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?
