I got touchOSC installed on my ipad and am trying to map layouts to vcv. Page 1 sends cc1 to 40 on channel 1, page 2 same but on channel 2, etc etc. My issue is channel number is ignored when receiving midi, so I end up having one fader in touchOSC controlling 2 or more params in VCV. Tried with stoermelder midi cat as well and i got the same problem which makes me think it’s an issue with vcv. Already made sure the ipad is sending the right messages, no error on my part assigning cc# and channel#.
I have 5 or 6 pages of knobs and faders to map so I’m easily exceeding 128 different cc numbers, definitely need to use more than one channel of midi… Anybody run into that problem?
You can try my MIDI-MON module and check the incoming MIDI messages. I’m pretty sure it is a wrong setting in touchOSC or its MIDI driver but I have no experience with these.
I’m not sure I understand. By default “All channels” is selected for any MIDI input control and “Channel 1” for any MIDI output control as there is no “all channels” for MIDI output. This is true for MIDI-CAT and the VCV MIDI modules, I did not check every 3rd party module.
That would just affect midi feedback though, which is not the problem. If I use fundamental midi map module it’s the same result. I found a workaround, I need to setup a midi cat or midi map module for each channel…
Ah ok, I think there is a misunderstanding. The slot (in MIDI-CAT and MIDI-MAP) does NOT learn the MIDI channel, the channel is only filtered by the setting in the display. If you leave it at “All channels” the module will respond to messages on any channel.
My MIDI controller from iCon sends for each fader the same controller on a different channel. In order to map it I could need 8 modules of MIDI MAP, each set to the corresponding channel. It’s possible, but not convenient. Isn’t there a VCV module which can learn controller and channel at once?
