Re: First Loop Sync / Augustus midi remote control

[jnd <jnd@strombolic.net>]

Hi again

Do you control Augustus with a midi remote controller?
Have you had any problems with that?

I am trying to control Augustus with a max-msp patch that sends midi  
messages through controller 22 ( mapped on the augustus manual as  
input level knob ) channel 1.

- on max-msp midi setup i have "from max-msp 1" chosen has an output  
device.
- on Live Midi Sync preferences i have the  input: from MaxMpsp1  
Remote ON
- on Augustus I have selected midi in Channel 1&2.

(I am sure that Max is sending midi messages to Live because I tested  
making a Midi map on live.)

Any ideas for targeting this problem?

I know i am always writing to the list with more and more questions  
and problems....i really appreciate your will to help people like me.

Cheers,

Ana
