MIDI Controller for program speed

[Neograph734]

I was attempting to assign my MIDI controller to a program speed. And I was very pleased to see the rabbit slider upon expanding the program in live mode, right clicking it and assigning a MIDI channel. This works very well.
However it seems I can only increase the speed. I cannot get the slider to go below halfway when using my MIDI controller.

I get the feeling the speed slider goes from -127 to 127, but the MIDI mapping only goes from 0 to 127.

Did I miss something, or is this a bug?

Hi there, thanks for pointing this out it looks like a bug. I have passed the details on to the developers to take a look.

Thanks for checking it. I hope to see this somewhere in the future then

i think its a bug? uhmmm.. I just wanna ask some advice coz I'm beginning to consider that I should get some form of tablet. Realizing the i-stuff has CoreMIDI (Apple's version of rtpMIDI or vice-versa) and this series of apps kinda makes the iPad look like a nice feature?

In the new Beta (13.Sptember) the speed control works with a midi-fader only from 0-127, and not from 0-255.
Is this a potential bug or a wrong ajustment by my own.

Hey Martin,

Are you using the latest version ? (September Beta) The speed slider should cover the range 0 -127 with 0 being the lowest speed and 127, the highest. We don't use such thing as negative values.

If it isn't working that way for you, please send me your showfile by PM.

The values from the midi controller are now indeed mapped correctly to values from 0 till 127.
However at a maximum value of 127 the speed slider still only reaches half speed instead of being opened completely as the intensity slider does.

Thanks in advance for the help.

It seems the problem is fixed... but partially.

@Martin: I've figured all sliders in Daslight range from 0-127 and so far I've not seen a value of 255 anywhere in the program. This is not really a problem as 127 is considered to be the maximum value.

@Tim: It seems the fix only works for new effects. If you create a new effect, the midi slider covers the full range (slowest to fastest). However on existing effects, you can now only control the bottom half of the speed (slowest to medium).

@Benno could you ask the dev's to also fix this for existing effects? It would be quite a time consuming task to have to reprogram all of them....

[TimJongsma]

I can confirm neographs conclusion about existing scenes is correct. In new scenes it works without a flaw. (Actually reprogrammed a lot yesterday). Would be great if this could also be fixed for existing scenes.

Hi Guys, could someone please PM me an old showfile with the problem so I can investigate? Cheers
