New Mozaic Script: Controller Buddy
I've uploaded a script that may be useful for people who have incremental encoder based controllers, and also has some benefit for regular knob and fader based controllers. What it does is convert incremental (sometimes called relative) encoder output to absolute (0-127) values. This is for use in apps that don't support incremental encoders, such as AUM, and also for hardware.
It also keeps track of the last CC values it outputs, whether from incremental or absolute controllers. This is saved in the host session so that on reload (or on demand) the values are re-sent. This can be used to re-sync hardware devices and such things as the Midi Fighter Twister LED rings. It's not a cure-all for controller support problems, but can be helpful in some situations.
Lastly, it has "snapshots" capability, allowing you to save the current values to one of 16 slots for later recall. This feature can be ignored, but can be useful for doing things like A/B comparisons, saving the current state before experimenting, or invoking settings at various times in a song.
Ironically, my main host, Loopy Pro doesn't need this at all since it supports both incremental encoders and midi feedback. But here it is in case it's of use to others.
This is one of those scripts that's a bit hard to describe in simple terms. Feel free to ask questions or provide feedback!

CONTROLLER BUDDY
This script focuses on two tasks: Adapting relative encoder ouput to apps that don't support them, and preserving the state of controls between saved host sessions so that the controller and session can be as closely in sync as possible. Througout these notes "relative" and "incremental" are used interchangably.
BASIC OPERATION
Tapping the first pad cycles through the controller schemes supported.
As messages are received from incremental encoders, they are converted to absolute values, appearing as basic absolute controller knobs and faders to receiving apps.
STATE SAVING
SNAPSHOTS
Snapshots are an optional feature. You can ignore them entirely unless you have a use for saving and recalling sets of values for later use, such as for A-B comparisons, or to manage settings for different parts of songs.
Thanks @wim! Folks, this is a game changer if you use hardware controllers that use encoders in AUM!
I appreciate your generosity, thank you!
Thanks for the kind words. 😎
Version 0.20 adds a Take Over (sometimes called Pick Up) mode for absolute value controllers!
I've struggled to get this right so many times, so I really hope I finally got it right.
v 0.21 resets take over status on snapshot recall, and (just in case) on dumping the values. This should not affect any knobs that are still in the same position as the previous snapshot, only the ones that have changed since. I hope.
I’ve got a controller with encoders and always had trouble with apps like AUM
I’m finding a few bugs, mostly cosmetic, and something fishy with the Absolute / Take Over mode. There will probably be a bug fix update tomorrow.
Wouaou ! Can't wait to try !
Awesome thanks @wim!
I think the bugs are all ironed out. I'm gonna call this v1.0 ... though hoping not to jinx it.
• v1.0
• Don't show pickup feedback in snapshots view
• Show correct pending pickup value
• Restore pad color for last selected snapshot on view switch
• Add takeover slop value in
@Settings
I’m excited to test this out with both my Axiom 61 and TouchOSC workflows, thanks @Wim!
Great. I'm looking forward to feedback about any issues. I've had limited ability to test.
