Note to controller difficulty - how to suppress note off

Cantabile
1

I don’t seem to be able to get this working properly, I want to map a button on a APCmini to a controller value so I can control the Ledlie on B4.

The particular button sends note 64 on when you press it and note 64 off when you release it. In the midi routing table I set up a map of note 64 to note 65 (which I assume means just note 64 - won’t let me set 64 to 64) to a controller and I set the min and max value to 127.

I get the controller message but I have found no way to get rid of the note off message.
(cantabile 2.0.0.2071)

I thought of transposing it out of the way, but transpose does not seem to work on note off - that is assuredly a bug. The best I can do is move it to a unused channel and then suppress that channel in the rack.

(edit) aargh - that doesn’t work for note off either - it still appears on channel 1.

Hi,

I think you should chose Multi Button Controllers. I just gave it a try: no problems with decreased Key Range (in my example I was able to chose C2-C2). Controlling VB3 by the onboard keyboard workes flawlessly. I attache a screenshot of the MIDI Filter Window.

Good luck, humphrey

Hi David,

Let me know if Humphrey’s suggestion works for you.

I’m not sure what’s happening with the note-off issues you’re describing except to say that the MIDI routing table does fool around with note off events to prevent stuck notes. I’d need some more details to track it down but reluctant to make changes to v2 in this area.
