As you do not have the same device as mine, I started a preset, with the hardware of user 1 map :
rotas A1-8
rota B1-8
buttons C1-8
buttons left/right/up/down
in attachement
EDIT : finally with your valuable advices, I managed to program the remote I wanted. With even the JOG, absolute and relative. Very useful. Here is the file, if it can be useful.
I just have one thing that cannot figure out : how can I write a command that unarms all armed track, and then arm the selected one ?
-
I posted my needs on the AZSlow forum, I thought you were there maybe...
I'd like to define my own, because I have a precise idea of what I need :
- infact I do not care about mixing vol/pan/mute, etc...
- I want to use the device as a recording remote when I'm recording my sax in front of the mic, and do not want to stay near PC/keyb/mouse.But remember : I have a LaunchControl "normal", not "XL". Only 2x8 rota + 8 buttons + 4 arrows
So basically I need :
- button1 : STOP
- button 2 : PLAY
- button 3: arm/unarm current selected track
- button 4 : RECORD
- buttons 5 -6: move time to FROM or THRU markers
- button LEFT/RIGHT: UNDO/REDO
- button UP/DOWN: select previous/next track
- rotary1: change current selected track volume using a rotary (I don't know if you have access to the concept of "current selected track")
- rotary2: move time between FROM and THRU (this one may be tricky)
BTW, can you tell me where to look to see available cakewalk commands ? (like the ones I described just before) -
Hi Heinz,
My bad, it's not the launchpad, but the LaunchControl. Here it is:
https://fr.audiofanzine.com/controleur-a-pads-midi/novation/launch-control/
I precisely know what channel/controls/notes it sends for each buttons and its 8 user + 8 factory banks.
You can find the MIDI guide in attachment. Waat it sends, and what it receives (to light up the buttons)
If you are on the AZSlow forum, I opened a post there :

Thanks for your help

yes, thx, I already subscribe your forum. I'll try this tonight between 11pm and 2am 😉

just for your information , while waiting for Bandlab to make a better MIDI controller, a talented guy developed a plugin that seems to be quite configurable :
AZ Controller (www.azslow.com)

Oh but you are the author of this plugin !
nice work man !
Hope I will manage to configure it. 😉

Thanks a lot for these clarifications.
I just downloaded AZ control, and will try to make a preset for my LaunchControl

I'd love to customize more freely the use of my Novation Launchpad...
Please Bandlab, have a look at the ACT controller. 😁

Hi,
I have a Novation LaunchControl (small one, not XL), with 2x8 rotaries + 8 buttons and 4 arrows buttons.
note : LaunchControl is a simple MIDI device that emits MIDI controllers for rotaries or MIDI notes for buttons.
I did not find any predefined ACT preset, so I am building one.
No problem to learn the 2x8 knobs and assign them to volume and pan of the 8 WAI selected tracks.
BUT I cannot manage to do the following things :
- assign the 8 buttons (under the 2x8 rotaries) to mute the corresponding 8 WAI tracks (I just found a "mute selected track" that modifies only the selected track).
- program the 4 arrows buttons to do things like :
- selecting next track groups (1-8, 9-16, 17-24, etc...)
- switching vol/pan to send1/send2 for example.
Any idea ?
EDIT : It's this controller :

Hi there,
it would be nice that when exporting a clip using drag'n'drop onto the desktop, the time signature of the clip (at this moment of the track) could be exported, so that when opening it into a new project, the signature is correct. IMHO, this time signature is really part of the clip description .
It is possible, because when you use "menu/file/export as midifile", this time signature is embedded in the midifile.
Some software like Beatbuddy Manager (that manage a rythm box pedal) are waiting for such information.
Thanks for this great software
-
thanks it works now. I was missing the "trim" action, that is obvious now, and also a few drum note remap, because the BeatBuddy has a limited and weird drumkit.
Have a nice day.
-
yes it's working, and I can import it into my Beatbuddy.
How did you do it ? From the Take5.mid file I sent you ???
-
In complement : I tried to make a simple rythm from scratch at the mouse, starting at 1:0:0, and I exported it.
This time, when reimporting, the clip starts at 1:0:0...
So I do not understand what is wrong with the other file... Hidden midi messages ?
-
CdB : very last version 2021.09 b141 x64
Do you try with a clip that starts at 1:0:0 and has no white space at its beginning ?
By the way, when I drag a clip, it does not export only the clip, but also any other clip on its right...
The story of this problem :
- I need the Take5 special 5/4 drum pattern for my BeatBuddy pedal (a rythm box that needs midifile patterns)
- I opened a midifile I found on the net (take5.mid), containing a drum track an other instruments tracks
- I moved all clips on the right to make room at the beginning of the sequence
- I cut the piece of the drum track I needed and moved it at 1:0:0 (the brown track on the screencopy).
- Then I just selected this small clip and make a export/midifile. I also tried drag and drop the clip on the desktop, but it seems
Enclosed you can find the orginal midifile and my export.
Please try to extract 8 bars from the drum tracks to a midifile starting at 1:0:0 and tell me how you did it.
Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
It seems that when exporting a midiclip starting at 1:0:0 to a midifile, cakewalk inserts a blank measure and put the first event at 2:0:0...
see the screencopy : the first track is the original one I exported.
The second one is the MIDIFILE I imported back into cakewalk… Slided by 1 measure…I wonder why cakewalk does that ! Looking at the events, it seems that it keep one safe first measure to insert all the program changes, tempo changes, signature events, volume and pan control, etc…
But I desperatly need midifile starting at 1:0:0 to import into my BeatBuddy pedal which is expecting such midifiles...
Any idea how to change this behaviour ?
Could it be a bug ?
Thanks for your help.

alas, it really depends on your internet connection : I live on the countryside in france, and my max download is 8Mb/s, so it takes about an hour to install. I had a connection crash during the first install, and had to redo the instal lfrom scratch : it did not recover the aborted install... Some efforts have to be done to help people installing this software. Please allow us to download a full install EXE, as any other software.
Another problem: I want to install it on my laptop, and I have to download the whole thing again... 😞
I guess that people with high bandwith do not have the problem.
Anyway, verynice software, and given for free now, so I guess we should not complain 😉
