Hey, this is my first post to the forum. I've been using Live for a number of years but I'm not very familiar with the finer details of how MIDI works, so please forgive any obvious ignorance on my part!
I'm trying to build a patch that takes converts touches on my Korg Kaoss Pad's XY area into MIDI messages. I'd then like to map these MIDI messages to control MIDI-assignable parameters on VST plugins and Live's built-in devices.
My Kaoss Pad is connected to my audio interface via a MIDI cable, and the patch ( http://ul.to/mzoo2v ) is loaded into a MIDI track that monitors incoming MIDI messages from the audio interface. (The patch works equally well with mouse clicks on the boxes of the jit.cellblock, so you don't need a Kaoss Pad to use it.)
My patch maps the XY information into an integer relating to each zone, labelled 1-4. When I select one of the zones, the patch outputs a corresponding MIDI message using ctlout. I want to map these messages to control parameters in other plugins.
The problem comes when, In MIDI map mode, I click on the parameter that I want to map but Live doesn't pick up the mapping - I don't understand why it doesn't! I'm probably doing something really obvious wrong, but I'd appreciate any help that you can give me!
Thanks in advance,
Monty
