a gig, so I made it a deliberate keypress event, with the track always muted when the song is selected. If the keyboard is out of the way I can’t do that keypress, so just want a way to do the same from either the mouse or the touch screen, and I want it in a manner that I cannot accidentally enable it whilst at a gig, so a deliberate keypress or selecting a control button on the GUI is what I am after - and the control bar looks ideal for the latter.
I think you have set me on the right path now, so thanks, and I will report back. 
Yes Sir! The onscreen keyboard MIDI ports in and out, act as the input and output MIDI ports for the control bar and the virtual keyboard.
