Hi all,

Same here. B8 fine, B9 assignment issues.

What I discovered:
everytime I run the Midi Mapping dialog a new set of available Midi Channels is added to the drop down list (on both ON and OFF control state). A bit weired: Midi channel 17 is available, too...
So I guess it is a kind of indexing issue with the channellist for the drop down.

Thanks for the next release with a corrected Midi Channel selection for sending color codes back to the controller.

I'm glad I found this post as I was about to lose my sanity...
Thinking "Yeah, I'll sit down and do my colored MIDI button assignment right" - guess I'll have to wait with that, since I was wondering why the heck the buttons would not light up anymore when a scene was triggered.

Unfortunately, for me it seems that the final version which was recently released is also affected.
I am only able to change the velocity (=color) successfully for both on and off states for the very first MIDI button mapped.
For all others, it is not working, and also the visual feedback (MIDI output) is not working, leaving me with no visual feedback on my MIDI controller on which scenes are currently active for my light show. A fix would be appreciated :) May go back to Beta8 in the meantime despite some other crashes...

Thanks artyfunk for the feedback - indeed when I create a blank project, the mapping and feedback works fine in the FINAL version. However, when I load my dvc file, it does not work and also cannot be brought to working state when changing settings in the MIDI mapping dialog (changing OFF state does nothing), and the feedback (white button) still only works for the first button.
Thanks juls, I sent you the project file; hope it can be fixed somehow so I dont' have to recreate all the scenes :(

I investigated into the files themselves and found out that if I deleted all the shortcuts in the shortcuts section, I was able to create MIDI shortcuts again like normal. So I redid all the shortcuts and saved the file.

Upon revisiting the file to create new shortcuts and saving, I found out that now the problem was back!

Looking at the file, I see that the TARGETINDEX was now being doubly used (values 2 and 3).

Manually correcting these indices and shifting all the other indices maked the file work again as intended!

Also I noticed that sometimes, there are "DEL" characters in the file in the event data string, and sometimes they are not there, what gives?

This was all tested using the 1.00 release.

The offending file was sent to juls.
If you have a similar problem, check your TARGETINDEX.

Hey,

was this issue fixed in the latest release (5.0.1)?

Greetings

I just did a test with 5.0.2 - adding a new scene and mapping it to a previously unused button on the midi controller.
The mapping itself worked ok, also changing on/off color, and it did not influence preexisting mappings (based on the file that had problems before and I had to manually repair).
A new, free TARGETINDEX was chosen for the new mapping.
So at least with this test, the problem seem to have been fixed in the newer versions.

Unfortunately I have to say this is still not fixed in version 5.0.2.1.

After mapping some new controls, I see that there are multiple TARGETINDEX=4000 entries, and the error symptoms mentioned before resumed.
Please fix.
