Show Notes Dynamic Variables

1

I’ve been investigating Dynamic Variables with the Show Notes such as showing the clock and temp in the upper right corner of a static jpg notes screen on a floor display monitor with the Cantabile WEB UI. I’d like to get a little more involved and show the CC values of some expression pedals that go through Cantabile to a Kemper Profiler. The Cantabile Manual states that MIDI CC variables of the “On Screen Keyboard” can be displayed in the show notes as using $cc(ccchannel)), but I see no references or methods to displaying CC from other MIDI inputs as dynamic variables. Is there a way to show an input or output CC value other than from the onscreen keyboard as a dynamic variable?

By the way, the Cantabile WEB UI works great. dsteinschneider modified some css code about a year ago and I use it to show a jpg screen-capture from a PowerPoint at my feet (this jpg would be the background image in Show Notes). Moving forward, showing some dynamic variables over the static background image woud be nice.

The trick is to route your pedal into the Onscreen Keyboard:

Then you can display it using something like
Expr = $(cc(11,1))
in your Show Notes.

Thank you. That works perfectly. I’ve never thought of the onscreen keyboard as an output destination, only an input.
