Re: Plugin + Mouse wheel for MIDI pitch bends?

tramp : Smart idea, that works a lot better! Feels quite real-world usable. Hurray :D The only thing I would further suggest (apart from a 'perfect' solution without clicking) is to let the user know that pressing the mouse wheel is now necessary for the pitch bend (as opposed to the other knobs), ...

Re: Plugin + Mouse wheel for MIDI pitch bends?

Thanks guys! tramp Thanks, I got the new version compiled now. I've done some tests with the time parameter, but must admit that it didn't work out nicely. As you usually like to hold a value for the pitch-wheel for a time you defined and don't want it to spring back after a fixed defined time. I wa...

Re: Plugin + Mouse wheel for MIDI pitch bends?

Hi tramp, My coding muscles are fossilized, and I can't get Mamba to compile (got it from the package manager earlier). But yes, looks like XButtonEvent.time could help, how depends on what it actually measures. If it helps I'm happy to test -- if I can get it to compile. Downloaded the zip from Git...

Re: Plugin + Mouse wheel for MIDI pitch bends?

Ah, didn't realise you were Mamba's coder, tramp. Great work :)

I'll have a look at your suggestion soon and will report back. At first blush, lack of springback might make it hard to use though, as it may be too tricky to manually scroll back right to the base tone... cheers

Re: Plugin + Mouse wheel for MIDI pitch bends?

When I run xev in a terminal, then scroll the mouse wheel, it generates strings of ButtonPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001, root 0xdc, subw 0x0, time 54325472, (161,2), root:(712,436), state 0x0, button 4, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x32...

Re: Plugin + Mouse wheel for MIDI pitch bends?

Thanks both! Mamba seems to come closest -- nice piece of software. The catch: at least for me, the pitch bend knob does not react to mouse wheel scrolls as hoped. It does seem to 'get' the input, but jumps back instantly to the middle position, so you get no significant bend at all. This 'springy' ...

Plugin + Mouse wheel for MIDI pitch bends?

Hello, I'm using Qtractor on a Manjaro system. For MIDI input I use a small AKAI LPK25 keyboard controller. It has no pitch bend wheel (or any other). But my computer mouse does have a middle wheel, so I wondered if I could somehow use that to send pitch bend signals while playing the LPK25, via som...
