There are only 3 momentary switches connected to pins 0,1,2 and gnd. The led is connected to pin 13 and gnd. The led on both the board and pin 13 work, the brightness is not an issue, I'm trying to get it to work...

I believe this may work but it won't compile because of the error 'usbMidi' was not declared in this scope

So do you have an example?

Now I get an error saying usb midi not declared in this scope. I don't think this will work for the other parameter though. I don't understand why the lights go off when the button is released but (for example) the...

The reason I'm using this sketch is it's the only one that works with all the parameters I need to control in Ableton. Most simply turn on if off or off if on but one parameter allows you to map many buttons (up to 128)...

THANK YOU!!! I'll try that. That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

The light only stays on while I hold the button down, I need it to be on with the note on and off with the note off commands is there a way to do that? Most of the switches work like this, if you press the button while...

the led needs to come on or off with the the note on/note off commands. The buttons will be mapped to parameters like record, so when I press that button the led in the switch also lights. they need to stay on or off...

Am I missing something? I simplified the code for just 3 buttons, the lights work with blink sketch. Just trying to get 1 to work on pin13, no response #include <Bounce.h> const int channel = 1; Bounce...

Anybody know why this doesn't work?

yes, the code works fine with the software but no lights

I am using a T3.2 to test this I have a led connected to pin 13. I tested this with the blink sketch both the led and the orange one on the board work but nothing with the sketch in post # 8

Did I do something wrong? the led doesn't come on either the one on the board or if I put one on pin 13. #include <Bounce.h> // the MIDI channel number to send messages const int channel = 1; // Create...

There will be 40 buttons, I wanted to see if I could get it working first then see if I can expand the pin count with MCP23017 port expanders. I have a T3.6, all 24 analog pins are used for pots, so I still need 40...

Thank you,

I stumbled upon this, it sounds like he was trying to do exactly what i am. Do you know if it ever worked? = {11,12}; // Numbers of the LED Pins Digital Section: Code: //************DIGITAL...

I have tested all the pots, they are connected to 3v, gnd and the center to the pins correct?

Has the many knobs and buttons sketch been tested with software? if have something I can test my hardware that would help.

This is my unit, I'd like to try to connect as many pot's as I can and see if it works. Since I fried the 3.6 I may have to use some muxes. I'm going to try to get the lights working while there's only 3 if you have any...

I think you got it! its a little shaky but could be the breadboard connections.

It worked ant then quit, It seams very unstable. I had the same problem with another sketch. I fried my 3.6 now I'm using a 3.2 Ill reboot and try again. I just have 3 pots and 3 buttons on the breadboard but all 6...

I copied and pasted your code from #2. I didn't alter anything oh I clicked on copy for forum, it didn't do it right #include <Bounce.h> // the MIDI channel number to send messages const int channel = 1; //...

Well it compiles but still no work. when I map to the controls they all have the same cc note and 1 knob turns all 3 controls. I cannot find a code with 3 working pots that I could add the buttons to. I thought that one...

The code at #55 doesn't work with the chain selector. as I tried to explain in post #57. it only sends cc 60. I don't know what makes it work or where it differs from your code but the buttons code in #67 is the only...

Could you at least just show me how to add 6 pots to this code?/* Buttons to USB MIDI Example You must select MIDI from the "Tools > USB Type" menu To view the raw MIDI data on Linux: aseqdump -p "Teensy...

you lost me, I don't know which code you're referring to or what to do with that snippet above

It doesn't work with Ableton, nothing maps.

This is making things to confusing, I have my breadboard set up for Odsons code, 6 buttons and 6 pots, If you want to contribute read the posts and understand where we are now or send something to try with that setup

Well it loads but, same as others, it only registers the first button on the chain selector. Only difference is before when I hit the second button while holding down the first it would change the first, now it does...

For the lights? I would think press on latch. then unlatch when another button is pressed. The software seams to work with just note on note off. only problem is it also plays notes on the instruments as well. I'll have...

Yea that makes sense, the other stuff is over my head.

Back to square A, I don't know how to add pointometers to the buttons sketch (which is the only one that works with the chain selector). I would be happy to forget the lights for now and just add pots to the buttons.

So I combined your analog section with the buttons sketch digital section. It compiles, I'll test it tomorrow. I'm still not clear on how to light the leds.

Tried it, doesn't work. it doesn't do the second button, when I try to enter the second number it just changes the first. I guess I could put it on a separate channel but then I'd have to change all the instruments too....

The chain selector is like a radio dial, just a similar comparison. Anyway this sketch works with the chain selector, how do you change it to cc instead of note on? The first few seconds of this video show how the...

I tried the latching code, it works for parameters like record on off ect. but the way they have the chain selector set up to map is, you press the first button and hold it while you press the last button. that defines...

I don't have the switches assembled yet so I was going to test it with 3 switches on a bread board. Do I need a led driver or any other components?

The very beginning shows what I'm after, just the first few seconds.

I tried replacing note with CCID it didn't work so I don'k know how to do it. they are normally open switches, it would be press on and stay on until another button is pressed only 1 button at a time can be on.

I didn't mean to post that twice. I'm trying to be as clear as I can, the pots can all be mapped to any parameter so we can disregard those for now. Its just a matter of changing the buttons to cc messages instead of...

1 change the digital pins to send cc messages and not notes 2 tell the pin when its pressed to turn on led and turn off previous led so that all leds are off except the one that is pressed. For now an array of 24...

Update. I can make it select instruments 1 through 12 with the buttons now I just have to stop it from also playing notes. I hope I can make this work with the many knobs and buttons sketch. One last thing, is there a...

I'm trying to get the chain selector to work with digital buttons. The picture in post#32 shows the bar with 0 to 127 places, if I map a pot to it it works but then I have to try to find what I want by turning the knob....
