Hi all, I'm mapping some SL commands to an FCB1010 and I would like to assign some buttons to toggle between 1/2x, 1x and 2x but I don't see that command listed in the midi bindings in the SL prefs. Am I just missing something or is there a different approach needed to map these commands?
Thanks a ton!
Assigning 1/2x 1x and 2x possible?

Re: Assigning 1/2x 1x and 2x possible?
You need to make manual bindings in the Prefs->Midi Bindings to the 'rate' control, where you specify the 'Targ Range' min and max value to be the same desired rate that you want (0.5, 1, or 2, for your examples). Then any event that matches the binding will just set it to that value.

Thanks Jesse - your support is legendary and greatly appreciated!
So, to make a loop go from 1x to .5x, the 'midi event' dialog should read as follows: targ range 0.5 to 1 'normal'
Data range 0 - 127
Correct?

That would work if you used a midi CC where the controller toggled between sending a 0 or a 127, then you'd toggle between 1/2 and 1x. But if you wanted to dedicate a button to always going to 1/2 speed (with others going to 1x, or 2x), then you would set both targ range numbers to the same (desired) value.

Works like a charm!

I actually wasn't able to get one button to toggle between .5 and 1x but I'm sure after spending some more time with it it will happen.
This is extremely useful stuff. Thanks a ton for taking the time!

No, with a program change message you won't be able to do the toggle mode. You need to send a CC for that where your controller toggles the value it sends between 0 and 127. You said you are using the FCB1010? That thing can be configured to do anything, if you can figure it out

Nice! Got it toggling... I had overlooked switching the scaling type from "normal" to "toggle". Interestingly enough, it's still a PC not a CC message.. but it works!
I figured I would post screenshots in case anyone else, who is new to midi is attempting to figure out the same thing...

Nice catch! I can't even remember all the junk that I put in there.....
