Note On/Off Translation File

Hi, I am using the Midi: Note On/Off and I want to toggle the picture every time I pressed the key using the Push button State. Is it possible?

If possible how can I edit it in the translation file? Thank you!


P.S I am using it in a different program and it messes up if I used the toggle state. Just wondering if that's possible because I read in the website/doc that it might be possible but can't understand the process.

Hi,

In what way are things messed up if you use the toggle button?
Do you get any feedback from the other program when you press a button?

With a translation file, you can get a situation where you toggle between sending two different notes, and each note can have its own image. Or you can configure it always to send the same note but show different images depending on incoming note commands.

I don't know if any of those solutions would solve your problem.

"Or you can configure it always to send the same note but show different images depending on incoming note commands."

Yeah so how can I do this, what are the commands I can use. Thank You!

Try this:

Save the content as an .XML file and reference that file as a translation file.

As it stands, the button will always send note 10 and will display "firstimage" when value 0 is received and "secondimage" when value 127 is received. You can, of course, change to whatever values are relevant in your setup. And you must of course set valid paths to the images.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<MidiSteps version="1.1">
  <Default send="no" receive="yes" display="" image="" displayonsend="no" useclosestvalueonreceive="no"/>
  <StepValues>
   <Step value="0" image="firstimage"/>
   <Step value="10" send="yes" receive="no"/>
   <Step value="127" image="secondimage"/>
  </StepValues>
</MidiSteps>

EDIT: Okay I get the process now but to make it straightforward can I possibly make a MIDI note On/Off Pushbutton state into a toggle switch using the translation file? To be honest that's the thing I want why did I make it more complicated my bad hehe

For example: I'm using this MIDI in voicemeeter and the MIDI Mapping for it only accepts note-on. If I use the toggle, the voicemeeter MIDI will only trigger if the toggle switch is note on. So what I'm trying to figure out If I can make the MIDI note on/off trigger to the first image for the first press and trigger the second picture on the second press. I hope you can help me. Thank You!

It is not possible to have a configuration where the button sends the same note every time and toggles between two different images.

You can toggle between two different notes and have different images, but I guess that this doesn't help you.    

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<MidiSteps version="1.1">
  <Default send="yes" receive="yes" display="" image="" displayonsend="yes" useclosestvalueonreceive="no"/>
  <StepValues>
   <Step value="126" image="firstimage"/>
   <Step value="127" image="secondimage"/>
  </StepValues>
</MidiSteps>

Yeah, It's all good I'm still lovin' the plugin. Thank you for the help!
