ok here is my dilemma, my american audio dv2 mixer has a master/pfl button that i can switch if i want to watch levels from either source and i was wondering if anyone knows how to map those type of LEDs with the button :eek: :eek: any help would be appreciated! :cool: plus this would great for those in the same boat as me :cool:

Let me see if I understand

The button has two LED and one light up in Master Mode and the other lights up when in PFL mode?

Your level LEDs are already working with the correct indication, no Meter Level LED mapping required.


Let me know If my statements/questions are right or not and I can take a look.

i have the LEDs to indicate what mode im in but they DO NOT light up when i press the button, i tried mapping the master/pfl to the output limiter to see if either LED would light up when i press the button...no success :cry: and i tried to map the master meter to the master LEDs and i tried the pfl portion for one side of the pfl LEDs...all i get is a full master and pfl LEDs and they dont show the actual volume of whats in the program.....

I was looking at the manual and the following may or may not work because it seems like the mode button is a hybrid MIDI/hardware control

This part in the input section is setting up a logic modifier to a function that is not in Cross, in this case the LED mode button.

When on Shift logic one is on and so is master
Wehrn is off Shift logic one is off and so is PFL

Input

Code: Select all
        <mapping>
          <events>
            <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0x7" channel="0x1"/>
          </events>
          <controls>
            <control alias="mod(ShiftLogic1)"/>
          </controls>
          <preset name="Toggler Button">
             <parameters>
               <parameter object="invert" key="on" value="off"/>
            </parameters>
           </preset>
         </mapping>


Now for the LED. It may not work because there are no separate LED for the Master and PFL level Meters but if my assumption for the mode button is correct then this may work


Output
This is setting up Shift Logic one switch (the LED mode switch) to light the MAster LED when on and light the PFL LED when off.

Code: Select all
        <mapping>
          <control alias="mod(ShiftLogic1)" value="true"/>
          <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0x7" channel="0x1" value="127"/>
          <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0xe" channel="0x1" value="0"/>
        </mapping>
        <mapping>
          <control alias="mod(ShiftLogic1)" value="false"/>
         <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0x7" channel="0x1" value="0"/>
          <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0xe" channel="0x1" value="127"/>
        </mapping>

This is setting your level LED for Master Left and Right for MAster Mode

Channel A on the left and channel B on the right for PFL mode

Code: Select all
        <mapping>
          <control alias="fam(Mixer).MasterMeterLeft" value="%"/>
          <MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x0f" channel="0x1" value="%"/>
        </mapping>
        <mapping>
          <control alias="fam(Mixer).MasterMeterRight" value="%"/>
          <MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x10" channel="0x1" value="%"/>
        </mapping>
        <mapping>
          <control alias="fam(Mixer).ChannelAMeter" value="%"/>
          <MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x0f" channel="0x1" value="%"/>
        </mapping>
        <mapping>
          <control alias="fam(Mixer).ChannelBMeter" value="%"/>
          <MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x10" channel="0x1" value="%"/>
        </mapping>


Hope this helps

looks kinda complicated but getting the hang of it :cool: i just started doing MIDI and i like it but there needs to be more controls implimentad for ALL mid/hybrid hardware because thats what it is coming to :eek: :eek: :eek: :right:
