Configuring Minim via MIDI

bschmaus

I've been exploring configuring Minim via the MIDI specification referenced at http://wiki.lividinstruments.com/wiki/Minim#MIDI_Specification.

I am successfully able to change the LED state of the buttons/pads. For example, sending the following CC message on channel 15 will change the pad color of the far right pad in the top row:

[190, 17, 77]

However, I'm unable to get the piano settings to work. For example, sending the following message to increase the pad octave does nothing.
​
​[191, 69, 127]
​
​I've confirmed the settings channels as 15 and 16 in the Minim editor.  Am I sending the octave change message incorrectly?  I've spent quite a bit of time reviewing the spec doc though I may be missing something obvious.
​
Any feedback/suggestions appreciated.  Thanks.

Great.  Thanks for clarifying that!

Actually, I do have a followup question.

I put together a simple Bitwig controller script for Minim (https://factotumo.com/2016/08/bitwig-controller-script-for-livid-minim/) and I've been reading about the Minim script for Ableton at http://wiki.lividinstruments.com/wiki/Minim_Ableton_Live_Remote_Script and skimming the code at https://github.com/LividInstruments/LiveRemoteScripts/blob/master/Livid_Minim/Minim.py to see how both session mode and instrument mode are supported so I can achieve similar functionality in Bitwig.

Does the Ableton script work with Minim's default settings?  And more specifically, how do you enable toggling between session mode and instrument mode in the Ableton script?

Thanks.
