Set midi control to cycle through performances

[erikma]

Hi is it possible to assign a midi rotary encoder to cycle through the scaler “presets” or is this a feature request? Best Erik

Glad you asked for it too @erikma ! Let’s build some momentum behind this idea

Wishlist for Scaler 3.x for MIDI control

This first iteration of MIDI control in Scaler 2.4 is awesome! It allows dynamic selection of performance expressions in real-time from the DAW. And I do hope that on the Scaler 3 roadmap we may experience some growth of this concept, especially applied to selecting chord progressions from the menus “Songs” and “Artists”. My hope is that we eventually can get general CC assignments to each chord progression selection menu folder, so that twisting knobs/sliding faders can be applied to selectin…

I guess once it’s in focus that should be possible, we are assigning buttons to < and > so you can do it that way but yeah - rotary encoder makes sense. I’ll discuss with team.

Rotary control would be very good for this, but specific selection via CCs also makes sense to me for some things. A flexible combination of both possibilities would be ideal I think.

As a possible example, the 8 Performance types

might nicely be chosen from 8 controller pads (typically a single row or column).

Putting the next level down on rotary might then be very nice, but, if the user only has controller pads available it would be unfortunate if they were not able to make assignments on their pad controller to get the desired results.

Excellent ideas and as icing on the cake also a “random” button which chooses from all te available options. Also assignable 0,5 1 or 2 times the speed of a variation or is this already possible?

In this scenario it would be nice to cycle through presets with a rotary encoder and to be able to assign a preset you like to a midi cc without leaving the list that the rotary controls.

Hi davide is it already possible in version 2.4 to assign <>? Best Erik

Hi @erikma

It will be possible in version 2.4.1.

Cheers,
Ed

Excellent news Ed! is there already a release date for 2.4.1? best Erik
