I am suffering from an inability to connect the logic between two tutorials. I’ve been following along with Matthew Ragan’s fabulous tutorial series, and since hundreds of others are as well… maybe someone else might have had the same question and solved it.
The Task:
I would like to Map the UI Sliders/Buttons to a Midi Device like the one below for example the “Oxygen 25.”
Specifically, I want to map Sliders that I built in touch (following Matthew Ragan’s tutorial [url]Day 1 - Your First Movie Player 6/6 - YouTube ) that control Invert, Contrast, Hue Offset, Etc. to the knobs, keys, buttons to the above Midi Device.So I understand this : [url]TouchDesigner | Working with Midi 1/4 - YouTube
which is to say that I understood the idea of mapping out particular Sliders/Buttons in The Midi Device Mapper Dialog to the respective physical dodad on the midi device.
I understand that you can theoretically map out your device once and then in “Local” plop the .tox file into a new project and point the base of the project to the .tox file with all those fine mappings that you just did. So this could save you time using your midi map on various projects.
But!
Now what?
I’m guessing now one would need a way to tell the Midi Mapper sliders/buttons in which you just assigned the proper Midi Channel/Controller that “hey you, s1 are going to control this UI slider— let’s say the “Invert” slider in the Touch Interface.”
I feel that I need another step here because I haven’t connected the UI sliders with the Midi Mapped button/sliders… but how on earth does one do that?
With a table? Or some swanky python script? Or… with a drag and drop that I just could simply not common sense my way upon??
Is it correct to think of this as a circle that needs to be complete?
Thanks in advance for helping me complete my circle!
Very Best, Nesli
