I’m trying to create small midi controller, where I can solo/mute/arm selected track. Only what I can now is work with only the first 8 tracks(1st bank) and I can receive message when 1-8 track is selected. But when I select 9-10-11.. track I don’t receive message about track selection. So, how to follow the selected track and handle it? It also can be good enough, if after the track selection I can press button in my controller and send some midi(?) to switch current bank as an alternative solution.
Please give me some advices where to go
Many thanks!
So, guys, the question is not how banks work, this I know, the question is how to detect what is the current bank which was selected by mouse click by user…
It is useless when you have 50 tracks in the mix and press bank left-bank right to find the track you want to edit…
Okay, guys!
After as hell crazy investigation and experiments I found solution. And now my arduino midi controller automatically follows the selected by mouse track. For the solution I have to create Control Surface Python Remote Midi script to send to arduino signals when track is selected. Then I move banks and channels to the selected track, it works well! Only return and master tracks are not implemented. The main problem is that python remote script is not documented well so you need some time to experiment with it. So now I understan why so many controllers have this stupid useless interface where you need to search track by presing left ritgh buttons, crazy thing in 2025
