Hi All, I've found so many useful little gadgets here on the forum, I thought it about time I made a little contribution myself. It's a replacement for the standard modules for getting a value from a MIDI controller message. This one has a MIDI learn function so that you can teach it the controller you want to use by just wiggling the appropriate bit of hardware. It also has MIDI catchup to avoid that annoying thing where values 'jump' because your hardware control is pointing the wrong way after you just adjusted something with the mouse.

I've left the main module pretty open ended - you can decide for yourselves how to activate the various modes, and what displays you want to use (there's a description inside the module of all the ins/outs and properties). Also in the osm is an example of one of my knobs with the module inside it to give you a taster of how it all fits together. Hope you find it useful, The Luddite

...just a idea: it would be great to create a midi learn system that automatically adds new controls to an string array txt file that can be printed out by the end user

you can try this one...

Ad GUI For Easy Link&Midi Learn&Monitor

just copy the knob inside several times it will automatically add them to the list.

good day.

I'll post up the latest version of Soopa Loopa soon with the latest version of this module - it saves the MIDI controllers list to a text file using the standard VST preset manager. This also means that each host project you save will remember the learnt setting for when you next load it up, and you can load and save favourite controller setups to disk at any time - I'll post up some of the individual modules like the MIDI learn as a little toolkit once I've got the main program sorted.
