Start/Stopp Arp

[d.healey]

@MikeB The Bypass option and the Enabled option both control the MIDI processor's bypass (on/off) button. This is the same for all MIDI processors not just the arp, but the arp also has a separate bypass button of its own.

@MikeB Creating a button that plays a note so the ARP starts playing would have been easy, except if I remember well the ARP can only be triggered from external events, not internally generated ones. I reckon Christoph said it's a safeguard so the ARP is not triggering itself. I can't think about a solution to start your ARP...

[MikeB]

@ustk Thank you - it works so far with David's script from his video.

The next challenge is a button with the purpose to switch between internal start/stop and BPMs and external start/stop and BPM from the DAW - also sync with host.

[Christoph Hart]

@ustk no that is only true for sibling processors. But a script in a container will start the arp in the midi chain of a sound generator inside the container.

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart ok my bad... I need more testing then, I surely made a mistake during my attempt

[MikeB]

and is there somewhere a description of how to use the Arp

a. run it internally (I already found this thanks to David)

b. externally synchronised with the DAW - tempo and start/stop.

@d-healey said in Start/Stopp Arp:

@MikeB

My video about making drum pads should show you want you need.

The two functions are playNote and noteOffByEventId

As I said, it works fine so far.
The only thing is that something is still not right - at least according to the error bar.

[d.healey]

@MikeB I'm not sure why that error isn't reported in the tutorial video... The error is telling you the problem - the first parameter (eventId) has a value of undefined.

The solution is to set eventId to -99 and change the else to else if (eventId != -99) and after you turn off the note set eventId to -99.

[MikeB]

@d-healey I will try that - thanks David

[MikeB]

@d-healey reg eventID = -99; was already enough. - Thanks
