HAPAX Definitions - SP404 MK2: can CC values be labeled?

[kobeflip]

Good morning,

I’ve been pleased to test out the beta implementation of definition files.

Today I began preparatory work on a definition for the SP404 MKII sampler, the manual for which can be found here: https://www.roland.com/global/support/by_product/sp-404mk2/owners_manuals/ . I noted that it broadcasts values (0-127) on CC#83 for each of its effects a la:
0 = off
1 = Auto Pitch
2 = Vocoder
…
17 = Compressor

It does this extensively across multiple midi channels.

I’m curious if there is a way to map the values to effects names in a definition file.

Best,
Phil

Hi @kobeflip,
It is not currently possible, no.

It is an interesting idea however, I’ll add it to the user suggestions list.

Thanks. I’d never seen this approach before but wonder if, in the era of increasingly robust hardware, this will become a more common way to squeeze more out of MIDI…

We’ll see, I guess.
