Using StreamByter to automate Play/Pause [SOLVED]

MikeFloutier

I had previously used basic midi-learn, triggered by my BlueBoard pedal, to Play/Pause the AB3 transport.

However, since this is now interfered with, when using my current StreamByter script, I need to be able to use that same script as the trigger.

I’m fairly sure I’ve seen “StreamByter” listed as a Trigger in the past but I can’t seem to get it to appear now.

Any ideas would be very welcome!

PS I notice that AUM has the facility to listen for MMC SysEx messages. I did try: Send F0 7F 7F 06 02 F7 , but no joy.

AUM Manual says:
The "Receive MMC" toggle allows control of the transport clock with MIDI Machine Control. When enabled, AUM reacts to the MMC SysEx messages for play, stop and record.

@MikeFloutier I just tested your Sysex in an AUM/StreamByter combo and it worked:

# AUM play/stop control demo
# 
# Route the midi output of this streambyter instance to 
# AUMs midi control.
#
# -ki 06.03.2022

If LOAD
  Set NAME AUM_Play_Control

  Set q0 PLAY +button
  Set q1 STOP/REWIND +button
  Set q2 +hide
  Set q3 +hide
  Set q4 +hide
  Set q5 +hide
  Set q6 +hide
  Set q7 +hide

  set SLIDER_DISPLAY 1
end

# Check for button q0
If M0 == F0 7D 01 00
  set lb0 sStart
  Send F0 7F 7F 06 02 F7
End

# Check for button q1
If M0 == F0 7D 01 01
  set lb0 sStop
  Send F0 7F 7F 06 01 F7
End

Pressing button 0 starts AUMs transport and button 1 stops it. If stopped, pressing button 1 will rewind the AUM transport.

The StreamByter AU was loaded inside a midi slot and its output routed to AUM Midi Control.

Have you added Midi Learn as a destination for Streambyter on the MIDI Page? You need to do that for AU’s MIDI to reach it.

@MikeFloutier I‘m missing a bit of context here: What is the use-case for your ‚current streambyter script‘ and where it‘s loaded and routed to ? Do you want additionaly control transport of AUM or AudioBus ?

My above script sample only proved that AUms manual is correct and its transport can indeed be controlled by MMC Sysex messages.

Thank you @espiegel123 , that’s what I needed to know!

It works fine, and without the SysEx message (although it was great to hear I’d managed to decode the Somascape page 😂). I just inserted “Send B0 $21 $127” instead. [edit: plus, of course, the midi-learn bit enabled by your brilliant tip]

@_ki , many thanks for that input. Regarding the context, I’m running:

1. Midi Guitar 2 as a standalone,
2. AudioKit Synth One, also stand-alone,
3. AudioKit AR-909 (drums) inside AB3, all 3 controlled with a,
4. BlueBoard BT Midi pedal - 4 buttons + 2 external sockets for CC input. I use the 4 buttons to select the presets in 1. & 2. above and one of the sockets, with a sustain type pedal to handle the following:
5. Start/Stop for the AR-909 (quick click), plus 2 pattern handling routines,
6. a) Main/Alt pattern > Fill-In > Main/Alt (short hold), and
7. b) Main > Fill-In > Alt, or Alt > Fill-In > Main (long Hold)
