[PD] MotorMix to PD

hello,

message 47 i probably a fader release information.
using print better than number you'll see that it's not the only message you are receiving.

fitering all information to have only fader movement is easy :
a "ctlin 0" object should output value of the 1st linear fader.
"ctlin 1" the 2nd etc

  
"ctlin 64" ... "ctlin 71" output rotation speed of the rotative fader (they did not output an absolute value)

for the toggle, it's a bit more tricky: you have to use 2 ctlin objects :
i used :
ctlin 47	ctlin 15
pack f f
route 66
sel 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

in order to select press information from 1 raw of toggle.
the other raw should be almost similar.

To move the fader thanks to the motor, you have to send 2 ctlout information.
using midiout, you can send a message like : "176 0 $1 176 32 0" i.e. sending value to ctlout 0, then sending 0 to ctlout 32.


toggle did not light on, because they can light in different colour, you have to light them up manually.
to light up a specific toggle i used
"176 12 0 176 44 $1" where $1 value is 2 or 66, for 1st column fader,
using 176 12 1 for 2nd column etc.
i think 44 can be changed to address other raw, ans the $1 value for the color.

i don't have any motor mix since many many years, so can't help more, but all can be made using simple ctlout. exapt display text on the screen that need sysex messages.

cheers
cyrille

I have a Motormix midi controller and it's connected to pd via Mbox2 (MIDI cables going between Motormix and Mbox2, USB going from Mbox2 to Macbook Pro). Using the ctlin object and 3 number boxes, I can see that pd is able to detect the button presses or fader movements, but I am not able to make head or tail of the values that are showing up. Whether I move a fader up or down seems to just jolt the left most output and once the motion is stopped it comes back to the same value. I guess that only detects the motion of the fader. When I connect it to a Vslider object, the slider moves sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The middle outlet seems to have the  number 47 on and when you move a slider, it shows the value for that particular slider, but comes back to 47 when you stop. When I press any button, nothing lights up on the console (though these are all supposed to light up and I'
