Hi all, I have just started playing with SynthMaker and up to now it is very interesting 😍 One question: I have tried to put together a "program chage" module to connect to my hardware synth using the numerical keypad module as input. My goal is to click say "4" "5" "ok" and have the synth switch to program 45 Could you give me some hints on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

hey and welcome to SM 😉 here a few tips : search the forum for "vKey Code Finder" and download the OSM. this is just a list with all the PC-Keyboard Keys. now you have to combine this with the "keyPressed" module from the Synthmaker Toolbox. that are the first steps how to use a PC-Keyboard Key for triggering/switching controls. 🙂 have fun

here is a small example of a midi program change module that uses the numbers of your PCkeyboard. to enter a new program number, just press the trigger button OR hit the CTRL key on your PCkeyboard. the readout display will get a grey background to show that you are in edit mode now. now simply enter your numbers , and once you press enter to confirm,the program change message will be sent to MIDI out. 😉

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
