Send Chords off to 2 Synths
Hi,
I am using Loopy Pro. I want to create a series of radio buttons where each would trigger a synth pad; aka send a set of MIDI notes to two (2) instances of Korg Module. Some requirements include:
* I set the scale and/or notes - meaning I do not want some 3rd party app deciding the MIDI notes; UNLESS I can control the exact notes sent. I don't want to "JUST" send 1, 3, 5 and 8. I want to specify the notes of the chord
- I set the velocity (volume) of the notes - meaning I do not want a 3rd party app setting the notes and velocity; UNLESS I can control these and set them in a preset
My approach:
- Use a Mozaic script (I have made these before)
- First use a LP step dial; to trigger a Program Change message to Mozaic, to set two things (1) major or minor key (2) mix or blend of notes either higher pitched like a violin-ish string section or lower pitched like a cello /bass and violin string section
- I have 4 choices /options here
- THEN..... after selecting one of the 4 options here; I press one of a series of radio buttons to send a (singular) note to Mozaic
- ~finally~ - Mozaic can send a MIDI note off; for the exact same notes it originally sent out in my script
I am looking at Mozaic's built in functions (syntax uses an '@' sign); and I do not see anything where Mozaic can receive a MIDI program change message. See the screen snapshot below.
The "hope" here is that I do not have to open the Mozaic UI, that I can just use the buttons/step dial on Loopy Pro.
I also am using mLFO to send MIDI CC messages to the 2 instances of Korg Module to oscillate the volume of the chords being played.
Open to thoughts here....
Is there a way to send Mozaic a PC message. The value in using Mozaic is that I can code in the exact notes (1, 3, 5, 9, 11) and the exact velocities of these that I want. Mozaic can also send out the MIDI note off.
Thanks,

To receive a PC message in Mozaic, you'd have to use @OnMIDIInput and check for MIDICommand == 0xC0. If you're also sending other events to Mozaic, you don't have to handle them all in @OnMIDIInput. They will also be presented to the other event handlers.
Alternatively, you could change your Loopy Pro control to send different CC values, instead of PCs. But handling the PC is not hard, just a bit arcane. You'd have the same problem with aftertouch.
By the way, you can trigger mozaic's pads and knobs directly without using midi by using AUv3 parameters. I find it a lot less cumbersome to puppet string mozaic that way.
@uncledave - Thank you. As always you're a fountain of knowledge on about any AUv3 plugin.
@espiegel123 - I have done some more thinking. Mozaic has its own UI which is customizable. I was "trying" to save a mouse click (so to speak) and avoid having to open it. In Loopy Pro you can actually open a plugin by clicking on UI, which makes it much easier than scrolling through channels (my sessions have a lot). I am rethinking my Loopy Pro UI approach.
