Subject: [GEN] Feedback to PhysIn (environment)
Message #151068
Hi! I have a problem with routing back data to the Physical Input in the environment. WHAT I WANT TO DO: use an external controller (Doepfer Pocket Dial) to move the Song Position Pointer back and forth. Due to various reasons I have to process the MIDI data in the environment. Finally I get out two controllers: one to move it backwards and one to move it forward. THE PROBLEM: Since there is no meta message to move the SPP directly, I am doing it via a MIDI command (those hotkeys that can also be triggered by MIDI events). I found out that I have to route the data back to the Physical Input, because commands are apparently captured directly from there, not from the Sequencer input. I first specified my own meta message for this purpose, because I wanted to generate something exotic which no other external device could "accidently" generate as well. It did not work, so I guessed that meta messages are filtered out because they cannot really appear at a physical input. Just for testing I generated notes instead and that worked. Great! But these notes now cannot be played anymore. So I changed my events to controllers. Now again, it doesn't work. Why? The controller data simply does not appear at the physical input, although I have cabled it to go there! Any ideas how to solve this? Or maybe an idea for a different approach to achieve this? Thanks, Dennis P.S.: Another annoying fact is that there seems to be no way to grab any data from the PhysIn if it didn't really come in at an input. There are different outputs for every physical port, but no output for data that came in from a virtual cable in the environment. This is not relevant for my problem, but it seems pretty annoying. Or am I wrong somehow?
