Hi there.
I'm a new in seq24'ish things. All I need is a piece of software that can record and loop midi patterns (synced with JACK, of course), as SooperLooper does with audio. And it must be controllable via midi, at least selecting previous/next pattern, recording and muting. They said that seq66 is the best for that, and so I believed...
It turned out that this is much more complicated task than I thought, as seq66 has no "midi learn" or something. (Sidenote to programmers: always add midi learn to your software if it supports midi and has a gui. It is important for live usage.) And the configuration format is not made for humans, even though it's full of comments.
And here I am trying to write something like
Code: Select all
11 "P" [ 0 0xB0 120 127 127 ] [ 0 0x00 0 0 0 ] [ 0 0x00 0 0 0 ] # Song Record
in the qseq66.ctrl file, but it doesn't seem to work, and I don't understand why. Is this line incorrect? Did I forget to turn something on? Can't tell. At least my midicontroller is connected to the automation port and is definitely sending CC120 when I press the button "record" on it. But nothing is happening on the seq66's face.
So that, I need help setting up these:
- CC116/117 to select previous/next pattern
- CC120 to toggle rec selected pattern
- CC118 to toggle mute selected pattern
Or, alternatively, maybe there is a simpler tool for my task?
