Piano Pedal Behavior

[nouslou]

Hi everyone! Have a samplers in my piano project which have pedal down and up samples. I use midimuters and my script looks like (I put it into my pedal up and down samplers):

function onController()
{

	if (Synth.isSustainPedalDown() == true) {
		muteup.setAttribute(0, 1);
	}
	if (Synth.isSustainPedalDown() == false) {	
		muteup.setAttribute(0, 1);
		Synth.playNote(0, 100);	
	}
	
}

Pedal up and down samples are working just fine with my sustain pedal. But the problem is now this script reacts to all others midi controller knobs :) For example I can touch my Pitch Bend - and while I use it - pedal down and up samples are sounds too etc. How can I change this script to react only on sustain pedal? Thank you!

Add an if statement to check if the cc number is 64

@d-healey should it looks like this?

if (CCNumber == 64)
{
        if "my code"
}

@nouslou Yes

and just for better coding style,

This:

if (Synth.isSustainPedalDown() == true) {
	// blabla
}
if (Synth.isSustainPedalDown() == false) {	
	// blabla
}

is equal to this:

if (Synth.isSustainPedalDown())
{

}
else
{

}

In fact, it's not even equal because in your case both statements or evaluated when it is necessary to do it only once

[d.healey]

@nouslou Yup

[nouslou]

@d-healey Somehow it doesn't work:

I mean if I write

if (CCNumber == 64)

Even pedal samples stop to work. Am I blind somewhere? :)

@nouslou

if (CCNumber == 64)

Where is CCNumber coming from?

to "read" a CCNumber you need to use:

Message.getControllerNumber()

-- its in the API documentation, you may also need:

Message.getControllerValue()

at some point....

so your code should read

if (Message.getControllerNumber() == 64)

@lindon now I got it!

@lindon @d-healey @ustk Guys, you are all brilliant! Thank you very much as always!
