Program Changes to Notes or CC's

Hello,

I searched quite a bit and did not found an answer so I decided to ask here as I'm trying to do the opposite: turn Program Changes into notes (or CCs...if that's easier). Is that possible? I tried a little modifying scripts but no luck. (I don't know much about scripts)

thanks in advance

Hi,

I created a new thread from your post.

Here's a Program Changes to CC's script. Keep in mind that Program Changes on channel 1 are reserved for controlling channel strip performances, so they don't reach the scripter plug-in.

Also, since Program Changes have a single data byte (for the program number) you should specify what you want the CC's second data byte (the CC "value") to be.

// Convert incoming Program Changes to CC's.
// MIDI Channel 1 Program Changes will be ignored as they are reserved
// for invoking Channel Strip Performances.

var mChannel = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
mChannel[i] = String(i + 1);
}

var PluginParameters = [{
    name:"Convert Program Changes to CC's",
    type: "text"
}, {
   name: "MIDI Channel",
   type: "menu",
   valueStrings: mChannel,
   defaultValue: 1
}, {
   name: "Output CC Value",
   type: "lin",
   minValue: 1,
   maxValue: 127,
   numberOfSteps: 126,
   defaultValue: 80
}];

function HandleMIDI(e) {
   if (e instanceof ProgramChange) {
       var cc = new ControlChange();
       cc.number = e.number;
       cc.value = GetParameter("Output CC Value");
       cc.channel = GetParameter("MIDI Channel") + 1;
       cc.send();
       cc.trace();
   } else {
       e.trace();
       e.send();
   }
}

I created another version for notes:

//*
var title = "Program Change to Note by EC";
var version = "v0.1";
//*

var NOTES = MIDI._noteNames;

function HandleMIDI(event) {
var bN = GetParameter("Base Note");
var on = new NoteOn;	
if (event instanceof ProgramChange) {

	on.pitch = event.number + bN;
	on.send();
	var off = new NoteOff(on);
	off.sendAfterMilliseconds(100); 
} 
else {
	event.send();
}
}

PluginParameters = [{
	name: title + " (" + version + ")",
	type:"text"
}, {
	name:"Base Note", 
	valueStrings: NOTES,
	defaultValue:0,
	type:"menu"
}]; 

Hello Eric,

thank You very much!!!

I was trying again but fail all the time. You saved me loads of time!

I owe you a beer if you go to Buenos Aires.

You're most welcome.

¿Cual es la mejor cerveza argentina?

Espero que haya por lo menos un mate para mi

J.

Now we're talking!

Un mate con malicia para todos.

mate con malicia

Didn't know that one, sounds like a killer!

J.

well,

we can drink a Patagonia beer (I'm writing in english because that's the forum language, but it seems there's room for a spanish one!) or mate if you prefer... at home, without sugar, as with it is traditionally for ladies and children

both at the same time will mess your stomach!

but my offer is firm

The Patagonia sounds like a lovely treat.

Cheers!
