Hi,
I'd like to suggest a small improvement to MIDI presets in BandHelper.
I use BandHelper to trigger scenes in Ableton Live during performances, and the setup works brilliantly. It's been extremely reliable for years.
The one awkward part is configuring MIDI Note On messages. Currently, I have to enter these as raw hexadecimal codes, which means manually calculating the MIDI channel, note and velocity.
Would it be possible to add MIDI Note On as a message type in the preset editor, with three simple fields?
* MIDI Channel (1–16)
* Note Number (0–127)
* Velocity (1–127)
Similar to how BandHelper already provides fields for Program Change and Control Change messages.
This would make creating new MIDI presets considerably easier and eliminate the need to calculate hexadecimal messages or maintain a bank of preconfigured presets.
I imagine this could be useful for other musicians using BandHelper to trigger Ableton scenes, samples, clips or other MIDI-controlled equipment.
Thanks for considering it!
Best regards
I'll put that on my wish list. I'm surprised nobody has asked for that before.
How do you think Note Off messages should be handled? The app could have a setting to send them automatically, or users could just enter a second row with a velocity of 0. I'm not sure how many receiving devices would need this.
